Ho ho ho punks!
We've been quiet the last two months. Truth is we're all catching a breath after what has been a very full year for PUNKCAKE. We made quite a few games, and hosted two guest games on our subscription. We also started making a video newsletter, we released a physical cassette with tracks from our ...

Hi punks!
Eris here! This month's Newscake will be exceptionally in text format only. The usual Newscakes should come back soon!
This year has been really intense for us: we released 6 games of our own and 2 guest games, several prototypes, and there are 4 games left to create in order to achieve our "1 game per month" goal for 2025. We also t...

Ah september, the first month of fall, the long-awaited end to the summer heat, the rain.
This is all very nice, but what about the games? Well, we released Frontline: War of Echoes at the beginning of the month! It was technically supposed to be our August game, bu...

Hi punks!
Our new game Frontline is out now!
Capture the flag, but everytime your reach the flag, time gets rewinded and you play a new clone in the opposite team. Can your survive an army of yourself?
This one is leaning more on the experimental side. The premise feels pretty confusing when you start playing, but then it becomes very...

Hi Punks!
We're making a quick post today to let you know about the release of the July Newscake video!
Since it's a new format, the first batches take a little more time to prepare, but it should arrive at the same time as the text version in the coming months!
We also have another important announcement to make: contrary to what we had previous...

Hi punks!
Well, July is already coming to an end and we just weren't fast enough to release our new game in time.
The July game is just late. It's coming, and there will be another separate game for August, which hopefully we'll manage to release in August, and not in September. But let me tell you what we've been up to!

Hi punks!
This post comes a little later than I would have liked, but I've been really struggling with the heat we're having here in France, so this is the best I could do. I bring quite a few news though!

Hi punks!
Our May game is Serpentes: Anniversary Edition!
It's an update to a hellishly addictive game made by Benjamin in 2015, a game of Snake, where you eat fruit to extend your length and have to avoid running into walls or yourself, but with a twist: fruits get 5 random properties each time you play that are unlocked by eating them...

We apologize about the lateness of the April game! It's coming very soon, next week if all goes well, and we'll also have another game for May!
Also, our monthly Newscake posts are moving over to an actual newsletter! We'll still be posting here of course, but only a shorter version of the posts. We encourage you to check out the new newsletter and to subs...

We're starting the year off with a bang here, we just released Horizons: The End Of Words, an open-world space-exploration word game!

Hi punks!
So we decided to make up for this weird slow year by releasing one game a day this week... I'm just kidding, but we really do have another game for you today! This one has kept me busy since april, except for when I was on Shotgun King for a few months. Still, it's been brewing for a long time and I'm very relieved to finally push out some version of it.

We got a surprise for you, Eris has been working on Tummy Bonbons: The Sweet Monster since the GBJam back in september. We felt like the prototype she made then had potential and so she made a full game out of it!
And since it's her first PUNKCAKE game, we thought it'd be nice for everyone to have it be available for free!

Well, still no new release in November. Hot Wax has been a bit of a hot mess. The game is still coming together and I still think it's a good game, but I lost most of my motivation to be working on it, so I'm just pushing through and taking any opportunity to be doing something else.
In the end I spent half of the month working on our...
