Croshaw has developed many freeware games[1] in Adventure Game Studio, including the Rob Blanc trilogy,[2] The Trials of Odysseus Kent,[3][verification needed] the Chzo Mythos,[4] and 1213.[5]

In January 2012, Croshaw released a trailer for the Metroidvania game Poacher,[6] which was released in April that same year.[7] The game was inspired by Cave Story,[6][8][9] and was developed in GameMaker Studio,[9] which he would use to make all his subsequent games.[‡ 1]

In a 2014 Vice interview, Croshaw disclosed that he had been asked to pitch a script for the then-in-development Duke Nukem Forever by a producer. He did so, however the script was rejected due to not fitting the producer's vision of Duke Nukem as a character.[10]

In 2015, Croshaw released the mobile game Hatfall in collaboration with Addicting Games and Defy Media.[11] PC Magazine's Will Greenwald scored the game 3.5/5, describing the game as "a funny little take on casual mobile games that doesn't offer any depth or complexity," while adding that the game "does a good job of taking the piss out of games (and you as the player) with the sharp-tongued Britishness of Yahtzee's writing and the minimalism of his animations."[12]

In November 2013, Croshaw released the beta version of the Lovecraftian horror roguelike The Consuming Shadow,[13][14][15] On 30 July 2015, the full game was released.[16][17] Destructoid's Stephen Turner scored the game 4/10, describing the game as "more Frankenstein's Monster than Eldritch Abomination, shambling along [...] with once fresh parts, dug up from here and there."[17] On 20 November, a new version of the game was released on Steam, which included new features.[18]

In May 2019, Croshaw began a new video series called Dev Diary, wherein he would develop 12 freeware games over the course of a year.[19]
