Aerial violence in a Wind Runners screenshot.

Asa fan of parrying projectiles, I do like thatTokyo Underground Killer(coming to Steam) demonstrates a risk around the reward of returning bullets with your katana:

I like this bendy boy in Punch Out ‘em upBig Boy Boxing(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Probably not a surprise thatWind Runners(coming to Steam) citesLuftrausersas an inspiration:

I always say I like an old-new comparison, so thanks to clean ‘em up Project Shoreline (free prototype available on Itch) for this one:

I could not tell you what it is, but I dig it:

Better make sure that you really want to shoot someone in No Vacation For An Executioner—and that you don’t miss:

Many games intentionally omitted the reloading of Flinklock guns (Bloodborne for exp), since it takes long time. But it’s so cool that I decide to keep it! It’s also an upperbody act that can be done when walking.#gamedev#indiegame#IndieGameDev#unity3d#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/gcLaps85Qv— Jay O (@JJWong34755181)April 13, 2024

I like that people are still feeling out ideas for how feathered dinosaurs should look, and I particularly like these chickeny feet in survival horror game Deathground (coming to Steam):

Meet the Juvenile Utah Raptor; they may lack the experience and size of their adult counterparts but they’re still a threat to fear!#ue5#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/ryB86A7bB8— Deathground | 🦖 Wishlist on Steam! (@deathgroundgame)April 13, 2024

Ultrakill (in early access on Steam) prepares for more ultraviolence:

The final variation: the SAWED-ON shotgun. Hold to saw, release to launch, Feedbacker to re-launch, Knuckleblaster to detach. Groovy.HD:https://t.co/yjiAvc2rMjThis and all the others coming VERY soon. Maybe next week? We’ll see…#screenshotsaturday#ULTRAKILLpic.twitter.com/3mGD2nkTLV— ULTRAKILL - LAYER 7: VIOLENCE OUT NOW (@ULTRAKILLGame)April 13, 2024

My withered ancient eyes can’t quite see what’s going on with the point defense system in A-Spec First Assault (in early access on Steam, with a demo there too) but I do like spacefights and I very much like slapping on a PDS:

I’m working on a Point Defence system for anti-missile protection. Entirely optional when made available, you can still use your skills to try and evade incoming threats.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/BHcMCIpVy0— Digitum Software (@digitumsoftware)April 13, 2024

Fightfans, do click on through to this thread for an explanation of this juggling violence in Traintracks Combat (coming to Itch), including phrases like “as the combo goes on, you’ll deal more horizontal knockback and less vertical knockback”:

I implemented a simple training mode display, which gives me a good opportunity to talk about some of the combo mechanics of Traintracks Combat! (Short 🧵)#screenshotsaturday#TraintracksCombat#indiefgc#fgcpic.twitter.com/FcljIIFENp— LANE❤️ (@_sunshinefgc)April 13, 2024

Low-fi dungeon crawling in Dragon Ruins (initial game jam version available on Itch):

Almost done testing. The Steam version of Dragon Ruins will feature 4 new monster types and 2 optional bosses.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/BfQZU8i8pK— Romanus Surt (@surt_r)April 13, 2024

And to close, it’s just Doom, don’t worry about it:

Some gameplay featuring my progress up to this point. I’ve completed all items, spells, and half of the enemies.#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#IndieGameDev#IndieDevs#gzdoom#surrealartpic.twitter.com/CBuJPKzgti— Allen Etcetera (@AllenThe_Etc)April 14, 2024
