@walaber.com I had a blast with Walaber's Trampoline when I was 13 and I'm loving Replicube 18 years later. Thanks for all the great stuff you make ❤

Gamedev is comprised of an untold number of solutions like this. Looking in isolation it’s easy to take issue and think of “better” ways to do it, but that usually misunderstands the surrounding context and constraints.

❌Proper tiling and masking for the UI sprites

✔️Convoluted ass optical illusion using a 3D camera

(Trust me, this is somehow way easier than all the other options I've tried, and more optimized too)

I've been doing weekly "gamedev improv" streams where I make a tiny warioware-like micro game based on chat suggestions using our micro-game making "engine". Tonight I made this in ~2.5 hrs:

Cartridge Cleaner (toyful_official)

Playable in browser!

Discovered something fun: If you combine cylindrical gravity with gaining speed from bunny hopping, you can literally go into orbit!

Wishlist KOOK if you think this looks fun! store.steampowered.com/app/2329690/...

Yeah! We had a custom animation system and we had to try really hard to keep the game under the 100MB App Store limit of the day 🤣

Yes of course! I was the lead designer of Where’s My Perry too, although not Where’s My Mickey, at that point I was a bit more senior in the company, but still quite involved with it.

Jelly Well made the cut 🤩

Here are 239 imaginative, daft or broken falling block games featuring laser drones, LocoRocos and playing cards

From Game Boy-style dice games through shipping crate storage sims to tabletop card games, Falling Block Jam 2025 is a neat tribute to a well-worn genre.

“Where’s My Water?” Released 14 years ago today! I was the lead designer on the game. Making it was one of the best experiences of my life.

I had a great experience using Raylib for Jelly Well, it's really cool that the web builds turn out so light weight, and it was fun to code something in C, which I hadn't touched in... 15 years or so?
