I've asked this question within my own circle before but now I'm opening it up to everyone! Is there any game mechanic that you like for purely aesthetic reasons?

For me, it's projectiles that bounce between multiple targets.

Oh dang! It's time for the #SteamSummerSale and WaveCrash!! is on its deepest discount ever! 60% off! That means that the hypest puzzle fighting game around is only $3.99 USD! Is this because of the shame I feel from forgetting to input the discounts before the sale when live? Yes.

I made a little drawing app for the Playdate! It's called Fineliner.

jonah-srg.itch.io/fineliner

A line art drawing tool with daily art prompts. Drawing continuously on the grid is a fun limitation, and the crank-to-erase action is so satisfying.

REMORA: a trans asian fantasy game

a remora has a seemingly parasitic but truthfully symbiotic relationship to the host it latches onto

a visual novel about imagining a love as sweet as a peach blossom kiss. (and as bitter as fairy foxglove, too.)
