I'm Cliff Coffee, and I make games. I'm an indie developer working on Cosmic Destroyer. I've made 6 small games, lots of mods and love game jams. I enjoy almost anything related to gaming, art, D&D, sci-fi, and fantasy.

New Railgun is super cool! Limited weapon goes through walls, cancels bullets, utterly destroys + Sounds cool too!

I couldn't help myself but make that face when I died to a popcorn. Enjoy grumpy face lol! 😅

☝️Reminder Early Access is Thursday! 🎉

What's he building in there? A Portal to the unknown!

Created a bunch of Portal and Wormhole distortion VFX today, custom screen-space trails for parallax stars, noise-based nebula cloud shaders, and a lever to kick it all off! (WIP)

My game's demo was launched on Armor Games this morning!
🥳🎉

Pretty excited and there's a lot of feedback coming in.

I used to play a lot of games on Armor Games years ago, so it feels pretty cool to have something hosted there!

White glove service!

Coffee Maker Games @coffeemakergames.bsky.social · 9d

Great thanks! Been wanting to make a section like this for a long time

Coffee Maker Games @coffeemakergames.bsky.social · 9d

Where the demo ends, the true game begins...

Flying into the depths of the alien. Now with 100% more creepy pulsing blobs, eggs that spawn hungry larvae, bones and more tentacles.

Then we check out the lab, where bad stuff always happens!

Right!? I've been waiting and planning how I was going to do my "fly inside the alien body" stage. Lot of sprites to make.

Alien mega-fauna interior bit of a cross-over between horrors from another galaxy. In the end isn't it always the lab's fault this happens!? 😅. Heavily inspired by stained slides I've seen from family that works in a lab..

Coffee Maker Games @coffeemakergames.bsky.social · 12d

Well, I hope you weren't eating anything too yummy. 🤢

A tease of the new alien interior segment. Ewww! Many lives and perhaps a few lunches will be lost here.

Still WIP of course, but its coming together. Adding more bones, teeth, and creepy-crawlies.

More juicy weapon effects - a sneak peek at L2-B's new focus fire.

"No reason a 4 color, 4 frame, low-res VFX can't look really awesome" - yep it's #pixelart !

Extra lasers reflected out of the main beam based on hit angle.

If you like Birdcage (it's awesome!) you might like my Shmup. You can grab enemies and objects with a grappling hook and throw them. All handmade pixel art by me (no AI).

Support indie devs! ☺️

Looks amazing, the pixel art is really beautiful!

Coffee Maker Games @coffeemakergames.bsky.social · 17d

Think shooting is the best method? Not quite! A thrown object can be devastating, especially one that bounces!

More dynamic objects coming soon to Cosmic Destroyer - Grab 'em with your Grappling Hook and chuck them at hard to reach enemies!

🪝🥏💥
