👀 Is CLTRS an art game… or just a really cute, loud, clit-powered clicker?

💅 It plays with pleasure, politics & pixels — does that count?

Tell us, art snobs & game nerds: what is an art game anyway?

Congrats
@laurelinemhc.bsky.social
and her team at UQAC on today's release of CLTRS! It turned out absolutely beautiful and fun to play (what's not to love in a game that ends with a giant clitoral orgasm in the sky??).

Check it out, free to play! store.steampowered.com/app/3509860/...

It wasn’t easy to design the level just before the climax.
Pacing, pressure, anticipation…
We made this fountain… what do you think?

🚨 Help us!
We’re at 100 wishlists… and shooting for 500!
Not for the ego (well… maybe a little 👀), but because Steam’s algorithm needs to feel some pleasure too.

CLTRS brings color and light together in ways you’ve never seen.
Abstract, bold, and beautiful—thanks to Unreal Engine 5. 😂

The game should be out in May! 🌸✨🎮
When I think about everything we’ve done — and everything that still needs to be done — I get a little dizzy 😵‍💫🌀
The good kind of dizzy. The “we’re almost there, right?!” kind 😅

This is not the final scene. Just the part where everything starts to… line up. 😌
You’re climbing. You’re close. It’s not done yet — but the view up here 🤩
What do you think is waiting just beyond the top?
I dare you to guess.

J'y parle du jeu CLTRS, mais aussi de créativité et de collaboration. 🎮

The avatar VFX has been smoothed out for a softer, more fluid movement—no more spiky edges!
We've lightened the texture to create a more harmonious look.
We're crafting a crown that resemble delicate flower petals. 🌺✨
A sneak peek video will be coming soon !
