Devil's Drizzle - It's not a bullet hell, but I can't help throwing in a challenge or two like that. Is it tough enough?

[ROGUELIKE] Ink. - A story of a 15 years old boy, who's loneliness due to his family situation makes him draw everything he feels: Monsters, fights, and the adventures of his best friend: a stuffed cat named Spok

I've been working on this game for quite a long time, and it finally happened, the moment of showing it to the world. This game is a Roguelike and it's currently in early access. You will play as one of three characters (they are cute cats!), each one with a different playstile.

You can check every detail and feature on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3146270/Ink/

Ink. is playable in solo or in coop mode (soon, feature is already made but still waiting on feedbacks about the game).

The book you'll play in is procedurally generated and the gameplay is unique each time thanks to the weapons-crafting system, powers and synergies you'll find and collect.

I'm still actively developing and testing a lot of new content, and I hope to hear back from some of you.

To my fellow readers, thank you for your time!

Escape Team in action

PLAYTHROUGH: A lot of people were asking me how this game is played and the interface. Well you go to the app and you scroll through missions, you can print the PDFs from there or you can access it in the website itself. Then, you go start the game and everything is basically connected

Someone asked me if there is a definite answer or path to solving the missions… all I can say is that’s the mystery of the game. Sometimes you’re gonna be surprised there is more than one way to solve a puzzle 😜

Is claiming Solo-dev or 1-single person a good thing in terms of marketing and communication?

I came across this doubt some days ago watching some reddit trend of claiming on posts that they are solo-developing the game.

What do you think?
Do you rank better a game created only by one person than other created by a team?
Couldn't it be seen by gamers that the game has some need to "cover" weak spots because is only one dev?
Is solo-developing a nice selling point?
