Haha! Was an INCREDIBLE way to finish the demo, I didn't see it coming!

The game is absolute CINEMA!

The community loved it, we're all VERY excited for the full release.

Shout out to @playwithfurcifer.bsky.social for giving us Furcifer's Fungeon! We played the demo on stream today and it was rated S-Tier by the community.

The game is full of depth and charm! Enjoyed it immensely!

Also, the power-up names are *chef's kiss*

That's great! Yeah, Rimworld was my main game for over 3 years, just hit 7k hours played and needed a break and somehow detoured into grinding indie demos and it has been a WILD RIDE.

So many amazingly talented developers, writers, and artists out there making CRAZY good stuff.

Not sure if you watched the VoD or not, but I was laughing SO HARD at the timed events. The slow motion bullets were great, the lava floors, gravity, etc.

REALLY well done, the community and I absolutely loved it.

Everyone should check it out. Happy to revisit it when it officially releases.

We also got back into #BallxPit today due to the new update and Twitch Integration. We unlocked EVERYTHING and all of the available characters in the demo.

REALLY looking forward to this releasing on October 15!

We'll be doing a FULL playthrough! CAN'T WAIT!

The #indiegame demo of the day was Don't Stop, Girlypop!

It's a fast paced movement movement shooter with some great style, mechanics and combat. Had a LOT of fun with it and the community rated it S-Tier!

Yesterday’s #IndieGame demo stream pick was Goodnight Universe by @nicedreamgames.com!

Cool idea, great execution! It feels warm and hopeful but keeps you on edge like a gut punch is coming.

The demo is 15 minutes, definitely worth checking out.

Today's BEST #indiegame demo on stream was Aether & Iron by @seismicsquirrel.bsky.social!

The art, setting, writing, story, characters, mechanical depth, AND THE ENDING OF THE DEMO!

Everything was 10/10. The community can't wait for release.

Amazing demo!

FIRST GAMEPLAY VID??? Thanks so much for playing @killadrix.bsky.social, maybe WALRUS DOG should be canon???

Killadrix @killadrix.bsky.social · 8d

Today's BEST #indiegame was EASILY Dogpile.

I was NOT ready for how wacky fun this game was, and the community LOVED IT!

My apologies to @folly.studio for this *ahem* slightly distasteful compilation, especially the bug report at the end.

But seriously, great game! Shouldn't have played this demo first thing this morning because every demo we did the rest of the day everyone just asked if we could go back to Dogpile 🤣

Streamed BALL x PIT today, and it's great.

It's a top-down bullet hell roguelike with basebuilding elements and some wild combos.

Can’t wait to dive back in when it releases!

One of my absolute FAVORITE #indiegame demos from last week was Jackal by Transhuman Design.

It's brutal, gritty and visceral, and failing in catastrophic ways is almost more entertaining than succeeding.
