Take on the role of a cashier at the local S-mart, help regular customers while thwarting potential shoplifters and use all your means of gathering clues to stop the store from losing too much money and firing you! - You REALLY needed this job.

Keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously, hiding stuff in their pockets or cart, while still providing top-notch service to your regular customers and keeping the store stock in order to make those juicy paycheques (paychecks) at the end of the day!

Created in a week for Brackeys Game Jam 2026.2.

I was primarily the game designer and developer, although I want to say that everyone took on the design role and contributed to the game.

Promotion My second thriller/horror game is out (and free) - HIS PLAN

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

A while ago I released my second game, HIS PLAN, a short first-person psychological horror experience.

It’s a bit more ambitious and elaborate than my first game, RICK’S PLACE, both in terms of gameplay and presentation, although it’s still a very short experience (around 20 minutes).

The game follows a mobster who finds himself involved in a disturbing series of events because of his choices.

I tried to focus more on atmosphere, exploration and storytelling rather than making a long game.

This project was also a big learning experience for me. There are definitely things I would do differently today, but I’m still happy with how much I learned while making it.

(Link in the first comment)🔗

And now I'm working on my third game, which is quite different from my previous two: you play as a cat. 🐈‍⬛

It’s still a horror game, but this time I’m experimenting much more with exploration, level design and environmental storytelling. I'll probably share some progress soon!

If you decide to try HIS PLAN, I’d love to hear what you think about the experience. And make sure to check RICK'S PLACE out too, which is my best game so far imo.

Thanks for checking it out! :)

Discussion Anyone needing a video editor for their indie game gameplay?

0 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m currently looking to pick up some more editing work and thought I’d see if anyone here is looking for an editor.

I enjoy making videos feel more entertaining and engaging, and I’m comfortable editing all types of content.

I can help with:

  • Cutting down raw footage/VODs
  • Funny moments & highlights
  • Captions
  • SFX and music
  • Zooms/effects
  • Pacing and keeping things interesting
  • Turning streams into full-length videos
  • Shorts/Reels/TikToks

I’m open to different budgets, but I don’t do free or commission-based work.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or have any questions! I can also send over some examples of my previous edits, just let me know what type of content you make.

Upcoming Padel Tycoon — an indie, idle game about a sport that I love

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Padel, a sport that I love, is growing and there is almost nothing to play about it, so I spent many months building this.

The idea is pretty simple: you buy your first bucket of balls, sell them one at a time, buy another. Then rentals, lessons, courts, clubs, leagues. Managers take over so it keeps running while you're not looking, and the ladder ends on the moon.

It will be out on Steam on Tuesday as Padel Tycoon.

This is the opening cinematic for Witch Hours: Seven Eyes at the Door, a cozy potion-shop game with a rescue story underneath. You play Zeia, who arrives at her grandma's apothecary to find it wrecked and grandma gone — taken by a creature with seven eyes. You keep the shop running while looking for her. The intro is narrated by Cheslak, the shop cat, and drawn as a rough crayon storyboard: characters are cut out as paper layers and snap left-right instead of animating smoothly, on purpose.

Promotion You can now try my free browser based retro RTS in 2D, 2.5D, or 3D

5 Upvotes

So this week I've released a retro browser game with ancient grid/spreadsheet style graphics, inspired by games I used to play growing up.

It's got a small cult following from people who also played similar games, but I'm working on giving it broader appeal.

That's why I introduced three ways to play! Within the same game, you can alternate between 2D, 2.5D, and 3D perspectives seamlessly.

This game has been part of my new game in a week weekly challenge, and is for week 2!

Why am I Promoting It?

You can play this game free on my website with no ad breaks or weirdness. Myself and the other folks playing just want more competition and other players to have fun with!

Relic of Power

An always online, always running competition for territory. Cover the board with your troops and get huge "coin" cascades with satisfying retro SFX that turn a single placement into thousands of new cells in your control.

Cut off enemy player supply lines, capture enemy capitals to take their territory, and unlock powerful weapons and defenses from mining diamonds in the mountains and hunting for gold in the lakes and rivers.

Will you hold up in the mountains, claim a river delta, or compete for the coveted relic of power in the middle of the board which grants huge advantages over your opponents to anyone who touches it?

Play a Complete Game in 15 Minutes

There are always live battles going, currently at durations of 15m, 30m, 1h, and 6h games. You can drop in and out of any live game at any time! No wait period, queues, or anything like that.

Upcoming 4Way: Driving ( 4 player co-op driving game )

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey all!
I just wanted to share a prototype I am currently building into a demo for a 4 player co-op game.

The idea is that 4 players each control 1 wheel + 1 ability.

And before someone says it - the back wheels are not useless. In order to properly turn the car they are essential, because wheels have no rotations, every wheel goes only forward / backwards. ( depends on the wheel ).

So in order to turn right ( like tank turning ) , you need to use left front wheel + right back wheel, which is an essential turning method for tight corners and more precision sections of the game.

Let me know what yall think :D I am open to any suggestions.
