This is before I knew anything about 3D, so the levels are just 2D sprites I probably drew in Paint and then stacked and tinted to give the illusion of 3D.

I don't remember much at all, but I do remember the physics relied on some pixel-collision algorithm I found online.

Humble beginnings!

A screenshot of a simple putt-putt game with some horrendous colour choices. In fact, if you are listening to this audio description I envy you because it is a terrible day to be able-sighted.

Just unearthed this putt-putt game I made in Flash back in 2010 when I was still in high school! I haven't seen this game in 15 years but I will formally apologise for the shade of green. I'd been dabbling in Flash for a couple years and I'm sure this is the first game I actually finished.

What an amazingly incorrect suggestion! Thanks Google!

Release your game alongside Silksong - everyone who doesn't care about Hollow Knight needs something to play and your game will be the only new release

Easter egg (media) - Wikipedia

The earliest known Easter egg in software in general is one placed in the "make" command for PDP-6/PDP-10 computers sometime in October 1967–October 1968, where if the user attempts to create a file named "love" by typing "make love", the program responds "not war?" before proceeding.

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨

Thanks for your feedback! ❀️ It aligns with my thoughts too. I need to add a lot more content and flesh the systems out.
The rules system is also a bit experimental, I'd like to gather some more feedback on it.
