🐞 Marcus here & the bug battles in Kabuto Park are AMAZING! The tambourine arena, the card system, the push-and-hold mechanics—chef's kiss! Listen to my thoughts on this BONUS episode:

Tiny Game Mini Review

Nocturnal by Sunnyside Games (3.25hrs)

🎨 Gorgeous hand-drawn artsyle
⚔️ Fun combat and platforming - probably would have benefited from being a little more difficult
🔥 Cool mechanic where you had to keep your sword lit by fire to damage enemies and solve puzzles

Fun fact: Spilled was developed by Lente—who literally lives and works on a boat! 🚤✨ She renovated it with her mom. That is indie dedication.

Tiny Game Mini Review:

Pilgrims by @amanita-design.net

🎮 Point and click adventure game for folks who don’t typically like them. Many different solutions to puzzles

⏱️1 hr to beat and with lots of replayability

🎨Charming artsyle

Highly recommended!

Playing Arctic Eggs with @tftblpod.bsky.social. Before you rage-quit, adjust your scroll wheel sensitivity. 🎯 It changes everything. A tiny secret most players miss… until it's too late.

🎮 The cigarette timer in Arctic Eggs was the FIRST ingredient designed—and it set the tone for the entire game. No UI, just vibes and ashes. We also talk game philosophy with @tftblpod.bsky.social!
