Going through Dark Souls for the first time and I’m in the depths… it’s wild how many “fuck you”s they’re willing to throw at the player! I’m undecided on whether I like it or not, but, you gotta respect it

This sucked me in a lot longer than I thought it would. A great bite-sized arcade game with lots of to learn over many quick attempts. And it's free!

Put some finishing touches & released my Elevator Action/Rolling Bird inspired game : boghog.itch.io/caramel-acti... You can play it in your browser Though I'd recommend getting the desktop ver since the browser version is funky

Got my first Time Crisis 4 1CC on an actual arcade machine today! And a new PB of 5.27mil! Wish I knew who these other names are. So rare to see anyone other than me playing.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.
