Mythmatch is really great! You'll always get me with something Greek-myth themed, but what I really like about it is that it's just so... playful? Highly interactive and rich in how it remixes the mechanics.
Great art and a fun story, too! Just dang delightful.
Do recommend!
Played a little of Mythmatch this evening, and it's fun and sweet, with some refreshingly progressive writing and depictions of the ancient world!
Huge thank you to everyone who wishlisted, bought, played, reviewed, posted, re-posted, liked, or talked about our posts surrounding the launch of 🏹Mythmatch🏹 yesterday! Every bit of interaction helps get more eyes on this very special game we've made. From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
I’ve been playing Mythmatch all morning, utterly charmed by the design & writing with lovely music by @ginaloughlin.com. Huge congrats to @oneofmoo.bsky.social & team! Go get it now, plays great on Steamdeck too! Petition for Agamoomnon plushie pls 🐮🏹
4.5 out of 5!?
"Mythmatch sets a new standard for what indie games can do. Its gameplay is fun and addicting, its writing and animations are phenomenal, and its pacing is just perfect." 😍
"the full release has only affirmed my feelings for what could be one of my favourite games of the year." 🤯
This game is so good - massive congratulations on making it to launch, Moo and team! Hugely compulsive, tight writing, and fun characters. Highly recommend it to anyone who liked Murder by Numbers and wants something compelling and cosy.
I’ll have some words in print soon but Mythmatch has been a personal highlight this year so far, a narrative-rich townbuilder with intuitive match -3 mechanics that’s quietly subversive in its depiction of Greek myth and anti-capitalist themes
Support indie devs! Go buy Mythmatch
Especially those who give back so much to the
#IndieDev community like Moo.
When was the last time you challenged the gods in an "anti-capitalist merge game"?
- so yeah, you know this is going to be something different!
Mythmatch is an absolute gem, crafted by a small team of people who are exceptionally passionate about their craft. Go get it!
Mythmatch is out now and its SO much fun. I've played like 5 hours of it and its the perfect post-work game.
Its got match 3 gameplay that is SO cute
Its got a great story that made me want to THROW my computer at the wall
Its got some lovely mini-games
Play as outcast Artemis and work alongside the mortals to repair their broken buildings and relationships. Merge the items, unite the people, make a home.

“It’s a full story-driven adventure in a bright, cheerful world filled by lovely people. It’s combat-free RPG with beautiful art, lovely writing, and an awful lot more to offer should you happen to roll credits”
Wow, what a lovely review 🤩 💖
Mythmatch just came out, and it's so completely and utterly lovely. An anti-capitalist, combat-free merger RPG made by @oneofmoo.bsky.social

Eeeeee!!! It’s out on Steam!!
This is a hopeful, joyful game about how it takes a village to raise a Goddess…it celebrates the very best of humanity - our ability to connect. I really hope you enjoy! 🏛️🏹
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
So why should you play Mythmatch? Because it has so much heart. Because some of our players enjoy the minigames so much they only do those, for dozens of hours. Because it’s so funny, and because it asks us what it means to be human, to participate in our community, to lift each other up.
I’ve been largely offline recently but I’m breaking that pattern to let you know that Mythmatch, a game I was *so* lucky to work on, comes out on Friday!
It would mean to world to me if you could check it out and tell your friends about it!!
Almost 10,000 authors have come together to publish an empty book protesting the theft of books by tech companies to train AI models.
Titled Don’t Steal This Book, it is empty of text except the names of the authors involved.. 🧵
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Shout to all the games we played and the ones we didn't get to! Check out the full list

MYTHMATCH combines match-3 merge gameplay with RPG questing and character building and is somehow both sweetly cute and deviously brainteasingly evil - going from "ahhh I like helping these mortals with their mortal tasks" to "the gods are here to make me suffer for my hubris".
Thank you! @larabarbier.bsky.social did such amazing work with the writing!
Thank you! 🥰 It was a genuine team effort between us Moo, and so enjoyable as well!
Theatre, ballet, opera, they’re the industries of the future as they cannot be automated or replaced by AI. They will survive the way physical books have. They’re not the dying arts people have stopped caring about Timmy. You’ve confused your own popularity with your medium’s success.
Sickening. This is a betrayal of every screenwriter, playwright, poet and novelist in the UK. We’ve had copyright laws since around 1710 and they intend to upend all of that to help feed billionaire tech companies. 😡
