Polar Peril - such a cute game. And very complete, not just a demo.

I got a solid 9/10 review about Self Simulated from @nintendonwr.bsky.social and I couldn't be happier 💖

For those of you who don't like that I charge a few bucks for my tools (and feel you need to say something), I'm deeply sorry, they're still charging for food, internet and rooming where I live. I promise as soon as that changes to make all my tools free!

The second game I've worked on that made the cover. Thanks to @attackemartin.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this. selfsimulated.com

GbBBS95 has been played over 2000 times. Thanks to all who took the time to try it. I love to hear the comments that people felt like it took them back to the 90s. In my mind that is a big success for my first game. beatscribe.itch.io/gbbbs95

Inspector Waffles Early Days was released on consoles last week, and it's probably the right time to say it:

It's my favorite game that I've made. ☺️

I know the Game Boy aesthetics isn't for everyone, but I promise you, it's a enjoyable detective game with some fun puzzles.

Was there a commercial for it where the parent looked like some brain-damaged version of Steve Urkel getting hit by it? And then the kid morphed into a cartoon and flew away? Man the 90s were insane.
