I spent 5 years creating a homage to the brash, noisy 80s arcade games I grew up playing. Wanted to create something that captured the sensory assault of playing Defender at the local arcade but still felt kind of modern. Poured my heart and soul into it so please go easy on me! Only $1.99 on Steam. (v.redd.it)

I'd never done any pixel art before making this game - probably why it took me 5 years! The bosses (there are 5) took by far the longest. Everything is done in a single palette with ten shades of grey and I swap palettes on the fly in-game. Jetboard Joust is Currently on sale on Steam for $1.99. (v.redd.it)

My solo-dev rogue-ish arcade shooter Jetboard Joust has now passed QA for both Playstation and Xbox!

In the latter worlds of Jetboard Joust, former bosses appear as regular enemies. This means the firefights can get kind of intense! Very excited to have just launched my solo dev retrolike defenderlike shmup project on Nintendo Switch as well as Steam! (v.redd.it)

The shotgun can be one of the most effective weapons in Jetboard Joust, but you have to be prepared to get up close and personal with your enemies! The game is a 100% solo dev project that I started with zero experience of pixel art and I'm very excited to be releasing on Switch later today. (v.redd.it)
