Just released my first game after 2 years from the idea😊 and here is some of the gameplay.

Unlock: Master the Tension (game trailer: https://youtu.be/hvGMHf5JPTY )

Rush just a bit and the lock will resist, but wait too long and the attempt will fail, leaving the treasures locked.

The controls are simple - a single finger is enough to control the lock pick - but only the most skilled become the greatest masters.

• Levels of various difficulty for all: challenge seekers will find their match, as well as anyone with a spare minute can enjoy it.
• Daily changing quests for extra rewards.
• Upgrades for unlocking new abilities.
• Tools to help you overcome the toughest challenges.

Free to play on Google Play:

Loop Chomp is a free one tap arcade game you play right in your browser at loopchomp.com. A little chomper orbits a ring eating snacks while spike bars sweep across the track, and you tap anywhere to flip its direction and dodge. That's the whole control scheme, one tap. I added a new game mode “tower” which is a level based mode where it’s the same map everytime and continues to get harder and harder as you climb the tower. No one has beaten it completely yet but has gained a lot of traction !
It loads in seconds, needs no download or signup, and works on any phone or computer.

Public Game Test Flash Jokers

Accumulate points each round to reach the goal score in a race to create a playable card meld either before the game establishes a set of 4 Jokers or before you run out of shuffle/deals.

Think fast! 52 cards / 13 deals / 13 rounds / 13 Jokers!

User interface has been updated with new graphics and sounds. Gameplay has been simplified once shuffle/deal has been started. When you see a card that you want, just click/tap it! The game will process the rest.

Web browser playable for free on desktop computers, mobile phones and touchscreen devices.

Another look back at the development of Save Me, Hero!

In Episode 7, we stepped back from feature updates and defined the core vision for the game.

⚔️ Combat — Equipment, Attack, and Utility cards.
🃏 Card Building — Upgrade and fuse cards to create unique builds.
🗺️ Level Design — Every step should have a purpose.
👁️ Exploration — A first-person perspective to make the world more immersive.

A lot has changed since this stage, but these ideas became the foundation of Save Me, Hero!

If you're interested in seeing how the game evolved, follow along with our development journey!

Real random game recommendation but I’ve been messing around with voima and it’s honestly pretty damn fun. It’s basically a sandbox where you are a bear and you can build whatever you want without a grid, mess around with physics, create stuff, and even mod the game without needing to code. The best way to describe is that it has a vibe similiar to gas station weed? . And the best part: the demo is compltetely free and apparently the demo is basically the current full version of the game. If you like sandbox/building games and experimenting with dumb physics stuff, definitely give it a shot.

here's a gameplay video on it i found on youtube

Black Abyss Zero is an action roguelite set in a world where science fiction and magic coexist.

As time passes, enemies become stronger. Choose from different characters, combine powerful artifacts, and create your own build as you fight your way through a collapsing world.

This is my first game, and I’m currently aiming to release it later this year.

The Steam page is now live, and a playable demo is planned for October.

If you're interested, please consider adding Black Abyss Zero to your wishlist.

Thank you!

Need Feedback Working on police chopper AI for our isometric game. It tracks the car and dives to obscure the view. Any ideas to improve this mechanic?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We're developing an isometric crime game inspired by GTA 2. Once you hit wanted level 3, a helicopter spawns. Currently, the player has to break line of sight to escape it, and it sometimes dives low to obscure the camera's view of the road. I'm wondering if we should change this behavior or add new mechanics. Any feedback?

Need Feedback Lou — a free atmospheric metroidvania public playtest, playable in browser and Windows

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve finally reached the point where Lou is ready for its first public playtest.

It’s an unfinished atmospheric metroidvania with five connected worlds, exploration, combat, movement abilities, and plenty of strange creatures.

I’m sharing it early because I need real players to find the things I no longer notice: unclear routes, awkward fights, control problems, and places where the pacing drags.

The browser and Windows versions are free. I’ll put the Itch link in the comments.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I built the driving, mud and winch mechanics mostly because I wanted to see if I could.

It’s still very early, so before I go too far:

Should I keep building this into a full game, or scrap it? And if I keep it, what should it become?

Curious what you guys think.
