For the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month: some Mexicans strapping fireworks to hammers.
Do not try this at home.

One minute of tonight’s fireworks in Morrisville. The sound is turned way low so as not to be disturbing. The only statement intended by this post is “Fireworks are pretty.” 🩵

Splodey: The Exciting New Platformer Game with Explosive Potions
ALTSplodey fast-paced 2D platformer game brings the adventure to Windows PC, but it’s also playable on Linux. Thanks to the talented team at Send It Studios. Available on Steam with 93% Very Positive reviews.
Mad Mushroom and Send It Studios just released Splodey, a unique 2D platformer where you won’t find a jump button anywhere. Instead, you’ll be using twin-stick controls to toss exploding potions. These potions not only clear obstacles but also launch you through the air. With over 100 levels that revolve around explosive propulsion and momentum. It’s here to challenge even the best platform players.
Thanks to the email reply from Send It Studios, Linux is “something we are exploring.” But at the moment you can also get away with running the title via Proton. It’s worth it.
Splodey - Launch Trailer
Liam Collins, the Lead Designer at Send It Studios, shared his excitement: “Our team is made up of three friends, speedrunners, and Twitch streamers. We still can’t believe we’ve launched a game! We couldn’t have done it without Mad Mushroom and the creators at OTK. Their feedback was crucial in shaping Splodey. So we hope platforming fans will love its explosive movement, challenging levels, and tons of secrets.”
Here are some key features:
- No Jump Button? No Problem! - Since you won’t be jumping, but you won’t be stuck on the ground either. The game’s momentum-based movements make the platforming experience deeper, rewarding creativity and skill.
- Challenge Without Frustration - Splodey offers infinite lives and instant retries. It rewards skilled players who creatively blast through levels while staying accessible for everyone.
- Endless Replayability - The gameplay loop is addictive. Since each level is a unique puzzle that’s instantly satisfying to solve.
- Secrets Galore - Beyond the main 100 levels spread across four worlds, there’s also a bonus world with 25 extra levels. Plus, 16 secret levels are waiting to be discovered if you explore thoroughly.
To celebrate the Splodey launch, Mad Mushroom is hosting an influencer speedrun challenge. From June 4-18, 2024, creators who stream or upload videos with the #SplodeyChallenge tag can compete for a $10,000 prize in an all or nothing speedrun challenge. Check out more details on the challenge here.
The explosive action and unique gameplay mechanics make it a must-try for platformer fans. Whether you’re in it for the challenge, the secrets, or the speedrunning competition, there’s something here for everyone. Grab your potions and get ready to blast off!
You can grab Splodey 2D platformer on Steam right now for $9.74 USD / £8.24/ 9,59€ with the 25% launch discount from the usual $12.99 USD. The Windows PC build is playable on Linux via Proton.

MY HEAD HAS A TENDENCY TO EXPLODE
Today, for your perusal, various ideas, thoughts, tools, distinctions, videos and other such things currently in process inside my brain (many of which are half-baked):
1. Your ability to thrive is directly related to your ability to trust in spirit/universe/god/aether/whatever
2. Computer science is the practice of abstraction. Coaching is the practice of distinction.
3. Everything is already perfect and nothing is ever good enough.
4. Being a leader == Being (and creating) transformation.
5. Coaching == the conduit for receiving, delivering and creating transformation
6. Coaches are people that have devoted their lives to creating transformation. and..
.. Leaders are people living their life, and practicing being and creating transformation as they do.
7. How Excellence is Holding You Back
(Graphic as well as a Blog post?)
8. Podcasting to the Smartest People in the Room, and Those Leading Them
9. The Acknowledgment Challenge
(a movement for love)
10. Spectrums of Being
(graphic showing how various ways of being can show up from love and fear. Eg, Generosity <-> Selfishness)
11. Breaking down Being
(How much your clothes, stance, breath and gaze tells me about you)
12. You tell me that you “…want to strangle all the morons!"
- I wonder if you notice the one consistent variable in all of those situations?
- How the hell do I make a graphic out of THAT?!
13. What does stillness look like for each of the following:
- Connection
- Passion
- Presence
- Brilliance
- Wit
14. Facebook Live weekly show
(Very exciting! Very scary!)
15. Distinguishing Clients
- Identifying a coach’s client by helping them identify themselves.
- Provide to more coaches? Is there a demand? (almost certainly)
- I should combine this with #14 (Facebook live weekly shows).
16. Ongoing research (via interviews) with the Smartest Person in the Room
So, yaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I struggle to allow, contain, express, etc., everything inside me.
Sometimes it feels like my head is going to explode.
Other times I get frustrated that it isn’t ‘splodey enough.
😄
If you made it this far, tell me:
Which do you vote for?

Answer
Splodey is like some wonderful person cynical fairy that I met on the internet and we have bonded over a range of mutual interests and a hatred of stupid people. She is really smart, and has a great personality that I can actually hold a conversation with her without wanted to shoot myself in the head (I hate you Cousin Bailey! Ge eat lead!). And, most importantly, she’s put up with my bizzare self over the years we’ve known each other and for that, I cannot thank her enough.
Also we once sent that same anon to two different people.
