What about a stylized skate game with philosophy and a killer soundtrack?
Yup!
Incredible game. Can't recommend enough. May not be for everybody but if you get hooked... Out 8th December. Can't wait!

Skate Story | OUT DECEMBER 8
You are a demon in the Underworld, made out of glass and pain. The Devil has given you a skateboard with a simple deal: Skate to the Moon and swallow it — and you shall be freed.

Two games today : (1/2)
#DobbelDungeon. I got attracted by the art and stayed for the gameplay.
Super cute and fun tactical RPG, with stuff, missions, skill tree.
Pretty generous demo as well.
This game needs more attention!

Today's #stream will be about #DobbelDungeon and #SkateStory.
Loved the art for DD and wanna see if the gameplay is as good, in which case we will have a gem on our hands.
And the highly anticipated Skate Story, hype is real!

Then : #Duskfade. NGL really loved this one! The art, the gameplay, everything feels good.
I'll take it is a demo and some features are missing but can't wait for the full release. This is my pick of the month.

Two different games today on stream.
First : The Signal: I have a lot of reserves on this one. The presentation and world looks intriguing and pretty nice but some core mechanics and gameplay loop need some work or redesign. There is need for some QoL features as well.

EA most likely getting worse (can’t even imagine), MS trying to kill gamepass if rumors are true (25$ GPU and no day one on other subs + ads).

My Goty cost me 40 euros and had no micro transaction or live nonsense.

You see dire times, I see time for indies to shine.

How much did you like @lizardcube.bsky.social Shinobi?
Me: Yes

#ShinobiArtOfVengeance #Masterpiece
uxerlabs.bsky.social
Just "finished" Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance. My... what a game!

12 hours and completed at 80%. 100% is reachable to everybody, new modes unlocked once completed as well.

Everything in this game is well done, from the start menu to the end game. And for 25 euros. I mean... come on!.
uxerlabs.bsky.social
I was testing a game, and they have a feature I love, when you adjust the graphics and you see it in real time. This way I can set it up once and for all and don't have to switch in game and options menu. Small things but so so good on the UX.
