I'm putting together a Canada game dev starter pack in response to this idiotic tariff war so people can support Canada-based game devs through follows / purchases if they choose to. Reply if you're a game dev in Canada and you want to be on it. Please repost. Thanks!

Fivefold is a good time. Recommended if you like Sudoku but fancy trying something fresh.

Owen Goss@owengoss.com

Our full app version of Fivefold is now available! Fivefold is a Sudoku-inspired game where the rules change every puzzle. It's a free download, NO ADS, tons of free puzzles, and a puzzle pack if you want more. That's it! iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/fivef... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Egg Goes Right is Game of the Day on the App Store (I think it's US only tho) If you played the original 20 levels, there are 60 more levels available now, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Would be honoured if you gave them a spin ๐Ÿซก

I made the tool to help us to compare our Steam image assets to other games, so it was always a bummer that screenshots were not included because I needed a backend to do that rather than just client-side code. But now we have one and it has unlocked a lot of new features like this.

As well as screenshots and trailers, thereโ€™s a bunch of other improvements in v3, like being able to search for games by name (instead of pasting the URL), a Recent Games list in the search bar and an Iโ€™m Feeling Lucky button at the bottom. Please share and send any feedback via DM on here. Cheers!

Damn, this game is fun. It's sudoku-like but has some fresh ideas and has that hit of satisfaction when everything falls into place. Couple of minutes to finish the daily puzzles when you get the hang of it.

Oops, we made another game! Fivefold is a daily logic puzzle where the rules change every day. Play it free in your browser! fivefold.ca

In this clip I show how I made the robot's voice using FM synthesis, random LFOs and FM modulation (along with some judicious cherry-picking) to get some radio inspired robot chirrups. #indiedev #gamedev

BTW I also upload making-of videos for each of these small games I've been making! Here's the making of Hard Code, the ball droid game I made recently. Please be kind and leave a like or a comment if you drop by. #indiedev #gamedev

Here's a clip where I'm talking about how I added visual cues to help the player to read depth intuitively for platforming, even though the camera in this game is fixed. #indiedev #gamedev

Reviews have been great! My games usually get a U shaped distribution - 1 star from people who nope out of the difficulty, and 5 stars from people who gel with it, but it seems more top-heavy than usual, which means, maybe I'm learning to make hard games more accessible?

Thereโ€™s something in this. If you live with someone who would enjoy it, play it co-op. I did this with Her Story too, this kind of game is so much fun as a shared experience.
