@Norgg One of the achievements is definitely dishonest.

2025-04-21

The final (honest) feature of Upfall is almost complete! All the characters have gotten a little bit more acrobatic and unlocked a new skill... Cheeky wall-sliding and wall-jumping anyone?

#Upfall #IndieDev #IndieGame #Free

A pixel art style screenshot from Upfall - in the centre of a black screen there is a glowing orange square outline. Inside there is a stone background texture in dark blue. On top of that there are four bubbles apparently floating to the top of the screen, two stalactites pointing downwards and three stone blocks. On the right hand side of one of them an amphibian-like humanoid is pressed up against it as if he is sliding down it and ready to wall jump!

I'm so excited to announce a side project! Shares/wishlists appreciated ๐Ÿงก

Upfall is a game about bouncing, dodging, and dying. Burst bubbles to progress upwards, but be careful to dodge the hazards in the depths ๐Ÿ”Š

A totally free game coming very soon: store.steampowered.com/app/357

The world isn't great right now for a lot of people so we wanted to give back with a fun little game. Also it feels great to work on something smaller again! Each fall will take 2-10 minutes so you can play between other things

@gkrnours Weather is already designed as layered segments like that! Just not cut it yet, as I want to get a single digit working first, as there is a bunch more stuff that needs testing/fitting before I do the whole thing.

2025-02-24

@gkrnours I'm pretty sure that'd work, sure! But I like the 3D effect of having them each on their own row for now, and for when I make it into a clock later on. I have a plan for a 'weather' digit at the end too!

I want to see how it looks with a printed element to hold the panels and cut out some of the light leakage next ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

2025-02-24

I've had something bouncing around my head since watching an upir video about it.

What if 7-segment, but also edge lit transparent acyclic?

It's obvs not ready yet (it needs a 3D printed base to line everything up properly) but this early bodge looks *very promising* indeed... ๐Ÿคฉ

It's time for the Amicable Animal Annual Shutdown! Or perhaps more accurately I should say I'm putting myself into sleep mode to hibernate for the rest of December?

Either way, I hope you all have a lovely break if you get one, and please enjoy this silly festive secret:
