Robin sent me an early copy of "The Incident At Galley House". It's a fantastic deduction game, which gets better the deeper you go. It hooked me hard, and ended up delaying my work a few days whoops I recommend! store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/...

Robin Ward@eviltrout.com · 3w agoThe game is out NOW! Go play it, and please consider giving us a steam review if you like it. It's the best way for the game to get visibility.
If you haven’t given this a try, it’s really interesting.
Alan Hazelden@alanhazelden.bsky.social · 4w agoReminder that I made this neat jam game a couple of weeks ago! with @leslo.bsky.social @bnhw.bsky.social @patattiemurray.bsky.social draknek.itch.io/all-the-gold... It's on the challenging end, but I think worth the time.
Sometimes you have to cut things you love, because they just don't work. This one would have required a lot of cleanup, but the idea was to make a restaurant kids menu that you would draw on. It was difficult to differentiate between drawing on the maze and dragging it around, so I had to cut it.
This cut puzzle was sort of like "Climb" from 20 Small Mazes, but based around optical illusions. For each puzzle in my games, I write down both what's "fun" about it and what you have to "figure out" I liked it, but there was another puzzle with the same "figure out" behind it which I liked more.
In this one, you could exit in any cardinal direction, but the goal was always to exit "east". There were 6 minipuzzles as a part of it. I wanted to make something like a "Lost Woods" maze from Zelda, but I ended up cutting this because it relied too much on outside knowledge for my comfort.
FLEB@flebpuzzles.bsky.social · 4w agoWhen I make games, I end up making a lot more content than I end up using. So I thought I would post a few puzzles that didn't make it into "20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes". This one didn't make the cut, because I wasn't feeling it. You drag the rules into the slots.

Recently I've been solving "Zoo", which is a great spreadsheet-based puzzlehunt by noneuclidean and a bunch of others (see the bottom of the answer checker for credits). I recommend! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Here's a clueless Masyu. Every "?" is a black or white circle, but you need to figure out which one is which. You can solve it online here: gmpuzzles.com/penpa-edit/#...
I teach math part time, and just finished entering the final tests. I’m free! One of my students gave me this cool keychain of the “Touch Grass” puzzle (the solution is on the other side)

You know what I want to make? I may seem strange to you, but it is games. It seems strange to everyone else.
This looks really neat. A new game by the designer behind "System Syzygy"! If you haven't played "System Syzygy", it's a free game, and a spiritual sequel to "System's Twilight" by Andrew Plotkin, which is a spiritual sequel to "The Fool's Errand" by Cliff Johnson. It's old school and great.
