Hello, this is the homepage of PlayGlutamate. I live in the East Village of New York City and I love making art inspired by my day to day life and experience here. This site is a landing page for my games, as well as cool interactive demos and dev tools I've created while making them.

Please reach out for any business opportunities or collaborations (especially if you are in new york!) and hope you enjoy my games :)

The Flicker Font

This is the actual hand-drawn 2-frame bitmap font from Carrot Count Sheep, running the same animation code as the game — every letter wobbles on its own phase. Type something! (It knows A–Z, 0–9, . ? ! / - and a smiley for a closing paren. Type \n for a new line.)

Flicker Font Studio

A tool I use to make font text for my trailers. Type anything in the Carrot Count Sheep flicker font, pick a colour and an outline, choose a canvas size (landscape, portrait, square or your own), and download crisp transparent PNGs of both animation frames.

JukeBox

The music of Carrot Count Sheep, Pigeon Over Manhattan, O-Line Particle Accelerator and Gravity Ball, played back the way each game plays it: Carrot's looping soundtracks with the tape-slowed puzzle mode, Pigeon's music composed live by a port of the game's constraint-solving, non-AI music algorithm, O-Line's two-layer Shop / Play crossfade, and the Gravity Ball OST from SoundCloud.
