Released my entry for Pizza Jam, Check for Traps. The theme was a little silly- with a choice of 15 randomly selected Oblivion quotes to use, I picked "Watch out for traps!" and made a puzzle-ish platformer where the traps are hidden.

This weekend I was at PAX West as well as SIX, a show run by the local indie dev community nearby. In no particular order, here are some games that caught my eye:

For the GMTK Game Jam, with theme "loop", I did a little shooting gallery based on the Game Boy Zelda minecart rides: https://aspeon.itch.io/bow-birds-mine-ride 

(and yeah, I'm doing the "new game announcement in lieu of monthly update" thing again, a few more thoughts on this one below the Read More)

There are all these debates about what to call genres, but the shoot-em-'up folks got it right: pick a verb about the essence of what the genre is, and append -em-'up.

For this year's Thinky Puzzle Game Jam, I made Safari Logic- a little logic puzzle about figuring out a route based on the animal sightings on that route and some notes about animal behavior. While I didn't end up building a Golden Idol-style answer checker, I definitely sort of envision it as one of the side panels in a case for that sort of game.

(This'll also serve as the June update, since it's the main thing I got done.)
