Another monkey making small indie games. I combine surreal horror with odd gameplay mechanics. A thread about my main games on Steam: https://bsky.app/profile/apehardware.bsky.social/post/3l3bn4x5nww2e Itch.io: https://apehardware.itch.io/

Kuentame on Steam A bizarre, top-down, bullet hell platformer about someone who doesn't desire connection, in a world in which everything is connected.

I agree with you on the AI cybercancer. It's specially annoying when you're a dev that has used no genAI at all but get completely ignored.

Plataformas de lluvia de balas surrealista, hecho en EspaΓ±a y Galicia, 100% hecho por un homo sapiens.

Thanks for the space, I'm having plenty of trouble getting noticed.

My game is a surreal bullet hell platformer.
No GenAI at all, everything is pre-rendered 3D models, kinda like the original Myst or FNaF.

Kuentame Demo on Steam The first level of a bizarre, top-down, bullet hell platformer about someone who doesn't mind being alone in a world in which everyone has been connected into one.

May I add a contribution (yes, I suck at marketing)?

Same.
It's specially annoying when you're a participant dev and have to scroll through several cybercancer covers to get to your own game.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Kuentame is a bizarre bullet hell platformer with prerendered graphics and cryptic lore about the complete collapse of human communication. The demo contains the first level:

Thanks for the space. Have my spooky bullet hell platformer:

And since you mentioned no GenAI, you might like this older game of mine that does a very subtle critique of that very subject:

We really need an option to filter out the cybercancer.

It's specially frustrating when you're a game dev who has used zero AI and see your game buried alongside slop.

Blatant self-promotion btw: store.steampowered.com/app/4225600/...

Kuentame's demo is on the #SteamNextFest.

A surreal, pre-rendered bullet hell platformer about a girl who doesn't care about communication in a word in which everything is connected.

Made 100% by a homo sapiens.

"Until It’s Undone: Unmastered" is 72% off for the #TypingFest.

It's a small, experimental "text adventure" about a weird rural town where time itself is off.

New devlog, and most importantly, a proper trailer.

First time doing pre-rendered cutscenes for a trailer. They're pretty short but they look cool.

Sorry for late reply, I don't use social media that often.

You have to take only the items whose number doesn't match the floor they're in.

Progress is being made. I decided to post a devlog every time i finish one of the planned levels.

As you can see in the screenshots, this one is the mandatory biopunk-esque level.

Happy New Year, have this weird demo as a gift:

"Kuentame", a top-down bullet hell platformer with pre-rendered graphics, about the collapse of human communication or something like that.

Made a small thing for a Galician game jam (don't worry, it's also in English).

The theme was making a game based on a short story about someone trying to remember an odd childhood story about fishing a giant octopus.

My take on this was a quiz horror game:
