Hi HN!

I’ve been building a 2D game using a custom engine I wrote from scratch – no Unity, no frameworks. It’s fully self-funded and will be released commercially on Steam.

Engine source code (MIT): http://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo

I’d love feedback on the gameplay, visuals, performance, or anything else. Thanks!

Very cool! Congrats for the launch.

is the name a reference to the Brazilian genre Carimbó?

"Carimbo" comes from the word for "stamp," and that is exactly what a 2D game engine does—it continuously stamps sprites onto the screen.
