As in the puddles that fill the unnoticed depressions making them recognizable as traps for water,

So too do these droqevers reveal bright and dark spots in the droqen-made platformer design space.

Between June 24th and today -- two-ish months -- I have posted eleven games to droqever,

Eight of them in the last sixteen days. Wait, really? That's so much. That's probably too frequently.

There is a deeper hunger present for expressive movement controls than there is for weird little maze-puzzles, that's for sure! I find a pleasure in carving out such navigable spaces but I don't think others enjoy them as much as when they have a powerful moveset with which to confront them.

Structural surprises... they provoke a certain positive response, but not a major or sufficient one...

In any case, I am not sure whether this description of a design space is coherent to others or even to a future self, but Cruel World and we-met-at-the-summit had such one, as did Starseed Pilgrim -- a kind of bounded infinite mobility?

which one will i choose...
