Jackal (by Transhuman Design) is a Hotline Miami-inspired shooter with its own twists. The narrative presentation is slick, it's unforgiving, and the drug-induced spells have potential. It's dope. See it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv6F... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

Moros Protocol (@morosprotocol.bsky.social) is a sci-fi boomer shooter roguelites with immaculate pixel painted visuals and a boss with interesting… ASSets. Check it out here: youtu.be/jHeo1frg3As?... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

ZOE Begone! (s/o to dev @retchyyy.bsky.social for the key!) is a shmup/bullet hell game with a 1930s film-inspired art style, and it's hard as HEYLL. Don't be fooled by the gorgeous animation; you WILL get humbled. See it in action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E78-... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

The Bleakest Keep (s/o to the dev CacheOfBones for the key!) is a challenging horror-tinged action roguelite with a PSX aesthetic. It's easy to pick up, but harder than you'd initially think. It's dope. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whrc... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

Katanaut (@voidmawgames.bsky.social) is a cosmic horror-infused action roguelite inspired by Dead Cells, and it's SICK. I enjoyed every minute, despite getting betrayed... s/o to @piratepr.com for the key! See it for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZL... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

I finally got to playing the Demo for Shape of Dreams, and damn… I understand it now. Who’d have thought a MOBA/roguelite could be so dope??? Check it out here: youtu.be/vk5UPP0fLNs?... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

A CRPG mixed with 90s point and click games? Well, that's what @heroes7islands.bsky.social is. It's charming and chill. s/o to @2leftthumbs.bsky.social for the key! Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjzR... #IndieCreators #IndieGame #CRPG

So I played a little unknown, underrated indie game called Hollow Knight: Silksong. You prob haven't heard of it.... Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCg-... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

Star Fire: Eternal Cycle is a surprisingly well polished beat em up roguelite with insane build crafting potential. It’s fun and chaotic; I’m surprised it hasn’t been talked about more. Vid below: youtu.be/oRb79axBoiI?... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

Stick it to the Stickman by @freelives.bsky.social (dev) and @devolverdigital.com (pub) has an INSANE content-to-value ratio. Prob one of my most anticipated indie games in recent memory. For $5? It's def a steal. Vid on it below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW0D... #IndieCreators #IndieGame

Ovis Loop by LiFuel games is satisfying to play--it has combo crafting and fast-paced action. It's def a standout roguelite this year. You should play it. (video below). Also, shoutout to @kepler-interactive.bsky.social for the review key! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y9h... #IndieCreators #IndieGame

I beat @offtherpg.com and it was a WILD experience. I promise it's not what you think... and, though I'm late to finally making the vid (*sigh*, life), I'd like shoutout to @piratepr.com for the review key! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItiW... #IndieGame #IndieCreators

Finally got a vid up for @mortalsingame.bsky.social one of my fav action roguelites EVER. I've had it for a while and been following the (solo!)dev's progress, playing through multiple iterations of the game. It's fire. You should play it. #IndieGame #IndieCreators www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPqA...

The struggle of working full time office job and only wanting to spend all day recording videos about indie games is so real. If I made enough money to pay an editor that would be sick, but the gag is that I’d have to keep working and moving up to make more money just to pay them.

@artis-impact.bsky.social is one of the best looking indie JRPGs I've played recently. It's all hand-drawn, is inspired by manga/comic books, and is done by one person. You should probably play it. S/O to @kepler-interactive.bsky.social for the key! #IndieGame #IndieCreators youtu.be/_V1XLGu-lmg

Nox Mortalis by @mrgemezl.bsky.social is a retro-style survival crafting game similar in style to King's Field with TONS of atmosphere. I had hella fun playing it. Vid here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jkf... #IndieCreators #IndieGame

I played 3 roguelikes all published by @2leftthumbs.bsky.social. You should play them. (Vid link below). Support the devs: Novus Orbis - @seizogames.bsky.social Schism - Fami (they're on Twitter) Picayune Dreams - @stepford.newgrounds.com Video: youtu.be/kaWfdELTBD8 #IndieCreators #IndieGame

Some (questionably) fun times playing Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion by @bubbydarkstar.bsky.social. The character designs, hand-drawn sprites, and unhinged dialogue stood out most to me. It's hard to explain. Just... play it. #indiecreators #indiegame youtu.be/duFy9sYNmb0

Indie games.

My review for @zockrateslabs.bsky.social's Ruffy and the Riverside is finally up! It's a nostalgic platformer with an INSANELY dope texture-swapping mechanic. Shoutout to @piratepr.com for the review key! Vid here: #IndieCreators #IndieGame www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux8-...

I played Ex-Zodiac, developed by @benhickling.bsky.social, and had a pretty fun (and sweaty-palm-inducing) time. If you loved Star Fox, you'll LOVE this one. Check it out: #IndieCreators #IndieGame youtu.be/PSUHPRtQ9ic

I reviewed Lost in Random: The Eternal Die by @lostinrandom.bsky.social, published by @thunderfulgames.bsky.social, and it was HEAT. Some minor complaints, but I still enjoyed my time through. Vid here: #IndieCreators #IndieGame youtu.be/X7oKesiOxHA

I played Sol Cesto by @docgeraud.bsky.social and published by @goblinzstudio.com . Man, this game has the SAUCE. It's challenging, rewarding, stressful, and intriguing all at once. I'm excited for future content for SURE. Vid here: #IndieCreators #IndieGame youtu.be/sHUzZrZg9EQ

I'm late but... I just put up my review of @pockettrap.bsky.social's Pipistrello and the Cursed YoYo, published by @pmstudios.bsky.social! This game is FIRE. Possibly one of my fav indies of the year so far. PLAY IT. Link: #indiegame #indiecreators youtu.be/l0NI_NBwbTQ

I reviewed Haneda Girl by @studiokobagames.bsky.social and they COOKED with this game. It's fun, fast, frenetic, and BRUTAL. Still, the game is sick and definitely worth playing if you love Celeste or Katana Zero. Vid below: youtu.be/fB65a3x4VLs?... #indiegame #indiecreators

Spreadcheat by @gamespeopleplayas.bsky.social is a humorous (and difficult) puzzle game where you use Excel to solve each puzzle. It's also a satire of toxic work culture and capitalism... and I might have gone on a rant about it in this video: youtu.be/uP_4pRCzmsk #indiecreators #indiegame

I played Wizordum by @emberheartgames.bsky.social and @apogeeent.com for just over an hour, and I'm already invested in the game. It's a "boomer shooter" with gorgeous pixel art and insane magic-themed weaponry and spells. You should probably play it. youtu.be/LgG26R2nks4?...

I played Immersive Sim "Skin Deep" by @blendogames.bsky.social published by @annapurna.com, for about an hour and had a GREAT time. This game is dope; it doesn't take itself seriously and has just the right amount of slapstick humor. Check out my 1st hour here: youtu.be/CsGkh9bieso #IndieCreators

I'm LIVE: 'GOTY CONTENDER JRPG IS FINALLY HERE! | Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Day 01 | !vgq (video game quiz)' ...and playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 today! https://www.twitch.tv/jamesmisc #Streamerbot #Twitch #IndieCreators

Made a video about how soul sucking a job/capitalism can be, LITERALLY naming jobs I’ve actually done, including my military service. And some bootlicking trolls’ takeaways are that I’m lazy or scared of jobs. Lmao. Can’t make this up. Brain rot. youtu.be/PJtY8rkI1CQ?...

Played a game (Tower of Kalemonvo) that does a great job of capturing the essence and atmosphere of the original Diablo game. Though, it falls slightly short of providing a fresh take on the core gameplay mechanics. It's still a dope game, though! youtu.be/tFK6ZX4yzqQ

I’ve done it. I’ve been called a “zoomer” on YouTube by a channel called “FemboyCatGaming” who is a Leafy d-rider. I’ve peaked.

@kristala.bsky.social's Cat Soulslike "Kristala," received a content update in mid-February. I just published an EA review highlighting its potential and giving some critiques. Hopefully, I don't come off as too negative bc I think there's something here. youtu.be/c8RQWmy_PCA?...

STEAM NEXT FEST is almost over! I covered some demos, but at the very least, you can wishlist em. Some of the games covered: Support the devs below! (not all have a bluesky account) #IndieCreator www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOJC...

I'm LIVE: 'Let's Get Majima His Memory Back! | Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Day 2 | !vgq (video game quiz)' ...and playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii today! https://www.twitch.tv/jamesmisc #Streamerbot #Twitch #IndieCreators

I put together another video list of more indie game demos for your perusal! Also, support the devs: Neon Inferno - @retroware.bsky.social; Bloodthief - @blargis.bsky.social; Hypogea - (no account); Is This Seat Taken? - @wholesomegames.com #indiecreators #indiegames youtu.be/tO-jM1E9t6Y

These basement dwelling chuds are hilarious. “General consensus” and it’s a bunch of miserable, whiny lil bitches that cry at the sight of inclusion or anytime someone likes a game they don’t. Insulting my taste is funny. Y’all can’t even see my steam library. I promise it’s more diverse. #Avowed

I'm LIVE: 'This Game is OVERHATED (i'm alive) | !vgq (video game quiz)' ...and playing Avowed today! https://www.twitch.tv/jamesmisc #Streamerbot #Twitch #IndieCreators

After painstakingly making micro-adjustments to audio (and I prob could've kept going), I finally uploaded my Avowed review: youtu.be/-N5y3Rb0gpg

I’m having a blast with Avowed… kinda like this guy.

Hey so TEXNOPLAZM is pretty damn sick. #indiecreators #TEXNOPLAZM

I never understood the need for gamers to openly complain about “over saturated” genres. “Can we stop with the roguelites/soulslikes?!” Don’t play em? Not every game is for everyone, right? You’re also potentially missing out on a great experience. More for me then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here's a list of demos I've played for some cool upcoming indie games (and the devs behind them; go follow them!): @indipenguin.bsky.social , @goblinzstudio.com (publisher), @ghostwaredev.bsky.social, (Team Soda) #indiecreator #indiegames youtu.be/QmtTZaXyFd0?...

Hey so I posted a review of @ycjygames.bsky.social’s newest game Keep Driving. It’s a unique blend of RPG meets management—think FTL meets Oregon Trail, without the dysentery. #indiecreators #indiegames youtu.be/1pFFX3gwBbs

What are gamer’s current over obsession with open world exploration? Saw that interview with MinnMax about Avowed and SO many comments “welp no open world? No buy for me.” What a boring and limited way to experience games. Open worlds are overrated and hardly done right.

Sometimes I need to remind myself that gamers online are needlessly negative. On my hyper light breaker review, which I felt was a balanced take, someone said “wow this game looks and sounds like dog shit. I won’t be getting this one.” like lmao, OK, cool story bro.

So I finally got my review of Hyper Light Breaker by @heartmachine.bsky.social up. I feel like some of the negativity is a bit overstated, so I tried to approach it from an optimistic and measured angle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A09k...

we've been working on this road trip management rpg where you "battle" against mundane things on the road for the past 5ish years and as we're new to Blusky we'd really appreciate some help reaching out here too. If you see this please RT and share the summer road trip. 🫶 #keepdriving

Some indie games I think need more attention. Might make this a series and do more of this type of video. #Indiecreators #indiegames #indiegamer
