I’m in the works with a developer who is recreating a very faithful Andromeda-like. I would love if you could play-test it and let us know what’s good and what sucks about our current build.
Replying to @Thunderblunder7
Objectively all formars for Sun/Moon — 50% of the time you’re playing against stall, 40% of the time you’re getting OHKO’d or lose 80% through protect thanks to Z-moves and 10% of the time you’re doing 20-30% damage since the power level was at an all time low.
Replying to @TrickRubyVGC
Unfortunately Castform lost Disable and Tailwind in Champions, ultimately nerfing the only niche it could perform. Would recommend a set that utilizes twave and weather ball.

You're raw food dodging murderous cooking utensils to the beat of 1930s big band jazz in 'Foodgitives'.

I really respect Thomas’s work for the Indie scene and really want to see him succeed. This has been one of his grandest endeavors and I absolutely want him to break records. Check out Twisted Tower!
After 5 years of passionate development from a tiny team, Twisted Tower is officially out now. store.steampowered.com/app/1…

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

"Yeahhh! ...Nooo!!" 🤣 bro got too confident playing Foodgitives @DjaeMist

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.
