20. LOVE ETERNAL That's right. I'm still talking about it. Where else would you find a mix of experimental horror and punishing yet glorious precision platforming? LOVE ETERNAL is a short 3-5 hour adventure that, thanks to its hollowing sound design, will leave you shook after you're done.

mario is dead. but LOVE is ETERNAL. its october so it might be scary. this is the type of game i have been STRONGLY recommended by friend but the type of game that said person can't say anything at all about whatsoever. aka my jam probably. i will be live VERY SOON twitch.tv/wayneradiotv

this is tomorrow, slide in... esp curious if anyone has any recs for RPGs or dungeon crawlers since those are good time sponges

taking a 14 hour flight, please recommend games for deck or PC!

It's a low probability that you, the person reading this, are one of the 23 people on Bsky who played LOVE ETERNAL. If you watch this trailer and haven't played it, don't read the thread; please just go play the game now. You'll hardly find a work so profound for $8 and 3 to 5 hours of your weekend.

yes, learning how to ask questions and find the answers yourself is a valuable skill, but if you want to make progress, spending thirty minutes a day just watching old JP Xrd videos and finding some stuff to copy in training mode will get you further than 30 minutes of journaling in a public Discord

the only art advice that really matters is to keep doing it, you'll figure out the rest

New blog post: How I Design Original Arcade-Style Games Arcade players kept telling me that Hyper Bun Buster's game mechanics felt arcade-like, despite it not playing like any existing arcade games. Here are some tips if you want to design arcade-like games too. duckberet.com/blog/how-i-d...

if youve known me for any length of time you have heard me bemoan the death of flash and with it the flash game ethos. i’m currently playing love eternal and this game is exactly the sort of thing i was talking about. long live the action puzzle platformer

MONOMOON, my non-linear game about exploration and discovery launches on Steam November 11th! With no proper instructions, you must deduce and achieve your goals as you solve puzzles, find mysterious items, and uncover secrets hiding right under your nose.

New blog post: How to 1 Credit Clear (1CC) Arcade Games I get asked about this from time to time so I thought I'd write a post about it. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but hopefully it helps make arcade games feel a little less intimidating. They're just games! duckberet.com/blog/how-to-...

πŸ“ brlka.com/posts/2026-0... new blog post! this one's about designing "avoiders", the term i've been using for all my tiny arcadey games about dodging obstacles. imo these are really underrated design exercises, and i'd love to see more people give making them a shot (esp. since they're so easy!)

you wishlist this now
