I’ve been a bit lukewarm onKiller Bean(coming to Steam), having previously only seen its third-person camera mode, but this first-person action is oh hello:

Good sounds too in his mouthy bit of Panthalassa, “a point and click puzzle game about being lost underwater”:

I’ve adored the low-fi look of the Pixel Pulps series (those out so faravailable on Steam) and the next certainly seems to continue that:

What is this,Ants Took My Eyeball(coming to Steam, with a demo there now)? A bolt-action rifle for ants?

I’m predicting a lot of fan art for this boss from “bullet hell dungeon crawler"Cyber Strike(coming to Steam):

This skittering spider is impressive/alarming so, you know, don’t click if you don’t like dreadful beasties with too many fast little legs:

here’s a silly lil procedurally animated flying spider 🕷️I made for fun in UE5 recently for a quick game project with friends!I also may have given him a crab rave dance hehehe 🦀#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#UE5#indiegame#gamedevpic.twitter.com/VYsyUlamw3— Utkarsh Dwivedi (@d_utkarsh3997)April 7, 2024

I looked up from this screenshot of cat-photographing “casual adventure game"Neko Odyssey(coming to Steam) to see my own cat asleep with her little head resting on a boot in my hall so I guess I can’t go out until she’s up:

I do like having a “Get ‘em!” key in games, so I appreciate this effort from roguelikelike plane game Nova Squadron (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Don’t want to deal with some pesky enemies yourself? Just press the (WIP) Fire Support button and the nearest available units will do it for you!Just, y’know, don’t do what I did and get so distracted you forget to dodge incoming missiles.#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/QZttuT0YIe— Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.2.0 out now!

Any excuse to post Ryan Corniel’s real-time puppetry, even if this bit does predate plans for using it in games:

Before we started thinking about games I was making some silly fight performances. Recording these were pretty fun (no sound)#screenshotsaturday#unreal#RealTime#puppets#boxingpic.twitter.com/6y2Z3fYkCm— Ryan Corniel (@DukeGunston)April 7, 2024

Mention Metal Gear Rising: Revengance and I’m in, Godgear Ragdrahod:

You can often tell a lot about games from their UI, about what they prioritise and how you’ll interact with everything, and I must say I am taken with the mood of the real-time portrait camera in this horror game:

Good morning#screenshotsaturday, here’s the UI I’ve been working on, portrait camera is back!#indiedev#indiegame#gamedev#pointandclick#adventuregame#lucasarts#silenthill#kingsquest#pixelart#retrogaming#90s#horrorgame#horror#pcgaming#dos#windows95#steamboatwilliepic.twitter.com/dvP7Imuiua— Ryan Warner (@rtwarnergamedev)April 6, 2024

God help me, one day I really must post properly about Ctrl Alt Ego (out now onSteamandGOG), an immersive sim all about slinging your computerised consciousness between different robots and systems:

NewGame+ is coming to Ctrl Alt Ego a little over a week from now.Includes a new gravity manipulation ability which means, amongst other things: FLYING DADs#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/nrL12oAAWm— Ctrl Alt Ego: The Sci-fi Poltergeist Simulator (@mindthunk)April 6, 2024

And now we’ve flung objects about with gravity manipulation, here’s some weirdness with magnetic magic:

And with spring supposedly starting annny day now, let’s close with a quick trip through the seasons in medieval fantasy RPG life sim Mirthwood (coming to Steam):

Each season in Mirthwood adds its own charm and challenges coupled with the dynamic weather system. Snowy winters, sunny summers, and breezy springs with rain showers will all be part of the experience.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/b5y9zqwyt1— Mirthwood 🍃 (@MirthwoodGame)April 6, 2024
