Get Telly the TV on Steam!
Delivering the tangiest 2D games west of the Atlantic.
Greetings everyone! I'm Extra Mustard, established in 2022. My first commercial project, "Telly the TV" is now available to buy here DRM free or on Steam if you would prefer. I also have a couple of other Game Jam projects on here as well that highlights my retro inspired style. I'm an indie developer that likes to use restrictions in my games in order to come up with creative ways to solve problems.
For example, my last title was created using a 1-bit color palette. My current project I'm also using a limited color palette of 7 colors (semi-monochromatic) to create all of the art assets. And by default my games also need to work on my somewhat older Macbook Air & PC that I use to develop games on, with Gdevelop.
Computers & electronics were a hobby for me growing up, but I never learned how to program. I always fantasized about making my own video games. Then with Gdevelop I found a free & user-friendly way, but I still couldn't grasp the concepts of programming, even visual scripting. So I took a couple of weeks of the online Harvard intro to programming class & taught myself the basics.
I combined this new knowledge with my love of retro gaming, pixel art, anime, cinema, and theme parks. My love of playing games turned into making games, and my first foray into games with "Telly the TV" has gained me over 20K plays & 120 ratings/reviews.
I'm now working on Glow Rogue, a Twin-Stick SHMUP with a Roguelike twist. You'll get in-game upgrades to help increase your high-score on the international leaderboards. You can also earn in-game currency to buy permanent stats & cosmetic upgrades for your ship.
Since I grew up with retro gaming, i really prefer the experience you have with older consoles. Pick up the game, and play. I like my games to be straightforward & simple like that. I want my games to be fun and familiar.
Thanks for reading and Here's Everywhere else you can find me on the web:
I plan to upload pixel art assets to sell as well. Thanks for stopping by!
Buy me a coffee so I can continue to create games and art assets to distribute on itch!
