🎮 20 games that greatly influenced me.

17/20 - Pony Island (2016)

Everybody loves Inscryption, but did you play Pony Island? It is pure, unbridled wtf. Hilarious, creepy, full of surprises, looks and feels great. There's a sequel coming soon!

16/20 - Undertale (2015)

Toby Fox shows us that the weird and unexpected can be very compelling. He takes familiar systems and twists and perverts them into something unique and delightful.

15/20 - The Stanley Parable (2013)

The unreliable narrator is such a brilliant storytelling device. It gives you this deeply satisfying sense of agency when you can refuse to do what the game asks you to do.

12/20 - Pizza Tycoon (1994)

Business sim during the golden age of the sim, but which stands out because of its delightful pizza designer feature. So tactile! Fantastic UX.

Working on some tooltips. Actual art assets here are just placeholders, but that criminally Balatro-inspired text effect is probably going in the game.

Built these using custom BBCode tags in 🎮 Godot 4.4
