Another monkey making small indie games. I combine surreal horror with odd gameplay mechanics. A thread about my main games on Steam: https://bsky.app/profile/apehardware.bsky.social/post/3l3bn4x5nww2e Itch.io: https://apehardware.itch.io/

New devlog, this one is about the weird level.

...yes, the other levels were the normal ones.

"Until Itโ€™s Undone: Unmastered" is 72% off for the #TypingFest.

It's a small, experimental "text adventure" about a weird rural town where time itself is off.

New devlog, and most importantly, a proper trailer.

First time doing pre-rendered cutscenes for a trailer. They're pretty short but they look cool.

Sorry for late reply, I don't use social media that often.

You have to take only the items whose number doesn't match the floor they're in.

Progress is being made. I decided to post a devlog every time i finish one of the planned levels.

As you can see in the screenshots, this one is the mandatory biopunk-esque level.

Happy New Year, have this weird demo as a gift:

"Kuentame", a top-down bullet hell platformer with pre-rendered graphics, about the collapse of human communication or something like that.

Made a small thing for a Galician game jam (don't worry, it's also in English).

The theme was making a game based on a short story about someone trying to remember an odd childhood story about fishing a giant octopus.

My take on this was a quiz horror game:

It's slowly coming together. I'm aiming to have a demo ready for the Steam Fest, although the pages will probably be made public a bit before that.

I'm doing it this time. Pre-rendered everything.
The game itself is a spiritual successor to an old Gamemaker project of mine. It was a sort of top-down platformer, but it did not age very well and it glitches out on Linux.

Already email you. Sorry for the wait, I was laser-focused on starting a new project and completely forgot about checking Bluesky from time to time.

For whatever reason this sale didn't let people claim the games. I extended it a few hours and that seems to have fixed it, I guess the servers got possessed for Halloween.

Screw my dignity.

"Captain Poweryarn: The Juegazo" is now released on Itch, and 100% for the #halloween sale.

A messy Unreal game that takes mascot horror and turns it into a surreal, unrecognizable thing.

Yeah, it's finished.

I've been unsure of what to do with it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, but compared to the usual mascot horror it's an OK game.

I'm considering making it available on Itch for 1$ and discounting it 100% for the Itch Halloween Sale, just to see how it goes.

After all the issues I had with Odiumfloreo post-release, I've been thinking all of the constant gameplay switch-ups I put on my larger games aren't worth the effort.
So I made this small point-and-click thing to test out a simpler approach:

I was working with one translator for this, but it has been stuck for a few months due to life screwing shit up for the translator.

"Odiumfloreo": a physics-based sit-n-survive.
It began with the incredibly dumb idea of mixing FNaF with Enviro-bear 2000, and spiraled into a abstract body horror nightmare that takes physics-based mechanics and does all sort of weird shit with them.

Fun fact: Odiumfloreo originally was a scrapped concept for a fangame that mixed FNaF and Enviro-bear 2000 of all things.

Here's a post explaining everything I could recall about it: gamejolt.com/p/the-never-...

Forgot to post it here, but Odiumfloreo got a few upgrades before release in the form of minigames. 3 of them, 5 levels each, all centered around physics-based nonsense.

Releasing soon.

A friend is making this little game, a silly co-op golf 2D platformer. I tested it out in its early stages and it was quite funny. #Indiegame

The final decision has been made: screw Next Fest, release it earlier because it's done (Except testing. Testing is never truly done).

There's a good chance it's going to release earlier than October 31, but I'm undecided if I should wait until Next Fest 2025 is over or don't hold the game and release it on early October.
