He goes by the tag Freezebeam and is known for creating surreal bitscapes across genres and modes of play in his games. I’m a particular fan of his shmups: Unseelie Chorus and Escape Wizard. His game Towerbound is perhaps the most clever take on tower defense I’ve seen to date, featuring small tweaks to the tried-and-true formula that change the entire flow of the genre in a way that feels fresh. And his newest game is a peaceful city builder called Realmfold. Go play it now! \nPlay Realmfold and all of Matt's games on his itch page HERE: https://freezebeam.itch.io/\nCheck out Domino Grove: https://ezra-szanton.itch.io/domino-grove\nAND our interview with Domino Grove creator Ezra Szanton here: https://indiegamegarden.transistor.fm/6\nSubset Games (creators of Into the Breach and FTL): https://subsetgames.com/\nDorfromantik (video game version): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455840/Dorfromantik/\nDorfromantik (board game version): https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/370591/dorfromantik-the-board-game\nSol Cesto: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738490/Sol_Cesto/\nRift Wizard: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1271280/Rift_Wizard/\nPath of Achra: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128270/Path_of_Achra/\nAnimal Well: https://store.steampowered.com/app/813230/ANIMAL_WELL/\nDEMON'S TILT: https://store.steampowered.com/app/422510/DEMONS_TILT/\nXENOTILT: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2008980/XENOTILT_HOSTILE_PINBALL_ACTION/\nObsidian (notetaking app): https://obsidian.md/\nMy silly little game, Harley & Bleak: https://darthmalks.itch.io/harley-bleak","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6ymojzqyD00O6uaMm0iKA54tmQiqJqEi3o2Imn1CODQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNWNi/MjdlODczMTQ2MDQ3/OGQ3ZDFjNWNlMTc2/M2E2Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
