    Hey Guys! Im so proud to announce that my new game Slashy Camp is available on iOS and Android

    http://onelink.to/slashycamp

    Its a ridiculous 1980s slasher movie homage + endless runner romp for a high score. I deliberately tried to make something with a super low bar of entry, but there is some strategy into exactly HOW you slaughter all those campers.

    My homie Warren Heise on the art.
    I did game design, music, sound, programming, level design.
    My other homie Alice McAlister did level design.

    If it takes off in any way I have tons of stuff Id love to do to add variety and new gameplay mechanics (frogger logs, moving traps like bees or wildlife that hunts you, Growing flames, etc) new environments, some actual animations maybe, but I had a VERY small budget to put towards it and the result is what you see :)

    huge love if you check it out - if you dig it, please leave a review! Only if you dig it tho :) I dont need those 1 stars :D Hugs!

    Hey homies, just wanted to shout out a new game Ive finished up called "Slashy Camp" -- sort of a cross between "Slayaway Camp" and "Crossy Road", where you stomp through a campground endlessly slaughtering drunken campers for a high score.

    It's super morbid, but made with love and respect for the golden age of 1980s slasher films.

    Its available on iOS and Android worldwide on March 2nd 2020, but if you have an Android device, theres a beta you can grab for free right now!

    https://www.slashycamp.com

    Hugs, sorry if this seems spammy. Just wanna share with youse guys.

    The Curse of Monkey Island
    playing this again after 20 Years, this time with my kids – and it is still a fantastic game.

    • I play the series every five years or so - give it just enough time to forget all the solutions. The theme tune to Secret of.. as a constant ohrwurmNairn

    Hey gang,

    I got an OLED Nintendo Switch for my 8 year old (first born Heir to my non existent fortune) for Christmas. I want to get him 1 game in physical form to teach him the joys of physical media as well as to NOT lose it.

    Hey homies, here's a teaser for something we've been working on:

    My role on the game is primarily sound & music direction. Working with 2 amazing synthwave artists on the music: Stilz & The Encounter.

    Grab the demo (Windows only sorry) on Steam to try it out!
