Restaurants are trying to cook you. You must escape uncooked. Tilt & roll your way to freedom!

First trailer for Foodgitives.
How can food escape being cooked when they have no legs?? ☠️
In this couch co-op game you'll need to rely on each other to avoid the chopping block — or don't, there's singleplayer mode too.

Balancing game difficulty is hard. Too easy and players check out. Too hard and they rage-quit before learning from the gameplay loop.
@edwardivan_dev articulates how Foodgitives found the sweet spot. Check out his video on "hacking player retention". Link below.

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s level design is brilliant! ✏️
I just made a quick video breaking down how Metroidvania design influences level design—and how one of the game’s early quests teaches players to master a new ability through smart, intentional design.
It’s a perfect example of how strong level design can feel exciting, rewarding, and memorable.
