Thank you so much to everyone who played Doom Drop and Up To Go Down at #magfest, I had a great time watching you play and chatting with yall!

Once the MAGFest dust has fully settled I'll take a look at finishing up some final TODOs for the game and then if a steam/itch release might make sense. Happy to hear you liked it!

Final Doom Drop high scores at #magfest (unless someone steps it up in the next hour or two 👀).

If anyone knows who NAT, NRB and VIX are, let me know!

doom drop cabinet teaser (of a part most people will never see)

@dxtr.se 🤘

A screenshot from the MAGFest guidebook app, with the following text content: “Doom Drop is a doom metal-themed block puzzler. Match up blood offerings and find the right moment to sacrifice them to the elder gods, while thinking multiple steps ahead to set up big combos and scores. But make haste - hesitation only pushes you closer to your inevitable demise... The Doom Drop cabinet is inspired by doom metal album covers as well as classic arcade cabinets with art surrounding the screen, such as Journey and Donkey Kong. + Add to To-do”

A collage of game screenshots and album covers: Tetris, Master of Reality by Black Sabbath, Dopesmoker by Sleep, Lumines, Puyo Puyo, and Dopethrone by Electric Wizard.

If you enjoy anything featured in this image you should play Doom Drop in the indie arcade at MAGFest (in 6 days!)

Jam organized by @arcadecommons.org and @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social ✨ As part of the jam participants also built their own version of the controller, this is our shoebox version by @sadlilrobot.bsky.social

The Flip Out Jam itch.io/jam/flip-out, with games made for a custom alt controller with five toggle switches, was such a blast. Play the jam games (including my annoying elevator operator simulator Up To Go Down) at MAGFest!

Very pumped about this!

Added a new rare block that can help you get unstuck, inspired by the chain block from Lumines (but with its own unique flavor). Clip also featuring my biggest recorded combo to date.

Indie Arcade Focus: Speglar - Arcade Heroes An indie game called Speglar that started life as an arcade machine is now available for locations to purchase and add to their game rooms.

I didn't know about the "Targ" and "Spectar" arcades until I saw Speglar compared with them in this writeup: arcadeheroes.com/2025/07/24/i...

Between the name similarities and the maze/grid shooter setup it looks like I've made an unintentional homage!
