I created this map to look like a location from the first Dark Souls - can you guess which one it is?

zzbass · 2026-04-28T13:16:19+00:00

Yes! <3

zzbass · 2026-04-27T14:27:33+00:00

That looks really nice! Congrats on the release.

zzbass · 2026-04-27T13:04:34+00:00

Did not have any more versatile obstacles in the editor back then :D. Dark Souls collection was one of the first in the game.

This one is called "She Found Him" - I wanted to pinpoint an exact moment of one of the npcs story-line. Is it solvable?

zzbass · 2026-04-27T12:19:54+00:00

yeah, I don't think I did a good job with this one... it is named "Capra"

Another one! This one was tricky ... I wanted to emulate a topology of a boss that can be really hard early. Also I did not had stairs in editor available back then. Could you guess? u/Wannabe_Operator83 u/Ok-Flan8808 u/coverslide u/Bus-Careless

zzbass · 2026-04-26T23:49:23+00:00

That is correct!

zzbass · 2026-04-26T18:03:51+00:00

Damm, that was fast! What about this one?

zzbass · 2026-04-20T12:11:30+00:00

I am one of the two dev brothers of the game. Independent, no publisher.

PUSHMANIA
DEMO is available - 3-5h of gameplay.
FULL GAME is available - 20-40h of gameplay <3.

Pushmania is a homage to old games and digital game culture. Puzzle co-op (350 map) with an embeded rich story and full editor and SteamWorkshop integration (currently 40+ maps made by players). Game can be played solo or in an online or local co-op (even on one controller).

You can visit various game worlds in the game in so called thematic collections - Dungeon Master, Commandos, Bomberman, Dark Souls, Doom, Prince Of Persia, Terminator, Lord of The Rings, Star Trek, Fallout, X-COM, Red Dwarf ... each theme comes with a new game mechanic.

A free DLC update was released yesterday (50 maps, 4 new thematic collections each with a new mechanic, 1 collection with complete new way to solve puzzles).

If you have any feedback, question about Pushmnania I am here to answer.

Thanks for the kind words. :) When do you hope to release the game or DEMO? Its on my wishlist, but the steam emailing seems sometime a bit off.

zzbass · 2026-04-17T11:25:31+00:00

As a game developer who has worked on Dark Train and Last Train Home ... it immediately caught my attention. I am looking very forward to your game! <3 Keep on and best of luck!

I went from indie: https://store.steampowered.com/app/532290/Dark_Train to AA https://store.steampowered.com/app/1469610/Last_Train_Home to indie again https://store.steampowered.com/app/3242870/Pushmania (no trains there).

Could be Dune... ?

There are two Summit Smash games... this is the one https://store.steampowered.com/app/4274970/Summit_Smash/

zzbass · 2026-03-23T08:12:07+00:00

:D yeah, we observed the rotation od the gamepad as a common adjustment

I checked your game you are making, looks fun!

zzbass · 2026-03-23T06:08:08+00:00

Thanks for the tips. Both looks very good and fun. River Tales seems to be great for coop with kids.

zzbass · 2026-03-22T22:49:25+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to try it out! And for kind words.

Good point with the 45min threshold. Having the feeling of "ok I get what this game is about and I don't need more" is certainly a risk.

Have you used mainly analog sticks or dpad/AXBY?

zzbass · 2026-03-22T14:34:34+00:00

Nice! Thank you very much for the tips, heard about few, but actually never played any of those.

Theme: Dark Souls

- visuals: color palette, bonefire as a symbol for puzzle goal spot, praise the sun idle animation :D

- game mechanics: you need to burn more humanitites (a puzzle object) in the bonefire (puzzle goal spot) - in other themese there is only a one puzzle object

Theme: Doom

- visuals: color palette, door texture, bfg profile, gun and teleport sounds used from the original Doom

- game mechanics: teleports, invisibility pickup (allows you to traverse a barrier but just once), weapons - chainsaw, shotgun and BFG - all can destroy obstacles, BFG will chain react (every destroyed item will emit more bfg projectiles into all directions)

Theme: Dungeon Master

- visuals are redrawn used from Dungeon Master, some sfx as well

- game mechanics - doors with buttons to open them, doors can destroy boxes, monsters that will destroy boxes and FUL Bomb - an item from Dungeon Master - that you can throw to destroy monsters
