POV: You're playing Starcat's Star Stacker (starring @starcat-jp.bsky.social's Starcat) and you're on Starcat's last couple of lessons for teaching you how to play!

Was pretty fun working on thiiiis (and thinking up a solvable puzzle)! 💙

#Art #ArtFight #ArtFight2025 #Cat #KirbysStarStacker
A cyan and blue cat with a headband on his head, a collar on his neck, and a star on his chest floating on a warp star. He's happily holding a wand and pointing towards a puzzle game board of various tiles with stars, cracks, or one of three characters on them (fire, cat slime, and chest) stacked around. The cat's also saying "Nyan nyanya 9-nyan!", and in parentheses is the translation: "Go for a 9-chain!"

Look at this whimsical creature... -u- It's (@nopesicle.bsky.social's) sona Nope!

A black, dragon-like slime creature with a cyan scarf and striped purple popsicles for ears and a tail standing on one leg and sticking the other out while whimsically holding their hands out. They have their eyes closed and are smiling. The background consists of purple circles scattered around a gray canvas.

Here's Note and Lilea (TheGifKnight's Jolteon gal) doing some exercise together~

(Also yes, the background *is* loosely themed around Wii Fit Plus)

#Art #ArtFight #ArtFight2025 #Cat #Jolteon
A brown, blue striped cat in a black shirt & shorts and a light yellow Jolteon in a gray top and shorts happily exercising with each other on a green mat. They're both doing side lunges towards each other. The background is also reminiscent to the Strength Training background in Wii Fit Plus.

No hecking way, I won (in the non-champion leaderboard) at Really Bad Chess (Puzzmo) last night?

By one move??
Some Puzzmo screencaps, where the Yesterday's News section reads "You became a champion of Really Bad Chess", and the Highscore leaderboard for September 19th, 2025's Fewest Moves leaderboard has myself at the top with 18 moves (over zappyhour's 19 moves).

5! (7 Optional)
A screenshot of Sodabyte's original "how many Press A! thumbnails does it take to screw in a lightbulb" post, but with screenshots of "Press A" prompts from various Wii games nearby the A's in their post, with red circles over each A and a red line connecting each red circle to a "Press A" prompt. On the right is a doodle of a light bulb, with the text "5x combo! +500" underneath it.

Meeeeeep, no big coding progress yet (though I thiiink I fixed the color group clears sometimes not working), but I had fun doing some UI mockup stuffs for where I wanna take this game!

You'll be trying to clear certain colors in order to print colored pages line by line!

#FallingBlockJam
Mockup of a Tetris-esque game I'm creating for Falling Block Jam. The mockup has Pico-8 specifications and shows a tetris board on the left with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black minoes on the board, the top right shows a couple upcoming pieces, and the bottom right shows a printer printing out a design with CMYK colors while the printer has "52%" on it.

Aaaaaaand it's official! I'm a SpellTower champion nowww ^^

Now to...step up my game on the Champion leaderboard (highest score on yesterday's SpellTower was 11,344pts) ^^;
Some Puzzmo screencaps, where the Yesterday's News section reads "You became a champion of SpellTower", and the Highscore leaderboard for September 15, 2025's SpellTower has myself at the top with 5,029pts.

Yeah, I think the trickiness is a combination of having 4 colors, singles remaining on the board after lines, no gravity after clears, and colors on tetrominoes being randomly chosen. I'll try and tweak things later to make this less evil..

(Also what do you mean clears aren't fully working yet??)
Two screenshots of my Tetris-esque Falling Block Jam game: One before 2 lines are made, and one after 2 lines are made. It loosely details what pieces should be deleted after those lines are created, but something's wrong.

What if every time you cleared a line, any connected color group with 2+ tiles that intersects with the line(s) created disappears?

And that's it! No post-clear gravity either! ...My sources (just me so far) are telling me this might be *too* evil...

(Also I added sonic dropping)

Meeeeeeeep, gonna see what I can do with an idea I had for #FallingBlockJam 2025!

At the moment, I've just got some tetrominoes that you can stack up (and a temporary lack of sonic/hard dropping, hhhhhhhh). What's up with the multicolored minoes and how'll line clears work? More on that laterrrrrrr

While I was busy laughing at myself for using a Team Fortress 2 term in Field Tactics of all places, it turned out that yes, the piece that I once thought was something else, was a spy!

I was playing Field Tactics (or Japanese Military Chess, similar to Stratego) on Clubhouse Games and before I charged my nearly unbeatable Major General towards the enemy base, I looked at my nearby Cavalry unit (can defeat Spies, and Spies defeat Major Generals) and went "haha, spy check spy check"
A game of Field Tactics/Japanese Military Chess (on Clubhouse Games) in progress. The player's Major General is adjacent to what's assumed to be the opponent's Lieutenant General, and the player's Calvary unit is nearby.

Picked up CDs for the soundtracks of Tetris: The Grand Master 1-4 and R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 not too long ago! Very good tunes all around~ 💙💙

Okay meeeeep, I finally have an Art Fight 2025 infographic up! ^^

An Art Fight 2025 infographic for Team Crystals. On it is my username, my attack preferences (mostly furry (anthro/feral) peeps, as well as being open to Friendly Fire), some featured characters (Note, Lila, Stephen, Tonya, and Skye), and my profile picture. The background has a pink, cave-esque aesthetic with crystals scattered around.

Meeeeeeeeeep, 2 points away from winning a deal of Cribbage Solitaire......
A screenshot of Cribbage Solitaire at the end of a deal. On the right is some text that reads "You did not score enough points", with "Game Over" and a "Play Again" button under it. A wooden, cribbage-esque score counter on the top left is at 59 points and is 2 points away from the Finish pip. A mini notebook on the bottom left shows a histogram of the average scores others got on the played deal, "Total Wins: 0", and "Best Score: 59"

Like heck, I've already created three girl characters with glasses (Alexis, Annie, and Skye (respectively)), and there's likely going to be moooore, can't resist the pretty dynamic ;u;
A female Braixen with long ear hair and square glasses holding her hands behind her back and smiling. Her body's also a little tilted to the side. A pudgy female Floatzel with cyan circle glasses happily waving at the viewer. A female Sylveon with round glasses and 3 freckles in the shape of a triangle on both of her cheeks holding a paw behind her back and waving with the other one. She has a bow on her chest and at the top of her hair, and the colors on it and the striped ribbons coming out of it alternate between pink and blue.

A white cat with hair and a fluffy neck closes his eyes and smiles with his maw open while happily holding his arms out. He's wearing a white party hat with purple and red stripes on it, his tail is curled in the shape of an "S" behind him, and there's red, pink, and purple confetti behind him.

After remembering the existence of this mode in TGM4, I got a 12:33.00 (1 of 10) in Normal mode!

And now I have a Normal 11:57.40 (1 of 10)! :D Looking forward to playing Normal mode more to go for faster times and maaaybe it'll lead to getting further in Asuka mode!
The results screen of a completed Normal mode run in Tetris: The Grand Master 4. The time reads "11:57.40" and the rank reads "One of Ten".

Nooooooooooo, I was sorta close to beating Level 31 in Balls, Dice & Stickers... ;u;

Glad I made it this far when my previous PB was Level 22 (with a highscore of 7,450pts) though! Really got on a roll (pun intended) with the Detective and Bone dice I was able to build up!

Meeeeep, I unlocked the Shopkeep character in Redline Crooks yesterday and her ability allows her to spin a slot machine to cause a random good or bad effect to happen.

My first ever spin on her was a Jackpot! :)
A screenshot of two Steam Achievements for Redline Crooks. The first achievement reads "FOOL'S GAMBIT: Unlock the Shopkeep." and the second achievement reads "GAMBLER'S VERITY: As Shopkeep, hit the JACKPOT". Both achievements were unlocked about 1 minute away from each other.
