Brotato goes toe-to-(pota)toe with Vampire Survivors and others in the genre. Excellent escalation by @evilempirestudio.bsky.social and company... #Brotato #VampireSurvivors #Megabonk #IndieGaming #GamePass

Banjo-Kazooie: I still have to go back around once a year (in no small part because of @grantkirkhope.bsky.social's banger of a soundtrack) #BanjoKazooie #BanjoTooie #N64 #nintendo64 #3dplatformer @rare.co.uk

I played Slay The Spire (by @megacrit.com) after 3 years of Hearthstone. I loved HS, no regrets. But playing STS after was realising you can get 1000% more for about 3% of the cost. Brought out proper, ultra-fun obsessiveness to beat The Heart with all 4 characters. Only @playbalatro.com competes.

You recommended I AM YOUR BEAST for some great-feeling movement in an FPS. You were very right (thank you!) @strangescaffold.bsky.social @frostypopgames.bsky.social #IndieGaming #IndieGames #FPSGames #Iamyourbeast #FPSGaming

Portal. Another all-timer satisfying game mechanic. #Portal #Portal2 #Portals #Valve #PCGaming @valvesoftware.com

🍄Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker🍄 is a beautiful underrated gem #WiiU #NintendoSwitch #3DS #CaptainToad #CaptainToadTreasureTracker

Post Void by @ycjygames.bsky.social is psychedelic, frantic, addictive madness. #PsychedelicArt #IndieGaming #IndieGames #PostVoid #FPSGames

A Short Hike remains a cosy joy. An hour or two of fun and relaxation waiting for you. @adamgryu.bsky.social #IndieGaming #CosyGames #CosyGaming #Itchio #ItchioGames

Wonder = best 2D Mario, for me. Pays off decades of great games all at once. If you disagree, which is better and why? #SuperMarioWonder #SuperMarioWorld #SuperMarioMaker #SuperMarioBros3 #NewSuperMarioBros

Super Meat Boy still slaps. Amazing feeling platforming. @supermeatboy.bsky.social @dannybstyle.bsky.social @dannybstyleband.bsky.social #SuperMeatBoy #SuperMeatBoy3d #SuperMeatBoyForever #Platformer #IndieGaming

@cyrylsz-dev.bsky.social I was just playing the board game of Wingspan last night, I'll have to check out your work :-)

HYPER DEMON looks and plays like nothing else. (Except maybe looking a little bit like Skate Story, now I think about it...) #HyperDemon #DevilDaggers #IndieGaming #IndieGamer #IndieGames

Spilled! deserves more love. Very satisfying, ultra-relaxing, short and sweet, and a good cause. @gamesforwaves.bsky.social #gamesforwaves #spilledgame #cozygamer #cozygame #cozygaming

Neon White - I'm yet to find a first-person game where the movement feels better. @annapurna.com #NeonWhite #Speedrunning #IndieGaming #IndieGame #NintendoSwitch

Boomerang X is a beautiful-looking, lovely-moving shooting range. A shame we won't get more from DANG! @devolverdigital.com @samsuite.bsky.social @smaxophone.bsky.social #Devolver #DevolverDigital #BoomerangX #IndieGame #IndieGames #IndieGaming #SteamDeck

3D World (and Land) seem weirdly underrated compared to the other 3D Mario games... #SuperMario3DWorld #SuperMario3DLand #SuperMario3DWorldandBowsersFury #NintendoSwitch #WiiU

🚀 Minishoot Adventures 🚀 is in the absolute top-tier of Metroidvanias. The pace of progression, secrets, puzzles etc. is perfectly pitched. Also, the shooting feels like proper fireworks in your brain @indieark.bsky.social #MinishootAdventures #SoulgameStudio #Shmup #Metroidvania #Shmups #SteamDeck

@chipzel.bsky.social I appreciate the repost, thank you. Loving your work :-)

⚽️ Sensible Soccer ⚽️ is still more fun than FIFA / EA FC and Pro Evo / eFootball #SensibleSoccer #SWOS #FootballGames #RetroGames #Retrogaming

Keep moving, don't get hit. Super Hexagon by @terrycavanaghgames.com absolutely slaps. Especially with @chipzel.bsky.social's soundtrack. #Chiptune #ChipTunes #Indiegame #IndieGaming #IndieGames #SuperHexagon

If you grew up playing and loving ⚽️ football ⚽️ and the #WorldCup then Despelote is a game for you. It's a nostalgic, uniquely great-looking narrative-kickabout. @despelote.game #IndieGames #IndieGaming #SteamDeck #Ecuador #Soccer

This isn't the game you think it is. It's The Looker (🔊 SOUND ON for a genius maze puzzle) If you loved The Witness you'll love this. Proper laughs and affectionate parody. #TheWitness #TheLooker #SteamDeck

RACCOIN is a coin-pusher roguelike and that's me hooked on another one then. @raccoingame.bsky.social @playstack.com #Coinpusher #Roguelite #SteamDeck

Metal Slug is still the g.o.a.t. run 'n 'gunner. The game I've completed the most times in my life. Never gets old. #MetalSlug #NeoGeo #SNK #NintendoSwitch #SteamDeck

I loved Children of the Sun. I’m not into dark games at the mo, but COTS’s scuzzy, buzzing commitment to it all - with the brilliant bullet-bending conceit - makes it totally thrilling. A good length and great finale level too, nails the landing. @devolverdigital.com #SteamDeck #ChildrenOfTheSun

Lonely Mountains Downhill is magic. Looks, sounds, feels so great that the inevitable falling down is ok, cos you’re outside in glorious fresh air. All that lovely slapstick & enjoyable perseverance too. @megagonindustries.bsky.social @thunderfulgames.bsky.social #NintendoSwitch #SteamDeck

Found this 3" CPC diskette at the inlaws'.

I wish Jackbox Games would make a You Don’t Know Jack UK sequel and get Paul Kaye back as Jack. @jackboxgames.com #YouDontKnowJack #JackboxPartyPack #YDKJ

Still one of the most satisfying game mechanics ever, from The Unfinished Swan #PS3 #PS4 #GiantSparrow #TheUnfinishedSwan

#Resogun is still one of the fittest, greatest games ever made. I must get to #Returnal at some point #Housemarque #PS3 #Shmups

Folks were right: what a lovely looking and feeling thing Skate Story is. @skatestory.com @bysameng.com @devolverdigital.com #SteamNextFest #SteamDeck #SteamNextFest2025 #SkateStory

Turnip Mountain is ace. Donkey Kong: King of Swing feels, but evolved. The most fun I've had with a demo this #SteamNextFest Nice work @lukesanderson.bsky.social :-) #SteamNetxtFest2025 #SteamDeck

Extremely rare b-roll footage of an Electronics Boutique in late 1994 or early 1995. Enjoy it! I found this among 40TB of files from Digital Pictures' archive.

Yep. Normal game. #TingusGoose #SteamNextFest

I've never felt so left out from the almost universal love for a game as I do with Hades ☹️ I can see it's excellent in so many ways. I know that many people can't be wrong. But I've tried it about 5 times now and each time feel nothing that has me think 'this is about to click' 😐 Good dog, though.

Kids these days and their brainrot skibidi "6 7" ohio memes, back in my day we had GOOD brainrot memes like badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom
