I’m the winner🥇Super stoked! #BuildItWithPhaser challenge by @phaser_ Studio in #GamedevJS Jam 2024! I have tried several game engines, but Phaser is by far the best.

Grow money-making flowers 🌸🌺🌼 (Sadly they only work in-game) #gamedev

@SlideWarz24 It’s an idle progression game. You load the canon with fragments to shoot monsters for material. Sell the material, or use it to create an army of friendly monsters that will fight various bosses. Upgrade your character and unlock new stuff

@ReitGames What's this game about?

Your character can now wear hats. Still not enough hats 🎩🧢🎓 What kind of hat would you want to wear? #gamedev

Don’t want to manage sales? Hire a worker to sell your slime materials automatically. Look how happy he is working for you. #gamedev

A indie web game that's not on itch io, is it truly a web game? Just shipped my project on itch io and made a little gameplay video 🚀 I wanted to do it like in 30mn, it took 2 hours 😅

Swing Shot is live on YouTube Playables! ▶ Play now : youtube.com/playables/Ugkx… Swing through tight levels and test your rope‑physics skills in this intense, fast‑paced platformer. Collect every coin, beat tricky timing challenges. Think you’ve got what it takes?

Ghosts are afraid of water monsters!👻💧 Turn slime material into an army of slime monsters and defeat the scary ghost for epic rewards! (They're just hugging for now, but that's about to change.) #sologamedev #idlegame #SlimeArmy

You can now sell "slime material" to the shop keeper for coin🪙 Animations are simple, yet effective. Rotation and scaling are mostly what you need to make a character feel more lively #gamedev #Spine2D

@nihdao Looks cozy indeed. It's easy to get carried away, and it's good to take a step back, look at the bigger picture and get back on track. Good luck!

Building my gamified habit tracker taught me that gamification can kill the habits you want to build. I killed features because they turned the gamified app into a game actually. Now it looks cozy. Less dopamine, more minified, focused on habit building.

Though a bit rough, the core game loop is (almost) complete. 1. Gather element-ammo 2. Feed the canon 3. Blast slimes for profit 4. Upgrade stuff 5. Rinse and repeat #sologamedev

@BarrierXI I like the colored one

Do you like the black void or the colored background? #gamedev

@nihdao Thanks. Yes, looks like the target is a bit low. The cannon will target enemies, and will try to adjust the turret more to the center of the target. It’s still very rough, haha.

@ReitGames You art direction is so great as usual John! On the side it seems that the canon is a bit low? The target is under the sprite of the character?

This example shows a turret animated with #Spine2D that dynamically rotates to follow the player, creating a 3D-like effect. (WIP) #sologamedev

@nihdao @Poki Thanks for the feedback! I don’t have much data of exactly where players drop off, but most players quit before 1 minute. I’ll try to adjust the difficulty and create worlds. I’ll also add some analytics to know where most people quit.

The game is so juicy! I love the music and sound effects too! Do you know how many levels people are doing? Maybe remove the easiest ones, paradoxically, it can be less repetitive, and users can reach the last level without dropping off. If you want more levels, create "biomes" (or worlds): 20 in world 1 and 20 in world 2.

Calling all game devs and gamers. I need your help! My game, Swing Shot, is 20 seconds short of @Poki's average session requirement. What can I improve? Play it here: swingshot.reitgames.com

@nihdao Thanks! Looks like it could be a cute Vampire Survivor-like game indeed, but I'm working towards a cosy idle progression game. The main character must collect ammo to load towers that can shoot other cute monsters.

@ReitGames This is so cute! Is this... a future Vampire Survivor-like game :D ?

We can move around now. I like how it turned out. #sologamedev

Created a cute and squishy jump animation with #spine2d
