[Picayune Dreams - Demo]

Text is REALLY small on the steamdeck but the little bit I played was really good!! I'll probably be playing this in bed for a while, haha.

Edit: I only managed to get past the first boss and a little into a second area before I died, but it started natively with no additional setup/fighting to get it to start. I had to set the controls (since Steam doesn't "know" the game yet) to be the default Gamepad Template in-deck. The only issue so far was a big drop in frames while it was loading the very first upgrade set, but all the ones after, and the boss trigger, were fine.

Got an almost 40 minute run, 64 powerups, 6 bosses beat, little hiccups. Runs the massive waves pretty solidly!

Stepford responds:

damnnn!! you have a steamdeck? did you get any other problems? that's awesomeee

[Gappy's Playground]

Has good game feel. Got pretty far without realizing the Space dive was different from the Down dive I was using. I'm gonna come back once my fingers are less cramped, haha. I'd love an arrow key control option (with Z/X/C or X/C/Space for air controls); I'm pretty bad with WASD.

Edit: Nice! Arrow Controls. I ended up doing that as a binding and tried it out on my steamdeck. Still can't speedrun the car stage but I think I got everything else. Looottsss of secrets on the ceilings haha.

LeviRamirez responds:

In the full game, there will be rebindable controls but for the scope of this tech demo it wasn't included. Also, there will be controller support if that's your thing too :-)

Glad you liked it! Hope you continue to play it and find more stuff! <3

[Shake Art DELUXE]

I loved the original, cool to see a color version!! I had a bug pop up where the background colors overlaid the lines and then didn't export. Sad.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862376862130765844/934921053174628352/bug.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862376862130765844/934921053438885908/petri.gif

Edit: Refreshed and it's still doing it :(
It worked the first time, now it's not.

nokoi responds:

wait thats really weird i need to check that out

[Haccer]

I agree with the others where the RNG's kind of insane, since it doesn't feel like it ever gets more "difficult", you're just digging until you get a cluster you don't have the time to clear. It's a little nuts when stuff like this happens so early, though:

I had one of these walls happen as soon as I started, too, dying at a depth of 3. LMao right after posting this I died at a depth of 1. Amazing. I think I'll settle for 4th place. :,D

AnderssonKev responds:

Totally agree, the RNG for the bombs can be a bit insane early on.

This is really neat! I love the demo puzzles

Have you made any custom levels?

[Piconjo Burger Clicker]

Ahaha I love the little animation that happens when you press the space bar. Also you're not late! His vacation lasts for 69 hours, so it's still active :3

Just-a-ng-dummy responds:

Oh I'm glad lol

Also I'm surprised you found that animation
It was meant to be a mechanic but I ultimately changed the game to a Clicker
