Nothing better than seeing a kid's smile while they're opening gifts

My nephew won't go to sleep because he's waiting for Santa to arrive so I think I'm in trouble haha

Happy holidays to all! Enjoy the season with your loved ones and make sure to get some gaming time in with your favorite titles #indiegame #indiedev

Magical girls, kittens, and an incredible RPG journey. Mirage Miracle Quest is a demo you need to play. It might look cute, but there is a surprisingly deep RPG under the surface. Try the demo now! It's only available until December 23 #indiegame #indiedev

Plan your cuts and build the perfect bento. For some reason, you can't rotate food in this world, so think ahead to make everything fit! Think of it as Tetris with food, haha. Try the Bento Blocks demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

TOEM 2 is high on my list for next year. The first was such a chill, exploration-focused experience, and I'm expecting more of that! A console release is planned, but nothing is confirmed yet #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

2026 is coming, and one of the games I'm most excited about is Zwaard. I love the mix of a post-apocalyptic world with advanced technology, and the fact that it's pixel art makes it even better for me #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

Play in an old arcade to earn tickets and improve run after run… or maybe you want to invest them in the virtual creature locked inside the room. Unshine Arcade is a very peculiar game full of mysteries. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

You have only one turn to think of the perfect card combination to defeat your enemy, otherwise your run is over. That's One Turn Kill, a very fun deck-building game that you can enjoy by playing its demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing this week Bearly Brave @o-culto.bsky.social - Heavenstrafer Pardon My French Toast Red Dawn @lukekdev.bsky.social - Summit Drive #indiegame #indiedev

Control Bulbo in Bulbo's Belief System and manage his knowledge to overcome different challenges. Forget what you know or learn it when it suits you. Not knowing about gravity might even make you float when you jump. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Colorbound is a puzzle game where you can make the invisible visible, or vice versa, by changing the colors of your environment or objects. Each ink can only be used once, so you need to think carefully about what to color. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Food, adventure, and combat are what you can expect in Town of Zoz next year. I really like the style of this game it looks like a cartoon, but not exactly. If you watch the trailers, you'll understand what I mean haha #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

It's impressive that Decrepit was developed by just one person. The release is planned for next year, so make sure to add it to your wishlist. Let's hope they didn't have to put their house on the line just to show the trailer haha #indiegame #indiedev

Don't miss the multiple showcases and events happening this week. There are a lot of announcements. You'll definitely end up adding some of the games they're showing to your wishlist #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist

Frog Knight is a platformer where you have to guide your character to the top by bouncing off green orbs with your sword. Everything seems simple… until you fall and watch your progress drop along with you haha. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Swan Song is a puzzle game set inside a music box, where you help a swan reach the exit. The box is filled not only with puzzles but also with secrets that reveal a touching story. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing this week @skatestory.com - Skate Story @angelineera.bsky.social - Angelina Era @dcellgames.com - UNBEATABLE @11bitstudios.bsky.social - Death Howl @heitordias.com - UniDuni @fayer.dev - PancitoMerge @goslimeygo.bsky.social - Go Slimey Go! Halchemist #indiegame #indiedev

I'm really looking forward to seeing everything Queen's Domain has to offer. It's a solid action RPG inspired by King's Field and Zelda. You don't get to feel the Zelda side much in the demo, but it definitely shows in the trailers #indiegame #indiedev

Divinum is a hack and slash with metroidvania elements that you're going to love once you try the demo. The controls feel so satisfying that they really encourage you to jump into fights without hesitation. Make a little time this weekend and give it a try! #indiegame #indiedev

I was watching the PC Gaming Show, and the moment I saw Inkblood I fell in love with it. It has a dark, mysterious style that I really enjoy in detective games. We won't have to wait long, since it's coming out in 2026 #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

Once you see all the MoN designs, it's impossible not to add Monsterpatch to your wishlist. I can't wait to see them fully develop all the goals they reached on Kickstarter, because it looks incredible #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

I really hope Bombservice continues the Momodora series, because it's one of the most underrated and well-made out there. Maybe Reverie Under the Moonlight is the most well-known, but believe me, every entry is great #indiegame #indiedev

These holiday days always make me think of three things: food, decorating, and cold weather. So, I thought it would be nice to share a few games that fit perfectly with that #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist

Rune Dice is like playing pool, but with dice. Match dice of the same type and trigger chain reactions to defeat your enemies. Don't worry too much about realistic physics, this is a world of magic haha. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

I didn't expect I'd get so hooked on managing an ant colony. Ant Colony: Wild Forest is a strategy game where you grow your colony and destroy enemy bases. Manage your base carefully, because you also need to protect your queen. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing this week @dotemu.bsky.social - MARVEL Cosmic Invasion @duha-the-best.bsky.social - Effulgence RPG Tingus Goose @dangen-ent.bsky.social - Kingdom of Night Toy Smash Kaboom! @squishedy.bsky.social - Away From Home #indiegame #indiedev

Alruna: End of History is a very unique metroidvania. There's a contrast between our protagonist and the world around him that really makes you feel what the game is aiming for. I never played the first one, but I think I should take a look at it #indiegame #indiedev

You can't miss the Kero Quest 64 demo. It's one of the platformers I'm most excited for in 2026. The gameplay is great, the abilities feel incredibly polished and combining them lets you reach almost anywhere. It's really fun #indiegame #indiedev

The amount of time and effort it must take to achieve Barraka's visual style has to be extraordinary. Add it to your wishlist on your platform of choice. Luckily, it's coming to all of them. We just don't know when yet haha #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

SOULGRAVE is one of those games where the more gameplay and characters I see, the more I want to play it. I also like that the developer is very active on social media, though I hope it doesn't take too much time away from development haha #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

Listen to people's feedback it's important, even when it's negative. Digital Sun has handled this well with Moonlighter 2. Early Access is tough, and fixing player concerns is even tougher. They've done great work before, so don't be too hard on them haha #indiegame #indiedev

D-Pad Studio has some of the best pixel art I've seen in the industry. Sometimes in Owlboy I would just stop and stare at the scenery without playing at all haha. I hope that doesn't happen to me in Vikings on Trampolines or I'm going to lose matches #indiegame #indiedev

Give your favorite developers a bit more visibility by adding their games to your wishlist. It's one of the most important metrics that can help define a game's success #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist

Taste of Heaven is a cooking game that's very different from anything you've probably played. It’s an RPG with roguelite elements set in a world of spirits and gods. Food is culture, and this game captures that beautifully. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

The Go Slimey Go! demo really won me over. The level design has a great foundation, and everything feels very varied despite having only a few mechanics. Add to that some great music and pixel art, and it becomes genuinely fun #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing this week @constancegame.bsky.social - Constance @silverliningint.bsky.social - Captain Wayne @traindetective.bsky.social - Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved @ayagames.bsky.social - Ayasa: Shadow of Silence Death in Abyss Light Up The Town #indiegame #indiedev

Try to build the tallest tower you can and uncover the mysteries of the sky. Your materials aren't infinite, but if you build in the right way, you might earn more. The Cloudscrapers demo has such a simple concept, yet it's executed so well that I loved it #indiegame #indiedev

The Lelu demo is finally out! I'm sure fans of games like Zelda will love it. In this adventure, you play as a little clockwork toy that has gained consciousness and must navigate the toy factory while overcoming various obstacles #indiegame #indiedev

I don't usually play a lot of co-op games, but playing as a puppy in a horror game with a friend sounds like a total blast. Haunted Paws has a really promising concept. I really hope they succeed, because making online games is tough #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

CannonHead is still in a pretty early stage of development, but I already love everything the developer has shown. I really like how the gameplay fits so well with that 1930s cartoon aesthetic #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

Spooky Doorway has made an impressive leap from their Dark Detective series to The Séance of Blake Manor. I have no idea what they'll make next, but if their future games are as good as this one, they're definitely going to get the recognition they deserve #indiegame #indiedev

Valdis Story: Abyssal City was one of the first indie games that proved you don't need a big name to create a gem. Endlessfluff Games showed the same talent with Fae Tactics. I'm not sure why they changed their name, but their skill is still clear #indiegame #indiedev

The end of the year is near, and there are still plenty of games coming out. Don't forget to support them by adding your favorites to your wishlist #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist

Combining Suika Game mechanics with deck-building is a winning combo. But the best part of Dogpile? It's packed with cute dogs. You don't need anything else. Try the demo now! #indiegame #indiedev

The Hope Timbre demo felt brilliant to me. It takes the complexity of puzzle games into a comfortable space, where the art and music guide you naturally. Making something this polished look simple just shows there's very experienced talent behind it #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing this week @bluebackpack.bsky.social - The Berlin Apartment @forestrike.bsky.social - Forestrike Morsels @kingdomsofthedump.bsky.social - Kingdoms of the Dump Fatal Claw @necrosoftgames.com - Demonschool Moonlighter 2 Neon Inferno #indiegame #indiedev

Hellbound Inc puts you right into the horrors of hell as a delivery messenger. Your path to deliver the packages won't be easy, there are traps, puzzles, and, hardest of all, a Jump King style platforming system. Try not to lose your mind in this demo #indiegame #indiedev

There's always something charming about looking at the world in miniature, and Elusive is the perfect game for that kind of experience. We don't have a release date yet, but as I always say, art takes time, haha #indiegame #indiedev #visibilityUP

There are many creative people in the world of game development, but what Daniel Mullins Games does is on another, almost incomprehensible level. Maybe we're more familiar with it now, but back then, Pony Island could really make you question your own computer, haha #indiegame #indiedev
