This was a really wonderful, insightful watch. EGM played a huge role in my childhood and certainly had a lasting lifetime impact on me given my own career path. Wild stuff.

@ivyroadgames.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with Wanderstop and it quickly became one of our favorites of this year and all years.

It just launched, I don’t see anyone talking about it, and it has only a handful of Steam reviews so I gotta say: Sektori absolutely rocks.
From an ex-Housemarque dev and if you love Resogun, Geometry Wars, etc. you need it in your life.

Been playing Morsels!
Really cool top-down roguelite that goes HARD in the direction of visual/mechanical obfuscation.
I had no idea what my lil guys did, how their attacks worked, what did/didn't hurt me, what I was supposed to be doing, etc
A rare kind of discovery at play that doesn't handhold

#Morsels just came out on Steam. The (Dutch) review for this bizarre twinstick shooter is out now on the website I write for. The game, published by @annapurna.com is weird, colorful, and I absolutely loved my time in it.
It reminded me of Nuclear Throne, but even more strange and eccentric.

#Morsels zijn kleine stukjes voedsel. Maar dit is ook een vreemde naam voor een nog vreemder spel. Peter kruipt in de huid van een piepklein muisje dat besluit om de huidige machtsbalans in een bizarre wereld nog verder overhoop te gooien. Als dat maar goed gaat.
Morsels ziet ze soms vliegen, maar wat hebben we het naar ons zin - RetroReady
Morsels is een unieke roguelike waarin je als muis in het riool wisselt tussen bizarre monstertjes om te kunnen overleven.
