Holy frijoles that looks ace! Beautiful sense of speed and that transition is 🔥

It's like a cartoony metroid fusion with a 'mech suit building + breaking' mechanic! plus puzzles 🐀

oh nice one!
all really nice, but bottom left is my favourite 🤘

Never intend anything haha

Yes!! Rita is a riot to play 🤘🤘 do yourself a favour and chick it out of you haven't yet

Whoa you've nailed the style! Awesome stuff 😎

Looks great! How's about a space narwhal to include a horn in the attack?

I was heavily inspired by that superb intro sequence in #donkeykong for my demo opening. It's a mini tutorial, cutscene & character portrait blended together perfectly. Good work DK 🍌

The rat may need a bit more flair to compare... 😬

My local library has a huge exhibit dedicated to #untitledgoosegame ! What the honk??

A very pleasant suprise to run into this, what a cool showcase. Feeling validated about all my scribbled dev notebooks 😅

This 🎵 short (audio dev log?) is criminally unappreciated!

Clint is an amazing composer I've been lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with

Go check him out! 👀

Unexpected from the master of maps! Hopefully beats drawing them up 😀

Currently improving the 📷 camera & 📍 map marker system

Now I will be extra heartbroken when players completely ignore this feature

pls tell me that you use map markers in games 😬

Hi Constantin; cheers for saying so!
Best way to contact is via email if okay? I'm not sure about how wise it is to post email addy's directly into Bluesky posts, but you can find it at the bottom of my webpage! 👍 squashandstretchgames.com.au

What a kind thing to share! Thanks Astera these kind words mean a lot :)
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Hey thanks! That's kind of you to say, appreciate it 🙂

the word "switch" makes a lot of sense in lieu of swap.
don't tell nintendo though 😅

Chet the rat haha! Ratchet rampage is amazing aliteration 😀
I know there is already a popular videogame character called Ratchet so I left it a little ambiguous as to whether that was intended to be the name of the rat or not

you're right tho, names are hard

a man in a blue shirt and tie is standing in front of a wall with papers on it . ALT: a man in a blue shirt and tie is standing in front of a wall with papers on it .

What could it mean?? 🤔

Seeing the rats family sounds better than seeing the rat in a leotard ! 😂
