Returning to look at more indie games
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.
Bodysurfing ultraviolence in this yet-untitled action game looks downright ridiculous, though I’m also interested in the garish skybox with a mishmash of branding and roads like a megacity-sized strip mall:

The best sheet ghost I’ve seen was Halloween a few years back, outside a student pub on Edinburgh’s Cowgate, about 2 in the morning. The ghost stood in the road, wavering gently, staring straight ahead for a good five minutes. Either it was a mild haunting or a poor lad absolutely smashed out his gourd, just waiting for someone to lead him home. So, trust my expertise when I say this is a good sheet ghost:

Some cracking kicking in this FPS prototype:

I’m also a sucker for dramatic warpspeeds, wormholes, and stargates. I do appreciate these jumpgate animations from open-world space shooterUnderspace:
Reanimating some jumpgates. I bet spiders built these ones.#underspace#gamedev#unity3d#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#indiegame#madewithunity#indiegamedev#spacegame#space#gamedevelopmentpic.twitter.com/T4PeWZ1tff
I do like the colours here in Nero’s Adventure, a physics puzzle-y game starring a mutated anglerfish:

Some lovely fish also in No More Flat Days:

JRPGs aren’t my bag but I still enjoyed the vintage stylings of Infinite Mana:

Bounce Castle takes a boardgame look in an interesting direction with animation on its pieces and good goop from this slime:
Aw dang, I’m SO GOOPED! Get me away from this slime guy before he hits me with that massive spoon! Where… where did he get a spoon?#screenshotsaturday#unity3d#videogames#indiegame#indiedev#pcgaming#goop#physics#strategygame#steamgamespic.twitter.com/5t1OTpiXjY
Sorry, to end I do have to loop back to the start for this gun which creates grinding rails:
this gun was originally intended for portal style logic puzzles lol#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/w6zdAQ661K
Any other games catch your eye this weekend, reader dear?
