To celebrate the rerelease I'm going to post some videos from early development! This is the earliest recorded footage with just the controls / movement idea for mobile

Japanese Indie Dev / #Öoo / #ElecHead 『Öoo』 is Out Now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/oo/
Yesterday, I lost my phone at a big mall. I didn’t realize it until I got home. I rushed back to the mall and went to the help desk. Someone had already turned in my phone. I got it back. This is Japan.
The 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.
We've been very excited for this Type Help remaster, and today is the day! Check out Megan's review of The Incident at Galley House from @eviltrout.com and William Rous 👇
Before full development of Öoo, I built a prototype to test whether bombs could push each other, stack on top of one another, and interact correctly. It looks simple, but implementing these kinds of "obvious" behaviors without using a physics engine was actually much harder than it seems.

SuperSudokoid It genuinely feels like a Metroid game. ・New upgrades don't immediately tell you where to go ・The bosses are genuinely terrifying ・Tiny oddities get paid off later in the game ・In the worst case, you can brute-force things with hypothesis testing sudokupad.app/68ek598lr7
This is one of my favorite sections in the Order of the Sinking Star demo.
These days, the main game in puzzle games feels more like an appetizer.
Announcement: We're publishing the incredible Dittori by @blookerstein.bsky.social In an ancient temple deep beneath the world, master the forbidden power of DITTORI. Discover its secrets and use it to bend reality to your will. Play the demo and wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4311980/...
#dittori Without all the “this game is wild” comments, I probably would have judged it as just a really solid Sokoban puzzle game. It puts an incredible amount of trust in the player.
#minathehollower I played it in fullscreen, but I think it might actually be better on a smaller screen. The art seems heavily inspired by Game Boy-era pixel art, which was designed to be viewed on a tiny display. The anti-aliasing blends together much more naturally that way.
#minathehollower The game gets an incredible amount out of a single action: digging. Jumping, dodging, exploration, flanking enemies, fast movement, carrying objects, activating mechanisms, and more. I love games that fully commit to a single core mechanic like this.

I had a great time at BitSummit! My English still needs a lot of work, but I really enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone. Time to study more English!
I had many delightful moments of discovery in Carrot Kingdom! Loved it!! :) Definitely recommend!
Really enjoyed this PICO-8 puzzle platformer, Carrot Kingdom! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=156...
Un distributeur « Indie Freaks » au 4ème étage du Sakura Stage à Shibuya propose un sympathique pin's à l’effigie de la « bombastic » et adorable petite chenille du jeu Öoo de @namataka.bsky.social ! On peut même trouver à ses côtés un pin's Nine Sols du studio @redcandlegames.bsky.social :)
Öoo will be playable at both the GameMaker booth and the Nintendo booth at BitSummit! I’ll be wandering around on the 22nd and 23rd wearing a gorilla hoodie 🦍 Also… I actually can’t speak English very well 😭 I’m doing my best with translation apps and translated posts lol
My favorite game of the year so far might be Flip 7. It really made me realize how fun a luck-based game can be. Honestly, I could totally see it becoming a classic card game like UNO.
Öoo is now 15% off on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch!
I found someone who modded Öoo and made their own custom stages.
