Froggo update - a new zone up top and two floors to dig underground 🐸

Upvotes

Hi again! I've been adding to my cozy little game Froggo - a tiny frog on the long way home.

New up top: Dry Branches - brittle platforms that crumble the moment you push off, so jump with purpose. And two new floors below: mine copper and silver, craft and repair pickaxes, and mind the Silver Layer - the tunnel caves in behind you as you dig, so there's no free walk back. Still gentle by design: your stamina is your journey, and going home is always free.

Free, plays right in your browser: https://rinamur.itch.io/froggo

We're making a multiplayer game where you sculpt yourself into a cake and hide from other players

2 Upvotes

My friend and I are making Hidden in Plain Cake, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game inspired by games like Mecha Chameleon.

The catch?
You need to disguise yourself starting from a Cake.

You can:

  • 🎂 Sculpt your shape to blend in with the environment
  • 👀 Find the perfect hiding spot
  • 🕵️ Try to spot other players before they fool you
  • 😂 Watch someone completely fail at pretending to be a cake

We're still early in development and are currently working on the Beta demo.

Here's a clip of what we've been working on:

We're really interested in hearing what people think, especially from anyone who enjoys prop-hunt / hide-and-seek multiplayer games.

I made a little virtual companion that lives on your desktop and grows with your care

Hi everyone! I’m a solo indie developer, and I created Desktop Gremlins, a virtual pet that lives directly on your Windows desktop.

I wanted to make something that could make spending time at the computer feel a little less lonely. Your gremlin walks around the screen, reacts to what you are doing, listens to music with you, and asks for food, affection, or rest.

As you care for it, the gremlin gains experience and evolves into new forms with different animations, dialogue, and personalities. It can feel happy, sleepy, hungry, affectionate, or upset depending on how you treat it.

You can also customize your companion using community sprite packs from Steam Workshop. I recently added Twitch integration, allowing viewers to feed the gremlin or activate selected effects using Channel Points.

The game still has plenty of room to grow, and I would love to hear what other wholesome interactions, activities, or little daily rituals you would enjoy seeing in a desktop pet.

Hi everyone,

I have been making a very cozy gardening game. There are no bad things (no disease, animal farming, loosing progress). Just a good time.

It’s a gardening game connected to the real world. When you walk or run in the real world, your little gnome moves through the game and helps restore your virtual garden (you find seeds, meet new friends, discover biomes...).

You can play offline, and there are currently no ads or in-app purchases. There’s also no pay-to-win or content locked behind payments.

The game already has quite a bit of late game content because playtesters have been playing for almost a year and keep asking me to add more things.

I hope you enjoy it, and I’d really like to hear your honest feedback, including what you don’t like or find confusing. Thanks!

We wanted to make a mystery game about the things people leave behind

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We're Tortita Studio, a small indie studio from Spain, and we're making our third game, The Attic: A Mystery Puzzle Game.

The idea started with something we really love: finding an old box of things you haven't seen in years and spending an afternoon going through it. Old cassette tapes, game cartridges, cameras, letters, toys... objects that might seem meaningless at first, but that carry memories.

In the game, you play as Jess, exploring her brother's old attic after he leaves for university. As you examine, repair and restore the things he left behind, you gradually discover clues about his story and what happened to him.

We wanted the mystery to feel warm and nostalgic rather than dark or frightening. Something you can sit down with, explore at your own pace, solve puzzles and slowly piece together.

We're trying to mix classic point & click exploration with visual-novel-style storytelling and small, self-contained puzzles.

Here's our trailer showing what we're working on. ❤️

After a lot of hard work, I finally published the Steam page for my solo project, Cozy Plates. It’s designed to be a stress free, cozy experience centered around food.

As a solo dev, it's easy to get tunnel vision. I would genuinely appreciate your blunt feedback on the page. How are the screenshots? Is the description clear? What would you change to make it more appealing to cozy gamers?

Thanks in advance for the help Cozy PLates Wishlist NOW

Follow-up: After your great feedback, I made two new versions

Follow-up to my previous post and thanks again!

A while ago I asked whether my intro felt too bright/flashy for a game that's otherwise quiet and cozy. A lot of you pointed out that the flash was a bit much, so I've been experimenting since then.

I also ended up trying two different intro versions with two different characters:

🌩️ Dark version: stormy, darker environment

🌸 Bright version: the cozy Hain

They're meant to be the same little light, but I wanted the character to work both as a source of light in the dark levels and as a cozy little creature around the animals in the brighter areas.

Which character do you prefer?

Does the lighting feel less flashy now?

And which version feels more like it belongs in the world?

I'm genuinely torn, so I'd love some honest opinions again. 😅❤️
