Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.

It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

Accessibility Tags on Video Game Boxes - Access-Ability
If you buy a Digital game on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam you can find out what accessibility features it supports. Could we bring those tags to physical games?

YOU CAN NOW BUTTON REMAP the Game Boy and NES app on the Switch and Switch 2 👏
In the newest update to the system we have got access to button remapping via the overlay menu when in-game ❤️
This is a huge step forward for Nintendo, and makes retro game accessible for a whole new generation!

You'll get to play version 0.9 of Otto's Basketball Game (yes, that's what I'm calling it...) tomorrow! I'm still adding a few details, but the game is close to being done. And no, there's no more to the game than what you see in the video - it's just about pressing one button and scoring points...

WIP, and just with placeholder text, but maybe something like this as the idle animation/statistics view?
Any other stats I should keep track of? Bank shots perhaps?
