Absolum is, no surprise, an expertly crafted beat-em-up from Dotemu. And it comes with some very clever rogue hooks too. While I really dig what it does, it’s another new retro game that has me thinking about the natural replay drive of arcade games. My review. www.polygon.com/absolum-revi...

Absolum is an OK roguelike, but a fantastic beat-'em-up

Dotemu's latest is an inventive genre fusion, even if its retro side is stronger than its modern half

Every roll is a risk and every risk is a thrill in this crazy Camelot dice builder.

Choose dice that will bring you to victory against the baddest creatures of the realm—do you dare to roll again?

Artwork for Dicealot launch. Background is a cartoonish blue sky with a castle and dark blue rolling clouds. In the centre is Guinevere in gold armour gesturing to a dice. Text reads "Dicealot a feudal dice rolling fanfare out now!"

Absolum combines classic fantasy brawler mechanics, top-notch art and music, and a roguelite progression loop. The result is an incredibly fun cooperative adventure. Read our full review. gameinformer.com/review/absol...

Deadwire takes a tactical approach to top-down shooters by implementing some incredibly clever hacking-puzzles.

More like Hack-line Miami, right?

Exactly 1 year ago I released my normal gardening game ‘Grunn’

A big thanks to all of you who played it and supported me! I have received so many nice reactions since release.. it has far exceeded my expectations 🙏
