Hey wanna see some cool experimental clicker / idle / incremental games?

Last month for the final project in my 'economics for game designers' class at @nyugamecenter.bsky.social, students made some *incredible* incremental games, so I wanted to do a thread showing off their work!

I'm sick with Covid, so I made this, an idea I've had for MONTHS now, Street Fighter 6 with Hanna Barbera Sound effects.

Whoever decided a standing desk's controls should go HERE did not consider people who work from home and have a toddler

I'm already loving this little idler toy, Cornerpond. It fits perfectly among all the other crap on my desktop. Make my entire life into a fishing mini-game pleeeease

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

I wish I had waited for the Figma Sites & Figma Make announcement instead of hand-coding my new portfolio in HTML/CSS… 🫠 #Config2025

A very admirable attempt! There are so many lovely details in this like the smooth camera movement and hand-drawn art. Excited to play it

This game was made in 72 hours by me (art), Erica (music), and the incredible Billy Monks (programming) for #LDJam. We'd love a rating/review if you're part of the Ludum Dare community: ldjam.com/events/ludum...

It was a packed weekend but somehow I managed to make a video game??

- a baby birthday party

water your needy cinderseed so it can blossom into a thriving cinderflower!

this game rocks

Oh!! What a unique ring!! Congrats y’all

And here I was, quietly wishing for this game for the last 12 years and thinking I was the only one

This drives me crazy. Generative AI is built on the backs of artists who create meaningful art, so it can remove all meaning and also do a worse job. Go automate something else

It’s confirmed: I’m going to Config! Any other product design or UI folks going? 🙋‍♀️ #Figma #Config2025

So excited to finally play this 🙌

In general I loved the new style of gameplay paired with very true-to-form, puzzle-heavy Zelda dungeons. Stoked to go back and play some of the extra challenges at the Dojo.

Just beat Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom! Here's my review:

👍👍 Opportunities for creative problem-solving
👍👍 Huge variety of dungeon puzzles
👍 Great music + aesthetic
🫤 Clunky menu UI
👎 Boss fights are too easily won by spamming echoes

why is my ipad dead 1000% of the time i want to use it

Actually my fav thing about SS is witnessing the seeds of ideas that were perfected in Tears of the Kingdom (floating islands, crafting, musical riffs, etc)

Just beat Skyward Sword. Not my fav Zelda game but there were things I liked about it.

👍👍 Dungeon puzzles
👍 Boss fights
👍 Combat
🫤 Nice yet unmemorable music
👎 Everything is super linear
👎 Controls (even non-motion controls are bleh)
👎👎 Boring overworld traversal

does anyone know what the IP rating of the switch joy-cons is? specifically regarding baby drool

Screenshot from a comment in a Discord server, the text reads “It’s so sad hardly anyone is making good point and click adventure games anymore. The Dig, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, these are all etched into my soul.

I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵
