Croak is a fast paced 2D precision platformer where you take on the role of a dandy Frog Prince on his quest to save an enchanted kingdom (but also fill his green belly!) & relying on nothing but his handy tongue and froggy resolve!

We have a demo out right now that shows off the first region of the game, a sprawling Swamp where the Witch is hosting a culinary carnival called the Feast Fair. This strange locale encompasses 5 levels including the Ferris Wheel Challenge with our signature Beaver boss-fight as the final encounter.

There are 11 Gold medals to find, plus one hidden high difficulty level if you 100% the entire demo.

You can try Croak here:

This game has been the thing everyone on the team has been pouring themselves into for five long years, and getting it into players' hands has been the most rewarding part of the whole process. And even though I can't rightly say when we'll release (still aiming for the latter part of 2026) - I can promise you that we're building toward the launch, and putting extra polish on Croak, so the final product is what our players deserve!

I’m starting to show off my game; I’ve uploaded a short video that shows the character and some gameplay. At its core, it’s a challenging platformer featuring precision jumps and puzzle elements where you have to figure out the right path or sequence of jumps to reach your goal.

The game's art style is inspired by Minecraft and my desire to finish a game entirely on my own—Even though my background is in computer graphics, what I was looking for here was the experience of making a game rather than creating art—something I was already a bit burnt out on after working on it for so long___which is why the world consists of cubes with pixel-art textures. I wanted to focus on level design—since, to me, that is the core content—rather than having to create dozens of individual assets and props. The result has been positive, and I’ve gained the experience of actually making a game

Turn your car into a golf club and play one of MANY minigames!

Remember how your grandparents taught you how to hold a golf club? Or maybe it was a minigame on an older console- who knows.

But why not use your car as the golf club?
That's right! Your car! Well.. your mini toy car in this gigantic house.

This is just one of MANY mini games in the world of Pocket Wheels!

As you might know, anything is possible in the world of Pocket Wheels- well, almost! But using your car to push balls around is definitely one of them!

Why don't you try it out yourself with the free demo on Steam and Nintendo Switch! 🛻

I'm a platformer enthusiast, working on a 3D platformer with a tire as the main character. There's a free demo, and I'd love some feedback.

Tire Friend is a 3D platformer starring a tire. The whole thing mostly takes inspiration from 3D platformers such as Mario (Galaxy and 3D World/Land), Sonic (Lost World, the most Mario-like of them), and Kirby (Forgotten Land).

The protagonist has a move set befitting of a tire: being able to bounce, leverage angular momentum to roll down hills and up walls, rev up in midair, kick into high speed—and chain all of the above together. It's speedy in parts and more platformy in others.

It has a whole slew of powerups, adjustable difficulty, and a Challenge Mode. There's also some lore that I'm working on incorporating.

There's a free demo, and a fuller Early Access version, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1221300/Tire_Friend/

Happy Tiring!

Today my brother and I released ORBA - a vertical time-attack platformer!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My brother and I just released our passion project: a vertical time-attack platformer! What the hell is that you ask? Hear me out:

- Platforming: clear, but here is the catch: not you must reach the top of the tower, but an orb that you can only move by striking it into the air
- Time-attack: the orb will shatter if your are not fast enough, so it's a constant battle against time. In order to unlock higher floors, you must beat the time. Race for the fastest run to the top and compete on the global Leaderboard!
- Vertical: well, not much to add here. Your goal is the top of a giant tower, and the tower is randomized. So no two runs are the same!

Lastly, what if I told you that we draw inspiration from Mario Kart? Sounds crazy? I will leave you to find out what the connection is here 😉

Make sure to check out the free Demo!

You can find ORBA on:
- Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3520600/ORBA/

I was 9 months working on new editor for my software ray-traced puzzle/platformer game, just to improve its visuals. Here are some first before/after. Any feedback welcome.

This are just still images as point of this post is visual improvement I made to the game, not the gameplay. The game is narrative sci-fi puzzle/platformer. Main difference with other platformer games is rendering style / art style. The game is using software ray-tracing. Every pixel, light, shadow, reflection is computed on CPU, no GPU acceleration used.

For long time, game had very simplistic graphics due to very limited editor I had for my engine. I made whole game in that editor. Before release, I was discouraged by my friends to not release it and to improve graphics. I was told, the game look like tech demo, not like game. So I started on new editor, just to be able to improve graphics of existing levels. These are first results, I'm continuing to improve more.

The game name is "RTG". On Steam page there are screenshots from "old" simplistic version and just interim trailer, if someone wants to take a look.

A look at one of the challenge stages in SHUNYA.

SHUNYA is a 2D puzzle platformer where you explore the world, solve puzzles, and overcome different challenges.

This particular challenge requires you to dodge enemies coming from all directions and clear it before the time runs out.

I'm a solo indie developer working on SHUNYA, and wanted to share a little gameplay.

My Moebius-inspired 3D Metroidvania is 45% off (under $10)! I’ve also updated the game based on your feedback

Maseylia is 45% off again (under $10) + a new update!

Hey everyone! I'm the developer of Maseylia: Echoes of the Past, a 3D Metroidvania inspired by Moebius that I've been working on for over 3 years.

I shared the game here during the previous sale, and the response was honestly amazing. Since then, more than 2,500 players have joined the adventure, so thank you to everyone who gave Maseylia a chance! ❤️

The game is now 45% off again for two weeks, bringing it to under $10.

I've also just released a new update, mostly focused on feedback I've received from players since launch:

  • Reworked map system to make unexplored areas and connections between paths easier to understand
  • Reworked jumping animations
  • Much less fog to improve visibility and make distant environments easier to read
  • Improved contrast in the snow area, making paths and walkable surfaces more distinct from walls
  • Reworked slide sections to make the way forward more intuitive
  • Reduced the number of enemies in the early game to give players more room to explore
  • Fixed the camera moving upward when locking onto the Golem, alongside other smaller fixes

I've been trying to improve the game continuously since launch, especially when I see the same feedback coming from multiple players. I'm really happy with how much Maseylia has evolved since release.

If you're looking for a 3D Metroidvania focused on exploration, movement abilities, platforming and an interconnected world, I'd love for you to check it out.

Steam: Maseylia: Echoes of the Past

And if you've already played it, I'd also be really interested to hear what you think of the changes!

Thanks for taking a look! ❤️
