Best Platformer HOLDING IT 🥛💫by @brlka.com @paellagenius.bsky.social

An uncommonly well designed platformer about a TINY BABY who drank too much milk. Feels great to play and full of visual flair, they definitely have the secret to what makes 'jump feel good'

HOLDING IT 🥛by @brlka.com @paellagenius.bsky.social
a lush high-concept precision platformer, where you play a tiny baby meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time. Funny, pretty, well designed, perfect itch game

Free / hours (its hard)

10+5 is the best time control imo. enough pressure to keep a brisk clip but you can deliberate when you feel its worth it

wow!!! pretty sure this is the new WR, congrats ✨

this is also why i'm anti-design document... it's kind of like writing up a list of all the extracurricular activities your unborn child will take lol. it's fine to have a one-page outline to give you a little structure but anything past that and you're just procrastinating

game design youtube essays always insinuate devs should or do create w/ deliberate intent but your work will have more capacity for wonder and discovery if you play around & experiment & are in conversation with your game as it emerges rather than rigidly dictating it. the process is symbiotic!
