yall should play this, it's probably the best picross available if not on PC, than anywhere. Every QoL I can imagine, all toggleable or optional.

Also it's adorable as hell and has a neat lil home designer attached
Squeakross is currently 15% off on itch until Dec 4!

It's also Creator day today, so itch gives all the money from our sales to us!! A great way to support indie creators 🐁💛

Pre render 3d backgrounds and 2D characters look great, the inner monologues are already super funny

If you’re a fan of AA (especially the DS games) dont hesitate, this is muuuch more than just an indie version of it!

If its any reassurance, its obvious the iisu video was only mockups, and while I respect the ambition the amount of feature they wanted to do seems too good to be true, scope creep (especially in less than a year)

The silver lining is that it might motivate and inspire some people to do their own

Im like 30 min and its SO good, it has strong GBA/DS Ace Attorney vibe, but its also very unique

You can't tell its going to be great only a few minutes in
Detective Instinct is NOW AVAILABLE in all regions (on 15% launch discount for the next two weeks)!

We said we would take a break caring for rodents after our last gerbs…but we saw 2 gerbils for adoption at the local rescue shelter

Despite all our efforts we couldnt resist so here we go again! We build a few platforms with leftover wood, set up the cage, and everything is ready to welcome them!

i know its common knowledge but I always get surprised that some awards are pay-to-enter (DICE awards)

$1000 entry fees, $250 if you're indie

🐭PSA for no reason whatsoever: if you're ever talking about a trans person you knew before they became trans, their new name and pronouns retroactively get applied to back then too. it's very disrespectful to call them by their dead name, even if that's how you knew them back then

Ignore the clickbait title and thumbnail, and I swear you'll be in for a ride

The amount of twists and turns, betrayals and geopolitics is incredible!

you should be able to give a tiny slap in the face of someone if they say the word "agentic", nothing too violent more like a warning
