Admiring attractive and interesting indie games

I always like the look of games from the gang behindRevenge Of The Titans, and that holds true forBattledroid(coming to Steam), a game about building mech armies and bases:

Casting 3D lighting on 2D sprites in The Snow Is Red (prologue availableon Itch.io):

Spooky scenes from a Japanese indie team in this horror game, which auto-translate tells me has the working title Utsuromayu:

I do not appreciate this staring statue in co-op survival horror The Night Watch:

I like that Stardew ‘em up Fields Of Mistria (coming to Steam) has automatic Night Mode for the UI:
So satisfying to watch the HUD colors change with the time of day!☀️🌙#ScreenshotSaturdaypic.twitter.com/OG8zzcPogn— Fields of Mistria (@FieldsofMistria)February 25, 2023

Colourful splashes of violence in this unnamed shoot ‘em up:

Lighting flashes and hand-drawn strikes in He Came From Beyond, a Lovecraftian game made inside a modified version of ye olde Doom engine:
Looks like nothing special but getting this lightning strike to look relatively powerful took a lot of sneaky tricks.Challenge #1: don’t break “even, flat lighting everywhere” rule so it still look like a drawing.#screenshotsaturday#gzdoom#indiedevpic.twitter.com/de7MVRPE1j— He Came From Beyond (@he_beyond)February 25, 2023

An interesting mood in this, which I believe is still a bit of an unnamed experiment:

The journey from sketch to level inGo Fight Fantastic(coming to Steam):

A sloppy fight inRenaine(coming to Steam), and I certainly appreciate seeing this rather than just practiced and polished perfect runs:
usually I post clean gameplay here but I wonder how a clusterfuck messy fight from an outtake will go#screenshotsaturday#gamedev🦑pic.twitter.com/a9SP8JUoRn— Squidly 🦑 - Weekdaily GameDev Streams! (@squuuidly)February 25, 2023

Pushing the “fish out of water” aesthetic for Imperfect lately. Stark contrasts and misplaced oddities.#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#leveldesign#indiedev#ue5#madewithunreal#videogames#horror#HorrorCommunitypic.twitter.com/DbGcQn1JzQ— Walter Woods (ImperfectGameDev) (@ImperfectGD)February 25, 2023
