For those who don't like intensive story in puzzle game I added an alternative - a summary mode: the whole section is reduced to one sentence so player still can track what is going on but without any details. #indiegames #puzzlegames #puzzle #pixelart #adventuregame

Added a visual hint when movement in direction is not possible - that makes it a bit more clear for the player but also helps a lot on records so you can understand player's intention #indiegames #puzzlegames #puzzle #pixelart

Olaf had a big night, and now he can't find the royal crown! Every puzzle sees you retracing your steps as you put it all back together, and hopefully... not lose your head for it 😱 #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #pixelart #puzzlegame

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Retracing your steps should be easy... unless you had a big night! Olaf has spent his #WishlistWednesday figuring out just what happened last night, one puzzle at a time 😅🍻 #puzzle #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Whole plot of Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld, so I decided to add Death to the intro. Do you think it is a good fit? #discworld #indiedev #indiegamedev

Last night was legendary! This morning? A disaster. Help Olaf retrace his steps and uncover what really happened 🥴 #WishlistWednesday #Puzzle #PuzzleGames #IndieGames

I finally implemented a footprints mechanic - they lead character from one point to another but you are not allowed to cross them. With this I can create complex puzzles where on each "crossroad" player needs to select a direction to follow. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #indiegames

To introduce the new hint system for "pull-instead-of-push" puzzles, I recorded a radio show interview with Olaf himself. Check out Booze FM's latest interview! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #sokoban #indiegames #solodev

What do we tell to standart components? Not today! In fact I would like to just use the standart OptionButton component, but it is not scaled with game window and has slightly weird navigation, so I implemented a replacement. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #solodev #madewithgodot

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Hey, saw your demo played by @bigsquirrell.bsky.social . Had (or still have 😅) similar issue with dialogue box, but in my case it was more about contrast. Ended up with such option

YES! Olaf the Boozer finally reached a 1000 wishlist on Steam! Thanks to everyone who believed in this projects. I appreciate your feedback and will deliver better tutorials and ability to skip dialog in a next update. #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame

Olaf the Boozer has apparently become sentient and decided the in-level ale supply isn't enough. He discovered he can pull trees and escape the mortal coil for... well, probably more booze. Wishlist until he did not escape completely! store.steampowered.com/app/3001110 #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

I followed advice from this article and switched to word-based animation. Can you feel it any difference? www.gamedeveloper.com/art/the-crea... #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #solodev #sokoban

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Now Olaf is hammering every answer! It has to help to see focused button. Also I adjusted UI contract and updated text output system so now it displayed by words. How do you like there changes? #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #godot

Imp: "We listen and we don't judge..." Famous last words before Olaf finds out about the aspic! 😂 Watch this hilarious moment from our "Olaf the Boozer" parody of the 'we listen' trend. #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #steam #WishlistWednesday

Pulling is not pushing, or why Olaf the Boozer did not take part in Steam Box-Pushing Fest😅 My game was not approved to participate in this fest because it is not exclusively Sokoban-like game, but also has adventure-like storytelling. But also so many other #indiegame cannot fit into one genre.

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

It is already a month since the demo of Olaf the Boozer is available on Steam! Thanks for you I got bunch of valuable feedback and started to work on fixes. One of the issues was was about font for the dialog box. I prepared some options, which of them is the most comfortable for you?

310

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I have some idea! Try Olaf the Boozer - it is a sokoban adventure with the chaotic and hilarious spirit of the movie "The Hangover". Demo will stay active after the fest. store.steampowered.com/app/3528050

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Sokoban is a puzzle game where you need to push boxes to the right place. In my case - to pull barrels and characters

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Olaf the Boozer finally reached 500 wishlists! I had a really bad start. A page was created in June, but because of my work and being overwhelmed I was able to come back to development only in mid-November. But this time with an awesome script and (almost) clear vision of the final result.

020

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Olaf the Boozer is also within Sokoban's TOP demos! (5th page, but still!)
