Overreact, my first mobile app launched for iOS today, featuring a collection of (somewhat frustrating πŸ˜†) button-based mini games! And a huge thank you to everyone who helped with testing and providing feedback! (Android coming soon, I'm just waiting on the review process)

I am such an idiot! I completely forgot about Steam Next Fest last week, and as a result I didn't plug Beep Boop, not even once! 🀦 I really suck at marketing! 🀣 Anyway, if you fancy trying out the demo, it's available on Steam. Link below...

1/ 🧡Just did a network analysis of the "far right thugs unite" hashtag. It largely seems to be a simulated scandal/outrage to promote the Reform Party and Nigel Farage and - while also being an attack on Keir Starmer.

This 40-year-old Llamasoft ad is really cool. Great illustration - I assume by Steinar Lund - plus an excellent lineup of classic games makes for a visually striking image that's mercifully devoid of the walls of text that often plagued game ads during this period.
