Yup! HTML5 is no bueno, but the WASM (gx) build was super easy to get up and running. Still working on YYC version, though, but this'll do for now!

"How Many Dudes" is now playable in the BROWSER! It's a little game we cooked up for the GMTK jam last weekend to answer the question, "How many dudes does it take to beat up a gorilla?"

And equally importantly, "How many toddlers does it take to bring down 75 dudes?" Turns out... about 4,000.

How many dudes does it take to defeat a gorilla? THIS is the question we sought to answer with our game for the #gmtk2025 #gamedev

Play it and let me know how many toddlers your dudes can defeat bscotch.itch.io/how-many-dudes

Levelhead has been out for over five years, and our players still constantly surprise us with the incredibly detailed and creative levels they make. This is wild!

Crashlands 2 just got a MAJOR update! Update 1.2: "The Hardcore Scramble" adds new pets and base-building items, an expanded world map, and even new ways to play the game! We're most excited about the new "Scramble" Mutator, which rearranges tons of stuff so each playthrough is unique. Check it out!

I've been playing @bscotch.net's Crashlands 2 every evening for weeks! It's such a cheerful and engaging and constantly rewarding game to play. (And while it could have been jam-packed with IAPs, instead it simply has an old-fashioned purchase price.)

Meanwhile I'm over here thinking that Butterscotch Shenanigans is the craziest name I've heard for an indie dev.

Crashlands 2 by @bscotch.net has a ton of chill biome songs, and this one is one of my (Patrick) favs. The Husk area has some western overtones, and I wanted to pay homage to that while still keeping things a bit weird/alien.

Glad you're enjoying it! The final version of fishing didn't get in until 6 weeks before launch after we decided the prior version wasn't fun enough, so I'm very glad we tuned it up
