Yeah, I've played a few puzzle games 💁

Hey! I've announced my next game and I am asking for money already so I can finish making it. :) backerkit.com/c/projects/mic…

FYI, I'm not going to use this personal profile much any more. For those following for puzzle stuff, please follow @thinky_games. Otherwise, find me elsewhere - Discord, Bluesky, email me, whatever!

Earlier this year, we ran a developer conference about the making of thinky games. It was an amazing event. Anyone interested in game design would gain so many valuable insights from these talks. #gamedev #gamedesign #thinkygames youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Uh oh, the Baba Is You dev released another free game that does absolutely horrendous things to the sokoban formula. Watch my brain break here: youtube.com/watch?v=oUJfqL…

Sickest burn in video game history.

We tried out the Echo Weaver demo from @moonlightkids_, a metroidbrainia time-loop game where time is currency and knowledge is the power - already very excited for this! Demo available on Windows and MacOS. youtube.com/watch?v=jyS3bM…

In this free 1-bit web game, all you need to do is rearrange segments of a skyscraper to match the target building on the left - but it has some tricky surprises in store! The Skyscraper Plagiarism Agency, by Dee <3. thinkygames.com/games/the-skys…

Wilmot Works It Out (@WilmotsGame) is a gentle, cozy jigsaw game about sorting through jumbled packages of puzzle pieces, assembling them into pictures, and hanging them on your wall. $14.99 for Windows and MacOS thinkygames.com/games/wilmot-w…

@jagriff333 Nope! So you have to wave your hands to the side as you're washing them.

@sftrabbit Does the sensor also work if you place your hand under the faucet?

I just did my monthly "IndieSunday" post on r/Games for Gentoo Rescue. Please upvote for visibility! reddit.com/r/Games/commen… Also, here's some late-game consequences of the hammer and spring items. #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #puzzle

Awesome to see Minecraft redstone being turned into this puzzle game by @mindlabor_dev - it's definitely a great system for interesting puzzles! Here's our VOD where we checked out the demo. youtube.com/watch?v=QJ8ZhI…

Getting ready for EGX / Comic Con!

Trans Neuronica (by Evidently Cube + @UntoldTalesHQ), a numberlink-style puzzle game about drawing non-intersecting connections between nodes, just came out of Early Access. $5.99 (40% off) for Windows. thinkygames.com/games/trans-ne…

Currently working on a mixed reality puzzle game. The working title for it is Picto. #mixedreality #gamedev #puzzlegames #thinkygames

Pup Champs (@AfterburnGames) is a sweet, but deceptively thinky tactical football game! thinkygames.com/features/pup-c…

@FamilyGamingDB Both @sftrabbit and @rachel_wattts will be there, so come say hello! We would love to chat with any thinky devs, journalists, and influencers about what we do (and get nerdy about puzzles)!

We just added Entwined Time by @Patashu0 to the database - a time-bending grid-based puzzler about two robots with independent timelines, which became available on Steam today Entwined Time is free for web, Windows, MacOS, and Linux. thinkygames.com/games/entwined…
