Been bopping along to the charming tunes of Tempopo over the last couple days. Review for the Switch version will be live very soon! 🎢

Thanks to Nintendo, we got hands on early with the Nintendo Switch 2! Join @squidgybuffalo.bsky.social to find out all the details about the console, its build and performance, and the range of launch titles in our Switch 2 hands-on. www.qualbert.com/nintendo-swi... #NintendoSwitch2 #Switch2

A fruity fresh take on the survivor genre, @vinebound.bsky.social Tangled Together has you take control of two characters at once! πŸ‡πŸŠ Think you've got what it takes to multitask against hordes of enemies? Find out in our review: www.qualbert.com/reviews/vine... #IndieGame #IndieDev

Ever wanted a dartboard in your living room without the risk of putting holes in your wall? 🎯 In Eggy, there's plenty of ways to take a break from the responsibility of virtual pet ownership. #VR #VirtualReality #MetaQuest #Quest3 #IndieGame #IndieDev

Almost a month into this new job and it's amazing to see the impact that simply posting anything daily can have! If you're an #indiedev, don't treat social media as an afterthought, especially YouTube Shorts. Posting simple gameplay clips daily will massively increase your game's visibility.

It was only for a split second, so you could have easily missed it, but Gustavo Santaolalla (original composer of #TheLastOfUs) had a cameo in the first episode of season two! Featuring his iconic ronroco that you hear in both of the games. 🎢

I've played through the first world and the stylised low-poly paper art in this game is absolutely gorgeous! We'll be launching the first world for free through Steam early access, so please give Cartoon Survivor a wishlist and support a great indie developer. #IndieGame #IndieDev

Like a real pet, using treats is the most effective way to train your dragon. Just make sure not to give them too many... 🍩 #VR #VirtualReality #MetaQuest #Quest3 #IndieGame #IndieDev

Queensland's premier pop culture event returns with the biggest range of artists yet, a brand new eSports section, and some incredibly impressive Monster Hunter cosplay! Thanks to the team at @supanovaexpo.bsky.social for inviting us to cover this year's event. www.qualbert.com/supanova-gol...

I'm finally done. 😭 Gold stake on every single deck in Balatro! @localthunk.bsky.social you have consumed my life over the last few months and I have no regrets whatsoever. But do I try get gold stake with every joker now?

Drawing familiar elements from post-apocalyptic games like Fallout and The Last of Us, @rebellion.com brings their own unique British flare in #Atomfall. ☒️ So pour yourself a pot of tea and crawl out through the fallout with in our review! www.qualbert.com/reviews/atom...

Easily my favourite purchase from Supanova this year - this absolutely ADORABLE Katamari + Prince keychain from the incredibly talented @littlebink.bsky.social. 😍 Have you ever seen a keychain so perfect? No. You haven't. Because this is it. #Katamari #KatamariDamacy

Picked up a copy of Tapeworm today. It's a cute yet grotesque tabletop card game from none other than Binding of Isaac creator, Edmund McMillan! πŸͺ± Glad to add this to the boardgame collection at last - first time I've seen it in the wild.

Checking out Supanova Gold Coast today and I've gotta say, this is the best artist alley I've seen to date! So many amazing artists - Ratpowers (Kirby cake), Littlebink (DS standee), DownTheWellArt (Hollow Knight), but my personal favourite is the Metroid hat! 😍

Was chatting with the dev behind @gnomes-the-game.bsky.social and turns out it's made here in Brisbane! Awesome to see another locally made game smashing it on Steam. Only played an hour so far, but I'm already impressed and will be sinking many more. youtu.be/PoEkbPQUt6I?... #Indiegame #IndieDev

Known for their absurdly large cast of characters, Konami's PlayStation JRPG series returns on modern consoles. With overhauled visuals and quality of life improvements, the remaster offers a perfect entry point into the world of Suikoden. www.qualbert.com/reviews/suik... #Suikoden #JRPG

Never thought I would see the day I'd be able to play Infinity Blade on PC! 🀯 This unofficial fan port of the sequel looks and plays like a dream. Game controls perfectly with a mouse and keyboard and the visuals look better than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W31w...

Indie developer, Caracal Games, delivers a high-speed sci-fi skating adventure that'll have you rocking out in @staroverdrive.com! Get ready for a music-fuelled wild ride in our review: www.qualbert.com/reviews/star... #StarOverdrive #NintendoSwitch #IndieGame #IndieDev @dearvillagers.com

Last week I was accused by a developer of being a key re-seller when I approached them for a review key. That was a first. This week, a reader contacts me asking for a game key for a game we've covered, assuming we're the publisher of the game. Also a first. The internet keeps on surprising me.

O lawd I can't wait to see how creative people get with the music creation in Tempopo. Expecting some incredible covers and arrangements!

Your room becomes a portal to the dragon realm when Eggy launches April 17th on Meta Quest! #VR #VirtualReality #MetaQuest #Quest3 #IndieGame #IndieDev

Take to the high seas as Captain Mad Dog Majima in the most swashbuckling Yakuza/Like a Dragon game yet! ☠️ With absurd side stories and a literal treasure trove of additional content, your Hawaii holiday awaits. www.qualbert.com/reviews/like... #Yakuza #LikeaDragon

I've been playing #DiscoElysium recently, and now I've got a PC copy to give away! All you have to do is: ➑️ Follow @qualbert.com πŸ‘ Like this post πŸ” Repost I'll pick a winner in 24 hours! If you've never experienced this narrative masterpiece, it's never too late.

Hand crafted by @peworks.bsky.social, Your HouseΒ is a fantastic mix of genres that pushes the envelope for what mediums combined together can do. Its panache and old-world charm make indie game worth investigating. Our review: www.qualbert.com/reviews/your... #Indiegame #IndieDev #YOURHOUSE

With dodgy sales tactics, paid subscriptions to access collector's editions, and now a foray into the retro gaming market, we take a closer look at how @ebgamesau.bsky.social continues to squeeze every single carrot out of Australian gamers. www.qualbert.com/eb-games-one...

Experience a supernatural, larger-than-life adventure through the bayou, from @compulsiongames.bsky.social, the team behind We Happy Few! Weave your destiny in our South of Midnight review. www.qualbert.com/reviews/sout... #Xbox #SouthOfMidnight

We need a Balatro x Xenoblade Chronicles collab just so it can be called "Wot a buncha jokers!"

With the biggest opening weekend for a videogame movie, Minecraft is on track to smash box office records. But is it worth watching, or is this just a diamond in the rough? Dig into our review for A Minecraft Movie! www.qualbert.com/reviews/a-mi... #Minecraft #MinecraftMovie

Never thought I'd have the chance to see Dethklok perform live! 🀘 Definitely one of my bucket list concerts and they pulled out every single banger from across every season of the show. The performers were incredible and Brendon Small is an absolute machine. πŸ”₯

Finished my first playthrough of Disco Elysium last night and now I understand why this game is a god damn narrative masterpiece. The ending took such an unexpected twist - never would have seen it coming. Just started my second playthrough. We're going unhinged Superstar Cop this time.

Now that its controversy has settled down, we take a closer look at Ubisoft's rendition of feudal Japan in #AssassinsCreedShadows. After multiple delays, is this ambitious new entry in Ubisoft's flagship series worth the wait? Our review: www.qualbert.com/reviews/assa...
