Feed IT Souls: DOME Edition by Gumpy Function A Remake of the 2023 Jam Version

@GumpyFunction who co-created Unearthed with me, has released a new and improved version of his game Feed It Souls!

The original version was the 2nd place finalist in GB Compo 23 so I know this will be great.

My favorite game from #gbcompo25 has to be OrmBlok by @jeltron.bsky.social and @technofantasy.bsky.social. What a fantastic spin on a classic game!

Thanks so much! I am really glad you liked it. And there's not a different ending but there is a reward for getting par on all the levels.

I just beat Unearthed for Gameboy Color and loved every second of it. The puzzles are smart and very satisfying to solve. The story and the bleak, oppressive atmosphere are brilliant. Game is beautiful.
Simply one of the best games of the GBC.
Thanks @jeltron.bsky.social & Gumpy Function.

and also @technofantasy.bsky.social was co-creator!

Thanks for adding us to the shortlist!

A minor update to my #Playdate game "Sound Mind" that's still hugely satisfying: I finally replaced the placeholder animations for the bookcases.

Keen-eyed viewers will notice that the secret passages create a space that doesn't make sense, but that's okay because the game doesn't make sense.

"Recent" Collector Update: This was a release I was waiting for: Unearthed by @jeltron.bsky.social via @limitedrungames.com - a great concept, as I said already back during GB Compo 2021 😁

A sci-fi mining mech with a construction worker inside on a rocky planet. The construction worker looks out at the horizon and sees Earth in the distance. There is a sale banner on the image that says 'Anniversary sale, 33% off' and a cartoon cat saying 'dig in!'

To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of Unearthed, we are doing a sale until the end of August!
