Stretchmancer devlog incoming! We've written a big post all about the adorably incompetent SQUISHTROOPERS that you'll be fighting throughout the game. We're gonna write this regularly throughout the games development, so what else do you wanna see us devlog about? 👀 Link below:
I've been messing around with pseudo-3D full screen effects. Always be chasing the juice!
Testing out some new tech for our 🫷STRETCH🫸 effect. Turns the whole scene into a cloth simulation? Better version incoming! #indiedev
The official #UFO50 companion has rekindled a fire! Gives enough to break into some of the games I initially bounced off. Lovely lovely!

Fav games of 2025: 1. Öoo - Expertly crafted moments of genius 2. Absolum - Inventing new combos each run!? The best bit of fighting games! 3. Blue Prince - What a fresh game loop! 4. Ball x Pit - Juice the game 5. Baby Steps - Had a real moment discovering swimming
Did you know? Stretchmancer started as a free game jam prototype! To celebrate our publishing announcement, we just updated that prototype with some QOL fixes and a new SPEEDRUN TIMER 🔥 Link below ⬇️
Making games is the ultimate video game. But that aside: - Rivals has been a good brainless online bash with friends - 30 hours in Liftoff taught me to pilot acrobatic drones in RL (without too many crashes!) - You should check out Stretchmancer, I've heard it's real good
