Admiring indie games from Twitter’s weekend screenshot-o-rama
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. This past weekend was particularly fruitful, so enjoy a bumper-sized edition of Screenshot Saturday Mondays with all manner of cute frogs, stylish ultraviolence, dinosaurs cooking pizza, giant beasts to climb, and chill landscapes to roam.
I could watch the hero ofThe Milk Lake(coming to Steam) run past things forever, her careful little steps and reaching little arms:
