Gilbert and Hank is a Pikmin mod about one of the weirdest duos imaginable: the Waterwraith and a Breadbug. One is one of Pikmin’s most terrifying enemies. The other is mostly just here to drag things around and cause problems. This is a quick follow-up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_LNuZ9tJ6o

Game Soup is made of microgame parodies that somehow dodge lawsuits. It jumps from FPS to puzzle game to farming sim—all just legally different enough. Check out the highlight TikTok here or full video on YouTube! #indiegames #GameSoup #microgames www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kk4tFb/

Did you know Super Mario 64 had its own trading cards back in 1996? I managed to track down both the card set and made a video unboxing them and exploring this forgotten piece of Mario history. Check it out here! youtu.be/tSEBo7lgmp4?si #Mario #Nintendo64 #RetroGaming #TCG #Bunkle

Played the Haste demo a while back, and now the full game is finally out. Here’s what I thought during my first run. Indie game fans, this one’s worth a look. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rhMWWQ/ #indiegames #hastegame #gaming

Just posted a first look at the Demon Tides demo — it’s a really promising 3D indie platformer with great worldbuilding and design. Easily one of the most exciting indie demos I’ve played this year. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MT13Ar/ #DemonTides #IndieGames #Platformer

Posted my first impressions of Sol Cesto over on TikTok. It’s one of those indie games that quietly pulls you in. Really cool atmosphere. Link’s in my bio if you wanna see the full breakdown on YouTube. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86Evjnc/

Tried out Advent Neon—cool style and some solid ideas, but it still feels a bit early. Curious to see where it goes with more polish. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86k6rxD/ #indiegames #fridaynightfunkin #megaman #pixelart #indiedev #gamingcommunity

Have you heard about '9 Kings'? It’s a new auto battler I tried during Steam Next Fest. If you're into games like Balatro, this one’s for you! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86JYaPq/ . #9Kings #AutoBattler #IndieGames #StrategyGames #UpcomingGames

This is one of the games I played during Next Fest and it totally gives N64-era platformer vibes in the best way. Ruffy and the Riverside has slick movement, cozy art, and an amazing soundtrack from what I played. I did a quick spotlight on it here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jsFoDt/

Tears of the Kingdom is unironically one of the funniest games out there. Here are some goofy things that happened to me in my time playing the game. #zelda #nintendoswitch www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jmamgG/

With all the hype around #Nintendo #Switch2 right now, I’m most excited for another amazing portable indie game machine out there so people can play all these awesome upcoming games. I made a video going over 10 of the ones from Steam Nextfest I liked most! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAaD...

I understand that they wanted the Switch 2 cases to look different than the original Nintendo Switch game cases on store shelves, but it looks so weird with a square logo and such a large red bar. I wish we could just pull a 3DS and move the logo to the other side.
