    Today is the day! My BZZZT game is celebrating its first birthday!!! And it was a pretty hectic year. I released 3 free content updates with 24 new stages, 10 secret areas, and a new difficulty mode. The game was also localized into 11 languages and finally released on Switch. Happy Birthday!

    Recently a game developer by the name of Ko.Dll has been receiving flack for not supporting Chinese in their latest title: Bzzzt! More specifically, the game is getting review bombed for the game not supporting the Chinese language. This is a pretty bad precedent to set for indies. #gamedev

    I feel like this game gets overlooked a bit because of its focus on speedrunning. BZZZT is an incredible platformer with tight level design and great character control. It's short, but you’ll keep coming back to improve your runs #indiegame #indiedev

    I'm thinking the only way to get officials testifying in front of Congressional committees to take their own words seriously is to put a game show counter on the table in front of them, and when they lie, BZZZT! 1! rolls up. They equivocate or evade, BZZT! .5! rolls up. So everyone can keep score.

    Game 12 is BZZZT. Another one from the backlog. Very challenging, but quick precision platformer where I finished the main story in about 2.5 hours. Accessible though because of difficulty modifiers for those who want them. A lot of replayability too for platforming freaks who need a challenge! 😅
