Go Forth, My Orb!

It's always that same apprentice causing all the trouble!

​

Go Forth, My Orb! is a retro-stylised block-breaking roguelike game that I've been developing in my free time.

​

Taking inspiration from many different games in the genre, GFMO is a fun and challenging spin that combines retro gaming with modern difficulty.

​

With stackable items, buffs, scrolls, and curses, it is important to constantly be adapting your setup to scale for the ever-increasing difficulty of your enemies. 

​

Go Forth, My Orb! is targeted for an early 2026 release on Steam.

The Cabin is a short horror game I made for the Yogscast Game Jam 2020 under the theme 'surprise'. In just 48 hours I completed the game and ended up with over 1000 downloads by the end of the voting period, ranking 1st in popularity amongst 210 games.

The cabin

River Rush is the second mobile game I have released to date.

Colour Correct

Colour Correct is a game which I challenged myself to make and upload to the Google Play Store in under 12 hours. It has very simple mechanics but it taught me a lot about the release process for a mobile application.

With gameplay reminiscent of many infinite-runner titles, it proved an exciting project to work on.
