The Last Salvage Squad dropped. Loved the demo. It's an arcade-style FPS with short stages and more than a little Earth Defense Force inspiration. You play as a squad of giant robot women fighting off aliens seemingly long after humanity went extinct. But you only have one gun between all of you.

Oh wow, yeah. I've only just scratched the surface of it by End Of Starchild feels like it might be one of the coolest things ever made with the Doom engine? Fully freeware and standalone. msx.horse/eos/ All these screenshots are from the same game It's seemingly a followup to 2021's Time Tripper

Absolum by @dotemu.bsky.social, @guardcrushgames.bsky.social & @supamonksstudio.bsky.social Absolute banger of a demo, the game released in October 2025. Top tier artstyle, top tier soundtrack and the gameplay meshes pretty well. Also it's like they beamed Karl right out of my head into a videogame

"This turns each conversation into its own canvas, oozing with paint and style." Check out one of my favourite games this year by @iodinex64.bsky.social freakingindie.com/indie-journa...

This is legit one of my favourite platformers of the past few years. Grab it while it's free and buy the sequel when it comes out if you like it.

Stealing @artistmarkflynn.bsky.social 's idea and putting out the call that, with Vivarium announced, someone could do a video covering that, Wander Stars, and Orbitals in the loose genre of "3D games rendered to look like 80s OVAs on VHS"

Can we just talk about how well Cuphead's design translated to the 80s mascot style in that new game's teaser?

Been mostly focused on cutscenes the last week or so as well as some admin stuff behind the scenes. There should *hopefully* be a lot of cool stuff happening in late June early July so stay tuned. Here's a little bit of gameplay cause y'all deserve a little treat. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

If you somehow missed Burden Street Station, here’s your opportunity to redeem yourself! We’ve got new bundles for this fresh release with some kick-ass indie gems. Check the thread for more info, or you'll go bald within an hour!

I've been loving every minute of this so far. This game won't appeal to everyone but it feels tailor made for me. My only gripe so far is that the music is so good and somber like a beautiful lullaby that it makes me drowsy. It's sooo good. Will definitely write about the game soon.

We've teamed up with Burden Street Station in a Bundle! So not only can you now unravel a political conspiracy you can also shapeshift during conversations to uncover how God went missing! Check out the bundle here: https://bit.ly/4dxBaDK

ENTROPY is our child of love, and it's getting so much of our passion and ideas poured into it that I REALLY hope you will give our demo a chance, so it could possibly speak to you and your tastes -- both in gameplay and storytelling! steamcommunity.com/app/3940340/...

'Wild Blue Skies' launches August 13th on Xbox Series, PS5 and PC. youtu.be/TdRggRKhNMk

Played a bit more of this. If you like exploring weird, semi-abstract virtual spaces, it's a joy. Like the first game, it starts out in a gigantic tower which can be fully explored outside and in, but it's just the central structure in a big overworld. Hits the same notes as Valkyrie Saga for me.
