Kickstarting my next FREE Steam game!
Dear Players,
My 12th Steam release is going to be another relaxing free game! If you'd like to take a part in this project and get your name inscribed in it, please consider supporting it over on Kickstarter. <3
And don't forget to wishlist Mossy Pixels on Steam, so that you can enjoy destroying mossy surfaces pixel-by-pixel as soon as it gets released!
This game will be released and will be 100% free for everyone, regardless of whether it reaches its funding goal or not. However, your support would greatly help me stay on track and keep making 1 free game per year in the future!
Speaking of which, don't forget to grab my previous free game, in case you missed it!
Thank you for playing my games and for considering helping me out. Have a wonderful day! :)
Kind regards, Ivan (Khud0)
2 new games coming soon! (One of which is 100% FREE!)
Dear players,
In 2 weeks, I'm going to release my 11th game on Steam! 🥳
Meet Turret Rampage, a score-chasing tower defense, in which YOU play as the ONLY tower! Repel enemy waves by quickly moving between their tunnels and using the right weapons for every foe! 💥
If you'd like to see how this game was made, there is an ongoing devlog series where I share the path this game took to become a finished product:
Also, after this (relatively) big project, I'm going to wind down and finish another small, but 100% FREE game. Make sure to wishlist it so that you can enjoy destroying mossy surfaces pixel-by-pixel as soon as it gets released! 😊
I hope you'll enjoy these games, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about them. 😉
Sincerely yours, Ivan (Khud0)

I'm sure it will help you unleash your creativity, unwind after a hard working day or just have some fun and forget about the problems for an hour or two. Hope you'll consider giving it a try! :)
Yours sincerely, Ivan (Khud0)

Time to Blow & Fly!
Blow & Fly is now finally available on Steam! I can't wait to hear what you think about it. :)
In case you're wondering whether Blow & Fly will meet your expectations or not, I made a short overview describing various aspects of the game. If you're still in doubt after watching it - don't be shy to contact me, I'll try my best to answer any of your questions!
At the end of 2020, I told you that I was ready to move on to a more ambitious project, and... Today the game I was hoping to make officially became available on Steam!
Immortus Temporus is an action puzzle for people who love to find optimal ways to complete the game and beat it faster than anybody else. Most of the levels in "IT" have multiple solutions, which require players to think outside of the box and break the rules of this game. For instance, if you crash into a hazard, you will deactivate it for the duration of the level and teleport back to the spawn point, which might help you get where you want faster.
I'm super proud of "Immortus Temporus" and I'm 100% certain that it's the best project I've ever worked on. I'm excited to release this game to the public eye, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it! ːsteamhappyː
If you'd like see how this game feels to play, please check out this let's play by Rayk: [previewyoutube="bsDI2hYRzck;full"] If you are curious about how this game was made, I made two 5-minute-long devlogs on my YouTube channel, where I tried to describe how this game came to life and how I came up with its puzzles: [previewyoutube="LuQ1P8ewn7g;full"] [previewyoutube="71Yg_WZeCx4;full"] And if you'd like to get weekly summaries of what I'm working on, as well as take a peek "behind the things" of what I'm doing, please consider following me on Patreon!
Thank you for reading this announcement, have a splendid day! ːgrizzland_heartː
Yours forever, Ivan Zlobin (Khud0)
Shatris is now available on Steam!
Dear Players,
If you told me a bit more than a year ago that some day I'll release a puzzle game, I'd doubt your words. What happened instead is that I now have 2 puzzle games on Steam, released in the same year! Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shatris!
The reason I made Plastris is that I wanted to get used to a new game engine. I decided to transition from GameMaker to Unity and didn't want to make some engine-specific mistakes on a big and ambitious project, so I thought that the easiest game genre to release would be a puzzle. Nonetheless, I enjoyed developing it because I could work together with my girlfriend and design this game using just paper, pen and sometimes dried peas while I was at home, on a bed or even on a bus.
The reason I made Shatris, however, was because I wanted to improve on the previous game. I felt like I didn't push it to its full potential and I wanted to make something that is similar, but better. I wholeheartedly believe that I managed to achieve that, but obviously it's not my opinion that matters. :) Thus, in case you're interested in puzzle games, I hope that you'll try it out yourselves and share your thoughts with me.
Now I finally feel like I've learned enough to start something ambitious and I hope to meet you again in 2021. :) I have a few prototypes ready, but I still haven't decided what exactly the upcoming game of mine will look like. However, there's a 90% chance that it will be controller-based and 2 players will be able to play it on the same couch.
Thank you for reading this announcement, I wish each single one of you to have fantastic winter holidays and only the best of luck in the upcoming year!
Yours forever, Ivan Zlobin (Khud0)
My new game is now available on Steam!
I never thought that I'd make a game of that genre in my life. Luckily, inspiration always comes out of nowhere and I've just pushed the "release" button on Steam for my new puzzle game! Its creation was a wonderful journey which me and my girlfriend went through together. Now I am ready to share it with you!
