Pro tip for indie devs: If your executive dysfunction is severe enough, you can advertise that your indie game took over a decade to make!

Hey, fellow puzzle sickos: Want to play a cool Sokoban game that's guaranteed better than Order of the Sinking Star with the added bonus of your money not going into Jon Blow's wallet?

Tower of Gold is coming November 1st! 🎉 It's a massive puzzle/action game with a first-person overworld full of characters and mysteries. I'll release a trailer alongside the game, but here's a small teaser in the meantime! #indiegames #indiedev

I have it on very good authority that Mamas was a deeply loved cat. If you have any cats in your life (AND YOU SHOULD), please give them extra love today for Mamas.

Beloved Jingle Cats superstar Mamas passed away about an hour and a half ago in her favorite spot of the house. If I ever mentioned my "wife" in chats with any of you, it was this sweet lady. She was an older cat at about 17 years, but she's in a more comfortable place now.

Still here on my hands and knees BEGGING for some kind soul to "translate" this version of Zork. Like, the original Zork was already in English. Just not this specific Saturn/PS1 version with *immaculate vibes* and Koshiro Yuzo music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZQJ...

The Sega Saturn/PlayStation version of Zork is one of those games I think about way too often. Its aesthetics and audio design are incredible and I'm so upset it was never released outside of Japan. It even has music by Koshiro Yuzo! youtu.be/BZQJCy7zJjQ

Imagining a fake AI chatbot called Kronk where dummies ask it "KRONK IZ DAT TROO!?" and it only ever replies with "Well ya got me. By all accounts it doesn't make sense."

This keeps happening in other mobile games and I do not know why. The only thing I can think of is that some part of "Kite Line" is a slur in some other language.

Excuse me?

Few things in video games are as satisfying as having a completed save file on an old Japanese fantasy game. Lots of cute lil pixel art items, weapons, and equipment. All laid out nicely in a tidy, organized menu with their own designated cubby made just for them. Yes I do have OCD, why do you ask?

Raindrop Sprinters is SO GOOD and deceptively simple in appearance. It has a surprising amount of depth and strategy with lots of fun secrets to uncover. Even if you don't normally care for arcade-styled games, give this one a go. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be significantly less hidden.

By the way, the Nintendo Switch version of #RaindropSprinters is now on Summer Sale! ☀️ 30–50% off, depending on your region. This little game has quietly been finding new players, and it may even reach 2,000 copies sold this year. Give it a try! games.909works.net/products/rai...

An absolute masterclass in surreal, slow-burn psychological horror with a laser-focused theme and a steady escalation of tension that never gives you the release of a jumpscare, leaving you to stew in it forever.

POINPY IS BACK! 🎉 And now it's FREE! No ads, no paid unlocks, just the full game. There's a tip option if you feel like it 😉 Available NOW on iOS and Android!

Recently discovered the Game Boy Color aquarium sim AquaLife and I am obsessed with its cute spritework and color palette. Lookit those lil GBC fishies!! (All images taken from The Spriters Resource.)

Japan always gets the best cover art. Also, if you've never played these games or have avoided them because of the terrible Petz branded box art: They are *not* the kinds of games you likely think they are.

One month left to submit something for the first annual SOUPJAM! Plenty of time to make something cool. The barrier to entry is really low and you don't need any gamedev experience to make something. There are lots of great entries submitted so far, so come check 'em out! itch.io/jam/soupjam2...
