Had a blast taking part in my first game jam, #LOWREZJAM 2025!
My game, Caddie Cards, turned golf into a card game and ended up placing 6th overall. Really happy with how it turned out.

Seriously cool cover art! Are you planning on adding the giant zombie into the game?

Thanks Rémy! Making music has always been one of my favourite parts of gamedev so I’ve really enjoyed delving into the Pico-8 music tracker

Trying the new player movement and a quake level running on #Playdate
With only a d-pad and two buttons, it's not easy to design 3D controls that feel good, but I think I'm getting there.
I also started experimenting with jumping. I mean, Jumping Flash and Metroid Prime made it work, so why not? 😄

Looking great! Restricting the player's view was a nice addition

as a bonus, they look cool with the sonar effect too!

This seems like a really interesting mechanic!
Can the player move while their sonar is active? So players could sort of “dimension jump” through the red environment using the revealed blue environment?
