A spooky ASCII art woman in Yelizaveta: The Labours of Misfortune.

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. Well, on Tuesday this week, thanks to the four-day Easter weekend. But the games look just as attractive and interesting as they did on Saturday, so what’s the hurry? Check these out!

Elevating action from this “retro-styled isometric simulation game”:

I added small indicator lights to the elevator entrances to show the elevator’s current direction. I guess this is how they are supposed to work? 🔽🔼#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#isometric#simulation#pixelart#indiedevpic.twitter.com/SlrraBUDCz— Hilko Janssen (@hilkojj)March 30, 2024

I like this nod toDeus ExinAquametsis(coming to Steam), a “blend of immersive sim, tactical FPS, and strategy set in a submerged corporate hellscape”:

I keep meaning to write about phenomenal browser game Corru.Observer (free to play through its site) so consider this a reminder to both of us:

The rude ‘tude is a little flat but I’m interested in beat ‘em up Thriller Night:

There’s a lot to understand here in roguelikelike Solitaire ‘em up Solitaire Battle (coming to Itch, with a demo there now) but after Luck Be A Landlord turned slot machines roguelikelike andBalatrodid the same with poker, sure I’m interested in more games in the same vein:

There’s a lot going on in this cutscene from magical girl bullet hell action-RPG Marmoreal (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
