Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been kicking doors, clicking on shoes to walk, running along walls, and fiddling with buttons on a television in space. Come check out these attractive and interesting indie games, and more!

Kicking doors open AND shooting people out of windows? This unnamed prototype FPS is spoiling me:

I spent Sunday walking in an autumnal wood and I’ve enjoyed Colorfiction’s games, so I’m certainly interested in this yet-unnanounced game:

You probably don’t need me to tell you about Ultrakill (in early access on Steam) but you can’t stop me celebrating cool first-person movement tricks:

A small addition to ULTRAKILL’s movement: Wallsliding!Whilst diving (slide + jump) next to a wall, you now slide along it.Jumping in this state allows you to bounce off the wall, while keeping your speed.#screenshotsaturday#ULTRAKILLpic.twitter.com/SMRFRj4ekv— Heckteck (@heckteck_dev)November 4, 2023

Yes, dear little mystery space station game, absolutely I want you to add as many buttons as possible to everything:

In the same way that mentioningDeus Exwill make at least one person play Deus Ex again (sorry?), linking to an SCP page will send at least one person clicking through the spooky archives again so hey, to understand what’s going on here inSCP: Contamination(coming to Steam), you do need toread the SCP 1981 entryand honestly I’m not even sorry:

I really like parrying projectilesso I am delighted with this melee combat primer fromTexnoplazm(coming to Steam), a spin-off from Ghostware:

Here come two tunnel runs for your comparative pleasure, starting with the “cyberpunk rhythm-parkourer” codenamed Project Gilgamesh:

Then a spookier and more anime tunnel in this yet-untitled game the dev describes as a “mix betweenJet Set Radioand DMC in a Bakemonogatari X Madoka Magica universe”:
