Happy 20th anniversary to @RareLtd's Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Unfiltered originality, endless character, this game is a real hidden gem. Also has @grantkirkhope's best work in it. Love this game.

[Joe McClelland @PicklechipsDev]

@GaryAStott Sounds promising 🤔🤔

@Daley_Kong The 2nd quack was me, I just couldn't help it

[Joe McClelland @PicklechipsDev]

@Jakob_Wahlberg There's something incredibly satisfying about prototyping an idea that hasn't been done and finding out for yourself why it doesn't work.
And then duck taping solutions like "it works if the player just looks down the whole time, it's fine"

#ggj2023 @UoLComputing "Shell Shock Rooster" - a multiplayer arcade game all about killing chickens. I always stay on theme. Exciting to sleep deprive myself again next year! Here's some gameplay: 🐔🍗

I played through all of Grapple Dog from @JoGribbin and it's got to be one of my favourites. It also kicked my ass and showed me how bad I am at video games. If you're looking for a indie banger made with love, this is it.

[Joe McClelland @PicklechipsDev]

2022, been cooking up a game I've been working on for a while. Very excited to share previews of it and hopefully fully release Q2/3 this year.

@PebsieTTV I've heard great things about MMR is certain videogames 😳

[Joe McClelland @PicklechipsDev]

I cannot stress enough, Rare's Grabbed By The Ghoulies is the greatest game you've never played, and some of Grants best work is inside this gem's ost.
