Here's a little excerpt from the trailer for my game, Speglar!
Added a new rare block that can help you get unstuck, inspired by the chain block from Lumines (but with its own unique flavor). Clip also featuring my biggest recorded combo to date.

I didn't know about the "Targ" and "Spectar" arcades until I saw Speglar compared with them in this writeup: arcadeheroes.com/2025/07/24/i...

Between the name similarities and the maze/grid shooter setup it looks like I've made an unintentional homage!
Indie Arcade Focus: Speglar - Arcade Heroes

Now with more juice and more importantly in a doom metal themed game, music! Some of the animations sync up with the beat, and a lead guitar gets added dynamically when you’re doing well. #indiedev #godot #doommetal

One of my goals for my block puzzler was to allow a very high APM for skilled players. Dialing the action delay down to almost nothing for my attract mode CPU makes me think I may have succeeded

My doom metal/ritual sacrifice themed block puzzler is slowly coming along! #indiedev #indiegame #doommetal #GodotEngine

I'm making a bunch of code I use in my games publicly available. Lots of good stuff like 2d drop shadows, pseudo 3d effects, vfx, npc vision, IK, save system, level system etc.

Great vibes at the @wonderville.nyc playtest night once again. Works so well as a mini deadline and for course correcting your game.

Definitely getting happier and happier with how my little block puzzler is turning out
