More Belle Boomerang posts will be coming soon!
In the meantime, check out my first ever #GameJam entry! It's a silly and cute little shoot 'em up!

(It's a Jam game, so expect a few bugs!)
Next up
I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!
Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!
If things get tough, there's no need to start from the beginning!
Working on some more enemy actions for my indie game.
Snails and other Insectiles with shells can now "take cover" which shields a portion of their body.
This is like the Tetris equivalent of a defense buff!
I'm on Bluesky now! 
If that's your thing and you want to help me support Insectile, you can find me at: @narwhalnut 
.bsky.social or, use the link on my page :)
Let me show you my favorite Insectile: the Locksnail! 
In place of doors and keys in a traditional Zelda-like, Locksnails will be scattered around the world. They act as mini-bosses closing off certain areas!
Insectile has these occasional rooms that break from typical RPG level design and are almost more 3D Mario-esc. They are almost always completely optional, but I think they'll make for excellent variety!
I've been hard at work on level design sketches the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll post some soon so you all can peek at my process! Stay tuned :)
It's been a while, but here's another "Before and After"! This time, it's for The Phantom's Library! How do you feel about the changes made? Also, don't forget that Belle Boomerang is 50% off for just a couple more days!
Unlike any indie game I've done before, I have this goal with Insectile that the maps should feel "cute" even when zoomed out. At some point, I'd love to do a time lapse of me building one of these rooms :)
