Loss Prevention is a social deduction game where you can shoplift your local grocery store with up to five friends. Experience the joy of petty crime as a shoplifter, or keep your eyes peeled for suspicious activity as the shopkeeper. Can you grab all the items on the shopping list?

Roles

The Shopkeeper

Snuff out any shoplifters in the store. That means paying attention to anyone stashing items, listening to announcements from the security office, and just keeping your eyes peeled for suspicious activity.

Shoplifters

Work with your team to steal all the items on their shopping list before time runs out, all while trying to blend in with NPC shoppers.

Key Features

Blend in

Shoplifters must balance between blending in and moving fast but be careful—NPCs can alert the shopkeeper if they notice anything suspicious.

PA System & Sabotage

The store intercom periodically alerts the shopkeeper to suspicious shoppers. Shoplifters can temporarily sabotage the system by tampering with microphones.

Jail Break

If shoplifters are caught by the keeper, they can be freed by fellow teammates, but they must decide between completing the list or risk being caught trying to free their teammates.

K.O.

Watch the corners or risk getting a can of peas in your face. Both teams have their own weapons up their sleeves.

PLEASE WATCH THESE 2 BEFORE READING FURTHER, since I can't attach any files or anything to this post:
- https://youtube.com/shorts/jFKY40yOGtI (public video, just release today, and a teaser for the up coming game, hand made (~20hrsish) animation, ~2mins)
- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4cixWmV5HiU (unlisted video, mainly featuring the things during the race. it is an older capture but game-feel-wise still relevant)

What the game entails:
- Build your own home: Gridwise building, with furnitures, decor items, pots, and frogs.
- Develop your ecosystem: acquire crafting benches, create new materials, race items, better frogs, etc
- Sell and trade: Auction house, player trading and many more, some maybe able to craft really good Decor Workbenches, while others have a proficiency in Race Items.
- Friend up and go on an 8 player mayhem (randomly filled + premade), with your own hatched and trained frogs.

- Put randomly gained items to your frogs: or to others', making the match even more crazy
- Participate in either Short or Normal matches: where during a normal match you can earn Crowns, but beware, predators are also part of that match type, permanently eating frogs, so you should not aim for the first please and definitely not for the last!
- Bring your own items to the party!
- Kick down trees, bump into cacti, and interact with the environment not just with your opponents!

What can I offer:
- Premium currency when the game launches
- Special skins
- and an opportunity to form the game with the community who love a cozy but crazy game.

How to enter:
- Visit https://lazyplatypus.com and enter name + email
- If you are still within that 80 ppl (currently at 15 so we still have some space to fill), I'll email you the link to the game on Google Play Store (I'll figure out on iOS, but they are not so keen to cooperate..) where you'll be able to download the game directly from the Google Play Store.
- I'll have dedicated "hot hours" during the upcoming 2 weeks, where people can be guaranteed to be playing with other players. The website (https://lazyplatypus.com) will be updated, and will contain those exact hours (so from Oct 17th)

Thank you for reading, if you have any questions, or you feel like you have a whole group that might join the playtesting, send me a DM or post an answer here. If you know someone who would be interested in the game, please forward this post to them! I'd like to reach out to people who love these types of games.

Üdv,

The Steam page for my game is finally up: Sprite Garden, where incremental games meet Pacman! Play the free demo here: Sprite Garden - Demo by Xyxyka.

Feedback please! Think it sucks or just isn't interesting? Let me know! I need to know how I can improve!

I built a small food delivery driving simulator called DropDub. Pick up orders, make deliveries, earn money, and see how much you can make in a shift. No downloads or signup required.

I'd like to know: How many shifts would you play before getting bored? And what would make you come back and play again?

Hey everyone!

We're a small indie team working on Bound to Die, a dark fantasy co-op roguelike with retro-style graphics, brutal first-person combat, elemental magic, and the ability to use the environment as a weapon.

We're looking for playtesters, so feel free to DM us if you're interested!

Our first game is out! Thank you for support.

Dev here. MĀRA runs in your phone or desktop browser, so there is nothing to install and no signup.

It's a ladder of six stations built from three very old board games: Brandubh (Irish, around 700 AD), Bagh Chal (Nepal) and Amazons (invented in Argentina in 1988). Beat the last station and you reach a final opponent, Māra, who plays a fourth game that isn't in the menu.
Moves in the main games are scored against the best one available, which gives you a Game IQ out of 100.

I’d love some fresh eyes on it. Are the controls comfortable? Does the tutorial make sense? Is the first night too tough?

Even a short play session and an honest first impression would help. Thanks for trying it!

Description: In this 3D top-down 3/4 game, the protagonist is a Rat roaming in search of food and drink to survive. New resources may spawn at any step, while existing ones lose value; consequently, players must often pause to evaluate the best path across a torus-shaped board, a structure that encourages thinking outside the box.

Involvement: The game was originally created in May 2019 in its most basic form during our university days—we even play-tested it during breaks between classes. The "RaT" was simply a square moving around in search of colored numbers. It has finally come back to LIFE after seven years spent in the "sewers" of the file system... because the two of us, now working professionals, decided to learn Godot.

Enjoy and, if you have time, let us know your take on it ^^

Got tired of plank timers you could just lie to, so I made one that detects a plank position with your camera (STRICTLY OFFLINE on-device processing ONLY).

Stay still and your avatar evolves progressively into cooler bros. I find it oddly motivating, hope you will, too.
