5 years ago I released Flynn: Son of Crimson with my wonderful team and I was so exhausted I couldn't bear to think about it anymore. I recently played it from start to finish and you know what.. I couldn't be any prouder. 🥹 The game is actually kinda fun! 💜

How do you make a precision platformer feel great? We spoke to Softlock Interactive about building Bobls in GameMaker, from responsive movement to its creator-first level editor. Read more gamemaker.io/en/blog/plat...
GameMaker Blog Image for the bolbs interview "Precision bubbles and player creativity" "Initially I just wanted to make a nice-feeling, skill-based platformer. I built the first prototype and showed it to a couple of international friends at a speedrunning event. To see them have fun with it, to hear their feedback really fueled my motivation to do more with the game.""Growing up I always loved when games shipped with an editor. Especially if it was the same editor used by the dev team, like Little Big Planet and even Counter-Strike."Read the full blog at gamemaker.io to find out more!

REVIEW – “Blood Dungeon” will bleed you of time with its addictive roguelike gameplay and charming, simple design
Indie devs Messhof, best known for the Nidhogg games and Wheel World, make a compelling case with Blood Dungeon. This is a game that charms with its design, seemingly inviting you into its stained, quirky halls with one beckoning bony finger, only to lead you to a banquet housing a smorgasbord of fun... and blood. I mean, it's in the title.
