This is a great review, and I laughed a lot at the shoutout.

I second this! If you like the sorts of game I cover, you should probably be paying attention to what James does too! (& he has a better work ethic... four reviews in one week?!)
AndresPlays@andresplays.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you like what I do, consider giving James/Play Save Repeat a follow. Just this week, he covered D-topia, Desktop Explorer, The Mermaid Mask and Denshattack! I know he'll really appreciate the support. Follow here: @playsaverepeat.bsky.social

New review! Above the Snow is a cosy management sim where you take over the reins of a run-down alpine lodge. The aesthetic are beautiful and the gameplay enjoyable, but it launches with a significant problem. Read/watch here: 📝 indieloupe.com/above-the-snow 📽️ youtu.be/3p_ecspEUJg #indiegames

Really really (rhell-y?) enjoyed Rhell – such a unique game, excellent puzzles, excellent art, excellent silliness... It's all very creative and very smart, and makes you feel creative and smart* too! Go play it! *sometimes it makes you feel dumb but that's just as fun
