Hi #pitchyagame!
Excited to announce my new game - Sweep Strike! 💣🪏🗡️

A cartoony roguelike RPG where battles are fought on Minesweeper grids - Uncover moves, avoid mines and build your inventory with a strategy!

Someone told me Exophobia was appearing in @operagxofficial.bsky.social browser and I had to check it.

Feels surreal that something I created is grouped with classic and modern masterpieces of indie games that influenced my path so much 🥹

Thanks @gamemaker.io and happy 25th anniversary! 🎉

I'm absolutely devastated 💔

Luna, the female dog from my gf family and one of the dogs you can pet in Exophobia, just passed away.
She was a lovely dog, playful and caring, who believed she was the size of a puppy, despite being a big girl.

Gone too young, already miss her 😢

Had an unforgettable time at DevGAMM Lisbon!
Saw old and new friends, attended great talks, met the legend @johnromero.bsky.social and even won the Person of the Year award by Game Dev Lisbon!
I'm thankfull for the recognition of my work and how the portuguese community is growing strong together.
