‘I do think Blow misunderstood what the game is about’: Derelict Star made Jonathan Blow rage quit, but it’s the most fascinating indie platformer I’ve played for years

A couple of weeks ago on X, someone reposted Braid and The Witness creator Jonathan Blow into my feed. He was sounding off about a new indie action-platformer called Derelict Star that I hadn’t heard of, but which has quietly gained an audience among movement platformer enthusiasts since its release in early April.

The first big Mewgenics update is great news for Mages, with a wealth of balance changes

It’s been a long time in the oven, but Mewgenics update 1.1 is finally live. The cat-collecting strategy game has followed beautifully in the steps of its older sibling, The Binding of Isaac.
