Some have called 2022 the year of "microgames". In the wake of @poncle_vampire a host of ~$2 games were created mostly by solo developers or tiny #IndieDev teams in the span of a few months. Let's talk game dev experimentalism! 🧵👇 1/9

I wish reviewers praising #DiabloIV 's "game design" were actually capable of distinguishing the concept from "progression design", "compulsion design" and the likes... Kinda sad we're still stuck at "Well, if it's addictive, I guess it's good?" in so-called games criticism.

3/9 This in turn opens up #GameDesign space. "Bullet heaven" is a result of flipping a genre on its head: YOU are the bullet hell! Of course there's iteration in microgames too, but the possibility to experiment is real (e.g. @caiysware 's "What if your bullets are minions?").

The #SuperAutoPets Doberman is another example of clever #GameDesign by @TeamWoodGames . It gets a strong buff if it's you lowest tier pet, i.e. it encourages pivoting to high-tier animals sooner. This makes runs more dynamic and increases the density of interesting decisions.

Geballer by @wombatstuff , @MightyInko and @salkinitzor (the music works insanely well btw) feels like a deconstruction of the bullet hell genre. All you do is move your cursor around to collect little boxes which spawn new bullets that you wiggle your cursor through etc. Fun! :)

Hero's Hour is a modern re-imagining of Heroes of Might and Magic. It unfolds a similar "one-more-turn" core loop. The biggest difference is the real-time combat which feels a bit auto-battler-like, but allows you to cast spells to e.g. deal damage or summon supporting units.

The purest of #roguelike drafting games, Luck be a Landlord by @TrampolineTales , is out on mobile. Probably my favorite way of playing this one now. Such a great decision to support portrait orientation! 👏 Back to climbing the floors...

hi everyone. @terrybrash copied my game “dire decks” and is releasing it on steam under a different name without my permission. i have tried to get him to take the game down but he is unwilling to do so. not sure what to do in this situation…

Mosa Lina by @wombatstuff will probably be this year's king of emergent gameplay and, therefore, a strong contender for my personal game of the year. Random level, random tools, find a solution, next one. Super fun! 😍 Demo is available on Steam, full release in 8 days!

@Sosowski There's some truth to this, but if you dig deep enough there's still all the creative force from 10 years ago around or more. Just harder to find cause there's so much more stuff.

Something about my game apparently calls for alliterative video titles! This @OlexaYT one has an almost poetic ring to it. 🙏

Code Has Price is a unique fusion of programming puzzle and tile-based tactics in randomly generated layouts. You buy instructions (and find random ones on the board) to build your movement and attacks in a hopefully efficient enough manner to complete levels.

Yet more visual juice for my #PICO8 safe-cracking #roguelike puzzler. I added a little wiggle to the blocks in a row when a new one is inserted and tweaked the falling curve to feel a bit smoother. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev

Bingle Bingle is Balatro but roulette, though it easily has its own identity. You build the wheel and available balls + bets to form synergies. Simple example below: Create a pocket of 22s, get a targetable ball, go all in on 22. Usually not reliable, but here you can make it be.
