It's week 03 of 2026 and I got great games for you! This weeks release Big Hops! As well as Trimjob, Baba is you and ENA: Dream BBQ! Still working on my Thumbail skills but I am quite satisfied with this one! What do you think? freakingindie.com/indie-week-03/

Inti Creates are one of the most consistently good lower-mid budget studios out there, which sounds like damning with faint praise, but I always have fun with their stuff. Nothing is going to be transcendent or life-changing, but they just make fun, extremely anime games that are *just* big enough.

We’re on sale for our biggest discount yet: 35% off! Game Informer said 1000xRESIST is “one of the most groundbreaking stories in video game history.” So run, don’t walk, to grab our Peabody award-winning game!

Excited to share the☠️ Cursed Rat 🐀animation in #nekrolith! I've been told this doesn't quite look rat-y enough. Granted it's a deformed rat but what should I change to have it look more rat-y? 😜 Will post more enemy WIP soon! #2danimation #animation #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #videogames

When I say vertical, I mean VERTICAL. The series has largely flown under the radar because stealth games are a hard sell, but just LOOK at these maps! It's very Thief'y. And as you're a horrible goblin, you don't have to feel bad about stabbing people! There's a third game due out in a month.

You have just 1 week to play Perfect Tides before the sequel, Perfect Tides: Station to Station comes out! The games can be enjoyed out of order, but what better way to spend the week? store.steampowered.com/app/1172800/...

played the full demo last night and i’ll probably play again this weekend to see if i can hit bigger combos 😏 GO PLAY FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE NOW!

Studio Supersoft announced its next game 'Moonstone Academy'.

I fortunately haven't seen any "3D platformers are dying / dead" claims lately, but just in case that claim's still lingering, here's a list of *some* of the 3D platformers that are (as far as I'm aware) currently slated to release in 2026. Or already have, in the case of Big Hops.

Like always, if you like my stuff pls consider to give it a like/repost so more people can find my stuff. Word of mouth is the best thing for accounts like mine! Hope you have a nice weekend! :) [2/2]

Yo! It's #GamingNewsRecap day! This week Amazon announced the shutdown of New World, Ubisoft laid off people again, Meta killed 3 studios and I'm sure there are also some positive news. [1/2] 6 pages:

Horror fans! There's a game called Without a Dawn, which I released last May, that I 100% believe deserves more attention.

Happy launch day! So excited to play it!

Water fountains are a little different in Danchi Days! Press X in front of one for a surprise~ You’ll be teleported to another area! 🛸˚₊‧

Hey, I just noticed that Hellsinker is on sale. One of the most SICKOS.JPG shmups ever made. Even the people who claim to understand it will go into a glassy-eyed trance when asked to explain how the level progression works, or the finer points of scoring. And never, ever ask about the story.

He's not like that. 📣 The first episode of WHODUNNIT, "Hitting Singles", will release soon in Steam and Itch for free! Stay tuned for more information, and make sure to wishlist the game to be notified when it releases! store.steampowered.com/app/3851280/... #fvn #furry #indiegame #whodunnitvn

It's the first Wishlist Wednesday of 2026! Let's fill those lists up with indies we'd love to play this year. From time-bending to block shooting, Medieval undead to peaceful building, there's an indie for everyone.

Subtle, quiet, dark, mature, and thought-provoking visual horror novel. More of an experience than a game: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Late evening or night, and headphones are heavily recommended! 1⃣5⃣ #visualnovel #indiegame #horrorgame #gamedev

Another demo to check out *__*

So hyped for January 12. The demo reminded me of my time playing Spyro which is always a win! store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/Big_Hops

I played way too many games in 2025, but there are still SO many that I never got a chance to try despite them looking great. Traveler's Refrain looks like a seriously slick Zelda/Alundra-ish thing.

That's some nice news - the excellent platform roguelite Blazblue: Entropy Effect released on consoles recently, with a completely different/new story mode based more directly on the Blazblue fighting games/visual novels. They've announced that PC & Console versions will update to have both stories
