Probably not great, but depends on the time since designed/last played.

I think I'm getting better at designing track-drawing puzzles! You can prove me wrong with the Spooky Express demo though.

New game: Make Ten Deluxe! Select numbers that add to ten, easy. Then try dozens of wild variants -- 35+ modes

These are the most surprising, challenging, or otherwise delightful modes that I've made over the past year. Enjoy!

$10 / free demo (-20% sale!)

a menu screen: pixelart lined paper with mode names and cute stickers

an active game of drop10. it seems to involve gravity

"Make Lawn", one of the modes. There are a lot of green threes littered on the board. There's an "undo" button and no timer.

The post-game summary screen for the Daily mode. "Next sticker: 300 points (they're just pretty)". Three options of modes to unlock next: Drop10(long), MakeTen(wild), and MakeHeaven(classic)

Spooky Express is announced on my birthday! But let's not go out of track.
I'm working on the level design for the game and I cannot wait for you to see the potential of the mechanics, less topological and more playful than the original Cosmic Express. Don't be scared to wishlist it!

Announcing Spooky Express!

Plan the train route for the world’s spookiest theme park! Pick up the monsters & drop them at their destinations. But be careful! Don’t let them bite the passengers or you’ll have a grave problem.

We finished what we set out to make and gosh it took a lot longer than i expected. I’ll be supporting the game for a long while but as a creative project, it’s complete. I can’t wait to share the remaining lost memories. 🙂

I have news re: a different game first, stay tuned

Thank you! The extra vowel (W -> O) was definitely helpful!

I had so much fun translating / redesigning the riddles in cryptmaster! A fun thing I found out:
the "what has teeth but cannot bite" riddle works well in spanish, but with completely different solutions, however objects with "eye" ("what has eyes and cannot see" riddle) are the same in spanish!
