Of course. It’s Friday afternoon. Everyone is generating cartoon likenesses of themselves for LinkedIn.

My bullet-hell precision platformer just reached 2500 Wishlists on Steam! 🦇
Time to celebrate! With guns and dynamites! 🔥🎉

Zero Rockhopper downloads this year, so will give it one final push. If you have the game already then a quick rating would really help get back on Apple's radar apps.apple.com/app/6504028206 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot

You can add two more days to that statistic 😎

Thanks for making me feel 1000 years old.

Tomorrow I will share what January 2026 has been like as an indie developer when I stream the business review.

How much I earned, how much I spent and what lessons I learned to be a better #GameDev / #IndieDev will be discussed.

On Jan 23, 1996 the official Java JDK 1.0 was released. Coding resources have changed a bit in 30 years #java #dev

Rockhopper App - App Store Download Rockhopper by Ronald Batty on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips, and more games like Rockhopper.

It's Penguin Awareness Day 🐧 To celebrate, Rockhopper is FREE on the #AppStore with absolutely no ads or IAPs #GameDev #IndieDev

Demo looks amazing 🤩 I appreciate it's WIP but have you tried flipping the star in the logo so it looks like the letter A?

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that's all I need to know about you.”

A couple of downloads and a rating. Doesn't sound like much but seeing some blue on App Analytics gives me a boost 😍 #IndieDev

You arrrrrrr?

40 years ago on Christmas day both my #C64 and the #VIC-20 I sold to pay for it stopped working. Took until February before they were repaired and I could play my new games.

P-P-Pick up a Penguin 🐧 Still free on the App Store. No ads, no IAPs apps.apple.com/app/6504028206 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot

Or a WiFi jamming toilet brush.

That looks ever so slightly precarious 🫣

Definitely one of the best games ever created. The simplicity of having to sacrifice a good weapon to progress your score was pure genius.

A little bit of penguin ❤️ from Saudi Arabia #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot 🐧

‎Rockhopper ‎Indie developed, super difficult, retro style game. NO ADVERTS and NO IAPs, absolutely 100% FREE. Rack up a high score on the INFINITE survival mode, or test your dexterity with 20 infuriating TIMED...

I haven't posted on here for months and nobody has noticed 😂 Anyhoo, if you have an iPhone and are looking for a free game to waste a few hours on, check out Rockhopper 🐧 apps.apple.com/app/6504028206

Yet I still never manage to check the box that disables it 🙄

No, definitely not.

Maybe tweaking my current game could be a hobby but I wouldn’t do any new games while in a full-time job. I’ve lost my love for game dev at the moment so will be good for me to take a complete break from it ☹️

Thanks for trying it out, always cheers me up to see some new downloads 😊 The mobile market is brutal, Apple (and Google) should help indie devs a lot more than they do.

Afraid not, sorry. The plan was to do the Android version when I hit 1000 downloads on the App Store but haven't reached 200 after 8 months ☹️

I'll pay my Apple Developer fee for another year to give it a chance to find its audience. Here's the App Store link for anyone that's curious apps.apple.com/app/6504028206

Time to call it quits on my #IndieDev adventure. Really enjoyed learning #Godot and really happy that I released a half-decent mobile game but the lack of income is unsustainable. Good luck #GameDev folks, hope it all works out for you 🐧

We're the Millers is the greatest comedy film ever made and I will die on that hill.

That makes me feel slightly better about the haircut I just received 🫣
