🍋Fresh Game Feature🍋 ⭐️Astropods⭐️"You play cute and powerful characters in a big imaginative world. It's invigorating when players exclaim "What?! That's possible??" The fun comes from the discovery of advanced techniques and applying them at maximum efficiency." @cheesimoon.bsky.social
no signal🌌 "I want to make games that connect powerfully and emotionally to players and provide a new perspective. I like space and its aspects, which reinforce the themes of the story. I've gotten some nice heartfelt responses from those who have played, and I love that." 🌌@exodrifter.bsky.social
"The interactions at conventions [are rewarding]. Seeing children refuse to listen to their mothers because they're busy playing Slip n' Slime. It's amazing to see people lock in and puzzle through our cute game. We're working on Android and iOS launches!" 🩷@slipnslimegame.bsky.social
Woohoo, thanks for highlighting Astropods: Starside Glaze here! I'm afraid I've only played Slip n' Slime out of the 3 non Astropods here, but I do recommend checking that out if you like your ice block puzzles.
Our community has FOUR 🍋 Fresh Games 🍋 to celebrate from July and August! 🩷Slip n’ Slime @slipnslimegame.bsky.social 🌌no signal @exodrifter.bsky.social ⭐Astropods @cheesimoon.bsky.social 🦛Quartet @somethingclassic.bsky.social Want to learn more about our 🍋 Fresh Games 🍋? Check the comments!
