By the way, still looking for playtesters for Pingbert’s Snow Ride! The demo is coming soon (under Steam Review), and I’d love to get more players to try it out before release! If you'd like to try it out early and help me polish the game before release, reply or DM me! Thank you! 💙

Despite it all, Pingbert Snow Rides 🐧❄️ -- #IndieGame #Platformer #Speedrun

Fuzzy Pickles! Originally a dev tool to take cool screenshots, decided to adapt it to a photo mode that you can use during gameplay to take cool shots! --- #gamedev #Indiegamedev

For the five or six Mac gamers out there, good news! Just tried Pingbert's Snow Ride on a Mac Mini and it runs surprisingly well so far! Needs more testing but can say the game will very likely be up on Mac as well.

❗ With spooky season arriving, come even spookier topics: P.L.A.Y.T.E.S.T.S. 👻❗ The demo build of Pingbert’s Snow Ride is almost done, and I'm preparing a new closed playtest! Interested in joining playtesting? Join our Discord to request access, or DM me here!

The current Steam playtest will close soon to make way for the new version. Saves should eventually carry over to the public demo and full game. Thank you! 💙❄️

Finished a 100% save of the demo build today! Spotted many things to improve on but it was fun. Excited/nervous to share it with playtesters this month.

Pingbert's Snow Ride spoilers

In Paper Mario, Mayor Penguin is found seemingly dead, with Mario being suspected of his murder. However, if a letter is delivered to him during that time, he will get up, thank Mario, and promptly go back to being dead. Unfortunately, this cannot prove Mario's innocence.

Have this urge to show some cool new PSR stuff but need to hold it in to not spoil aaaagh I can't wait for people to play it!

A little preview of a peaceful new stage I've been working on, full of windmills, floating islands, and clear skies. Nothing can go wrong here. Happy with this area's visuals. (music is placeholder) -- #indiegame

Some work this weekend on improving gliding controls with smoother camera (for controller and mouse players), feels nicer now. Pingbert can now do extremely dangerous manouvers like this now wow

One of Pingbert's Snow Ride biggest features is it will include the very first NPC in videogame history named Erwington. And they are not very likeable. History in the making.

Splatoon's one of those franchises I am pretty sure I would really get into ever since the first one but somehow haven't had the opportunity to play one. Maybe Splatoon 4 will be the one.

One of the most commonly asked questions, here is the official statement: Yes, Pingbert has a squishable body. If you squish hard enough, he might even scream

Cabin construction is nearly finished.. Pingbert and Pingette hosted a little house warming party with some unnamed NPCs to celebrate!

-- Arcade Mode 🎰🕹️-- Rack up points by delivering mail, smashing crates, chasing down golden mailboxes, reaching checkpoints at a good speed, and more! Go for the highest score you can while trying not to fall off, you've only got limited lives after all. -- #gamedev #indiegames

-- Avalanche Mode 🕓❯❯❯❯ -- Outslide the incoming avalanche! Keep the timer alive by sliding through rings, collecting clock pickups, and cutting every corner you can. The longer you survive, the higher score you will get. --- #gamedev #indiegames
