(Don't) Save the Princess!

IndieGames: Freeware Game Pick


(Don’t) Save The Princess reminds me a lot of one of my favourite childhood games Chu Chu Rocket, and that’s definitely not a bad thing.

You’ve captured the princess and now the knight must be thwarted in his attempt to save her. This, of course, involves placing arrow blocks all over the screen in an attempt to fling him around, eventually landing in the jaws of your pet monster. When the knight touches the force coming from a placed block, he will speed off in that direction. Stringing together the right path is the key.

The knight will also smash through any arrow block which he has already used before - another idea used by Chu Chu Rocket. While the game begins rather strangely, it does become quite compelling to play. It never really gets difficult and can be whizzed through in a good half an hour, but it’s worth a play.

There’s also a level editor with the option to save your puzzles for other players to have a crack at. Grab a piece of the knight-flinging action over on Alexander Shen’s site.

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Fan art for Foolish I'm feeling kinda better so I drew this

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Have a good Boi

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
