Three chunky mice with very bold outlines! As they bop up and down with their 2 frame animation their body changes to express squash and stretch! One is a cook with a chef hat, one is just a pain mouse and one rock a hard hat and a wrench!
Screenshot of the jam results, where Pond Protect maanged to grab first in Fun Factor and Creativity + Theme and second place overall on the jam!
Gif showcasing the "interactive' menu! instruction for how to play are written in the area with a big handwritten POND PROTECT title in the middle. The player can move the frog and as the press the button to shoot, the game launches and the forces of the necromancer arrive. Skeleton archers and mages with the help of zombies to wall them off from you.
new idea of the typing game mocked out. Sadly out of time, so now the plan is a shoot em up game. You can see the frog now drawn on the bottom of the screen, able to shoot mosquitos at the enemy army that arrives in waves from the top!
Small little mockup of the style I'm making my Pursuing Pixels James Jam Game Gam #5 entry. All characters are drawn with wide pixel brushes, very carefree giving it a sketchy feel. A frog, a lanky skeleton, a green zombie and a skeleton with a spear wiggling back and forth to showcase the 2 frame animation they have.

A video showcasing the first few development levels of my word completion sokoban. The player has to push the letter together on the map to form the word needed! The first map is an into level, spelling S with an empty space then tart, meaning the player has to push start together to start the game. After that a PICO level, that needs an up and a right push and then a level spelling THREE where the player has to push to letters into place!
Covert art for the magazine by OK_Letterhead1848! Imitating a playroom with shelves full of games, the artists showcases cool games from this year, such as snekburd and absolute classics in the middle in the shape of the PICO-8 logo, such as yelpi, buns bunny survivor and celeste! Various other toys and game references scattered around the shelves
Secret Santa art for KBDraws! There two OCs, Denadiris and Eyebie in Christmas costumes. Denadiris on the left towering in Santa costume, without the iconic hat yet, to the right Eyebie in green-red Elf costume thinking about how Denadiris would wear it. Small hats on the tips of the crown or pierced hat the eyes poking out of it. Maybe one day we will know. The background is a mix of lavender shades mixed with eye shaped Christmas decor and snowflakes.

Result from lowerezjam on my entry, lightcrawl. Overal 34th out of 119, with creativity at 26, audio at 36, gameplay at 40 and graphics at 44th place!
Join us every day throughout the week for lowrezjam games! starting from 19:00 on most day, except today and on Saturday, when we start at 15:00 CET!
Game over scene for our upcoming lowrezjam entry, lightcrawl. A stylised game over title, followed be the distance the player ran and the enemies they defeated! After all this a little tomb with the enemy qho defeated them next to it as a sligjt nod to the current gameplay loop.
"Mobile add game" like choices added to the game. They are spawned and interacted the same way as enemies, just walk into them! They always consits of two values, one might be negative, and effect the player stats. Little anvil or heart like icons showcase weapon durability or player health changes
Now enemies showcase their weaknesses and skills! The player can play around with pickup up the right weapon for the right job! Striking with the correct type will basically render the enemy useless! Little responsive UI on the left corner, showcasing health, and when needed weapon information for the player, taking up just as much space on the screen as needed.
Screengrab from my work in progress lowrezjam entry game. A pixel art knight, jumping between a top and a bottom lane, avoiding scary looking skeleton archers and cyclopes to not take damage.
A new art joins the space theme. An active quasar in the depths of space expelling mighty beams into the vast nothingness. Be careful, activate shields and DO NOT APPROACH! Dithered dust clouds forming rings around the exploding stellar object in the middle, while the lone spaceship carefully avoids it in the shadow shadow of two lonely dead planets.
Space art cuz my recent fascination of art backgrounds for phones. A lonely spaceship cruising between a double ringed planet and one that is illuminated by a bright white/pink star behind it. Edge lighting and dithering into the background color to help sell the empty darkness as well. Some space jellyfish on the bottom right swimming out of a fluffy space cloud. Dim stars illuminating from parsecs away.
Luna the druid running around and grabbing the mushrooms. Once all are fetched, the portal tile lits up, the the player is free to proceed to the next stage, which now can be loaded as welL!
Thumbnail art for Journey Through The Nightmare Realm 2! Featuring a fiery background with the newly discovered arcade game's character, a mysterious eyeball! We will be playing this game on our stream, starting 15:00 today!

We got a new rewamped 16x16 tileset with lush trees, small bushes and a little grove with floers and moving mushrooms. As Luna, our hero slides across the grass she leaves particles behind herself to indicate movement and add juice to the game.
A dark board containing 4 differently colored splashes, red, green, blue and magenta. A shape with 4 different corners and 4 different colors on those corners is moving around, recolored by stepping on the paint blobs. RGB color mixing and cutting/merging shapes will be the goal of the game

Started learning Löve2D and made a little forest with trees, that stop the player from moving once they hit them. Movement is continuous in pressed direction until an obstacle is met. Kinda like pokemon ice puzzle games!

A voxel art version of my 2D cherry blossom branch, this time I can actually play with twisting and turning branches!
Flowering cherry blossom, with one big flower and a few smaller ones on a dark branch to enhance the contrast between the colors.
