New game: Energy Excavation

My entry in this year's Confounding Calendar is officially out: Energy Excavation.

Screenshot of Energy Excavation- in a blocky pixel art aesthetic, a character stands on top of a cave system with ladders, batteries, and some sort of gem at the bottom.

I'm honored to have it featured both in Draknek's Thinky Third Thursday and Bart Bonte's bontegames blog. Bontegames is probably the closest vibe I've gotten to Jayisgames of yore (especially since he's been around long enough that some of his games showed up there), so it's especially cool to see it there.

Some mildly spoilery design thoughts below the jump:

New (not-very-puzzle) game: Check For Traps

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.

New Game: Bow Bird's 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)
