Hi! I’m a Mexican game and web developer.

I make games at amano.games, currently a Pinball game :)!

I talk & write about video games at detrasdelpixel.com and run a small community of Spanish-speaking game developers with friends at indi-es.com.

I'm familiar with it but also I'm Mexican, I do think that it's getting more popular recently, also learned recently that's a Peruvian dish!

Developer of Season two title CatchaDiablos, AFK Mario, talks about breaking barriers on the Playdate:

"It’s more like how buying and playing games used to be back in the days of the Game Boy or Super Nintendo, and that really appealed to me."

A new version of CatchaDiablos is out!

The main highlight is the new Accessibility Settings page, where you can change the starting speed of the crank and your starting health.

Here it is—the final week of Season Two games. And it's a big one.

🕳️ Black Hole Havoc is a cinematic black-hole shooter.

🦾 Taria & Como is a physics-based platformer with a unique perspective on disability and resilience.

Both of them rock. Enjoy.
