A striking golden and red hallway in an untitled indie game made by Jacob Potterfield.

A staggering stack of guns in roguelikelike shooter Vampire Hunters (coming to Steam):

A tricky shot inSniper Killer(coming to Steam), a game where you play both a sniper on a rampage and the detective hunting them:

WIP work on the carnival level for Sniper Killer! We’re giving the player multiple options on where to take ‘the shot’ from. Some intentionally being more difficult than others. Would you have the skill to take out your target while riding the rollercoaster?#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/0LDw0H46Cw— Jordan King (Black Eyed Priest Games) (@LeggoMyGiallo)May 13, 2023

A good book slam in monster-hunting horror shooterThe Axis Unseen(coming to Steam):

Spent some time this week polishing up the journal in The Axis Unseen.Who likes reading books with snappy polish? I think slamming this book shut is pretty satisfying!It also lowers when you walk, closes if you jump, etc. Hope you like it!#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/t6JwnwI70c— Nate Purkeypile - The Axis Unseen 🤘🏹🔥 (@NPurkeypile)May 13, 2023

Going to ramming speed above the clouds of Jupiter in roguelikelike dogfighterNova Squadron(coming to Steam, with an early demo there now):

I’ve fixed a few bugs involving platforms and ramming logic, and combined with the new ram damage R&D upgrades, this means you can destroy an enemy base…without bullets!

And retro-styled survival horror in Ground Zero:

A fight in the streets outside the arcade.A quick look at the counter system and the DNA scanning “Genome Points” system.

Playful exploration in Wilderless (currently in early access on Steam):

Rollerball Dash | Wilderless 1.8 PreviewI’m integrating the dash button into the mounts. With a rollerball dash mechanism in place, the mech will have the ability to glide seamlessly across sprawling landscapes.#solodev#openworld#procgen#indiegamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/TGRGCLi6nC— Protopop Games (@protopop)May 13, 2023

We end with the traditional visit to Kitty Corner, where- oh no.

Played around with sprite splicing this week. Turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, since Sprite Renderers don’t seem support this type of modification, but I got some sufficient results.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/MUALtFnqJ6— NarwaRP (@narwa_rp)May 13, 2023
