You can’t make me do a horror edition.

Scream-shot Saturday Sundays? Not on your unlife, pal, it’s November. Halloween’s over. I have no contractual obligation to be “spooky” today, so let’s fearlessly dive back into the well of Twitter’s favourite gamedev hashtag. This week: A frog chorus, a living painting, an ominous orb, and a begrudging admission that yes, it’s the scary weekend, fine.

Oh gosh, someone’s turned out the lights for our next entry, but don’t worry. The orb is your light. The orb is your friend.

Now, I’d love to give you a bit of music this Sunday afternoon, but it appears the band hasn’t yet shown up to play. Some frog chorus, this.

Preview of a new area we’re working on. As part of the town’s anniversary celebration, the band will play some classic tunes.#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/0gY20Yb5VR— Smarto Club (@smarto_club)October 31, 2020

As a narrative adventure game about a frog in search of tea leaves, Chilean developers Smarto Club’s amphibious romp looks delightfully cosy. The artists use dithered pixels to giveTeacup(both the game and the eponymous frog herself) this fuzzy, picture-book quality, something that’d readily sit on the shelf next to an Over The Garden Wall artbook.

A perfect game for popping open on a laptop in bed with a warm mug of tea, I reckon - though I hope my own quest for more teabags isn’t so convoluted as to form the basis of an entire videogame.

Finally… oh, fine, you can haveoneHalloween post, courtesy of the wonderfulWeaving Tides.

Hope they’re knitting a big pumpkin sweater, because it’s looking to be a particularly long, cold, lonely winter. Stay safe out there, skeletons.
