Making my speed running debut in Unfair Flips, I am not only the 3rd fastest coin flipper in the world, I am also officially the unluckiest gamer in the world, as this is currently the slowest speed run time.

A speed run leaderboard for Unfair Flips. Violet is last in the list with an impressive time of 38m 07s. She has a little bronze coin by her name.

A screenshot of Unfair Flips. The coin is missing, and there is a speed run timer that reads 38:11.13

What if I posted things like “new video essay coming soon to my patreon” when I do not make video essays and, critically, do not have a patreon?

Apparently someone has actually fallen asleep while playing it, and I think that’s the highest praise it can receive.

The best part about Clover’s sprites is her lights change as you move the mouse around!

A work in progress game screenshot. There’s a robot girl with colorful hair and lights. As a mouse moves the hair and lights change colors.

It was such a treat helping out with some art for Rogumon!! If you’re into semi-competitive Pokémon or Roguelikes, definitely go wishlist it!

Introducing Exile, the starting playable character in my creature-collecting roguelite game.

Exile is a ~Willful One~ with powerful abilities who grants the whole team a passive. But the run ends when they are defeated, so be careful...

Thanks to @violetfairy.bsky.social for the great art!

A screenshot from Autumn Wish. A witch girl wearing blue stands at a bulletin board and reads, “Sale at the cafe… Necromancy complaint… Noise complaint… Invitation to skeleton concert…”

A screenshot from Lost Star. Snow and northern lights cover a maze-like platforming level dotted with spikes. There is a small witch girl and a glowing black cat navigating the platforms.

A screenshot from The Woodsman & The Skunk. In silhouette against an orange background, a cutout of a woodsman faces a cutout of a skunk. Wow, what a twist. Bet you wouldn’t have guessed there’d be a woodsman or a skunk in a game with this title.
