We tried our hand at the @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam along with @defaultsound.bsky.social and made Anadrome.

You are a marble stuck in an infinite loop.

Reveal a liminal frontier fraught with recursive puzzles

The DEFICIT demo has been updated with some big changes!

Oversight Officers now have a little more self-preservation in mind; they will block and strafe around you during melee combat - along with a bunch more!

Even the highly-strung Oversight Officers need some caffeine-addled downtime.

Arcade cabinets deliver some seriously punchy canned brew to anyone who can beat the high score.

Tactical tower assault: because sometimes the best-laid plans still need a metric tonne of ammunition.

How many different ways can I get this security card of this guy's hip??

It's between Method 3 or 5 for me personally.

DEFICIT isn't just claustrophobic corridors: our imsim-like shooter opens up into a moonlit plateau of armoured buggies and vertical demolition.

DEFICIT is all about close-quarters, chunky melee combat. That just couldn't work without a hefty kick.
