I released my first game on Steam and got rid of impostor syndrome!
My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.
Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !
Thank you! I used Monogame and it was interesting experience trying out framework instead of engine. As a long time Unity dev I liked the full freedom with framework and liked creating everything myself. It is probably not best fit for beginners but for someone with C# experience it is something that I would recommend.
For anyone who enjoys seeing how the sausage is made, OP also has some devlogs up on YouTube, I’ve been following for a little while. https://youtube.com/@PaahtimoGames
Two things I noticed :
The green blob appears semi-transparent on the screen score, but not in game.
When the powerups appear, there is a square appearing from one or two frame at the center of the level.
Thanks for feedback! I will take a look at these! I think I made the green slime transparent in the score screen so it doesn’t cover all other enemies, but power up thing sounds like a bug!
If you want to help game get visibility, writing review on steam would be really helpful!

@wawe @games Nice, congrats!
Well done 🥳. I wish you all the best
Congratulations, completing a game and getting it out the door is no mean feat!
Thank you!
Awesome work. Out of curiosity, what engine did you use and how was your experience with it?
Thank you! I used Monogame and it was interesting experience trying out framework instead of engine.

Hooray and congratulations! That’s quite an accomplishment.
Good luck!
Thanks!

Congrats on the release!
Thanks for sharing! I will try to be more active there for my next game!
It works out of the box on steamdeck.
Most of my testing/playing have been on steamdeck! In my local game events I just walked to people and gave them my steamdeck to test the game :D
Ok.
Two things I noticed : The green blob appears semi-transparent on the screen score, but not in game. When the powerups appear, there is a square appearing from one or two frame at the center of the level.

I will once on my computer.
And it could be fun to have a semi transparent blob in game too.
And cleared from my wish list, I’ll check it out when I get home. Nice work!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the game! Leave a review if you have any feedback or want to give it boost for steam algorithm :)
Don’t worry, steam reviews will fix that.
Jk congrats on the game! Can’t wait to check it out
Yeah, my first problem is getting people to notice the game, but getting all negative reviews would probably be depressing :D
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the game!
I’ll get a few hours in and leave a review for sure! Also, thanks for making it Steam Deck compatible.
Thank you and no problem! Steamdeck is one of my favorite consoles!
