Admire these interesting and attractive 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. This week’s selection is a bit small because Twitter is throwing another technical wobbly and refusing to show the full weekend’s posts, but the games are still good! Come enjoy town-building, a little snail, and a great deal of violence in this week’s selection.
I’m quite curious about the scale and focus of city build-o-management simMetropolis 1998(coming to Steam), zoomed in enough to see individual rooms and pieces of furniture. Apparently citizens will follow individual needs to work, sleep, relax, eat, and so on, so I look forward to picking a favourite computer person to spy on.

More building comes from theTownscaper-lookin’Monterona(coming to Steam), which also has your grandma tell you stories about the places you’re building, and apparently lets you explore my town in first-person, which I’m well up for:
If you are wondering what happens if you jump off the edge - don’t worry, you’ll be fine!#gamedev#gamedesign#indiegame#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/p1FVYxccKn
A cooperative survival game where 2-4 players must survive a demonic encounter by either escaping a mansion or evading the creature until dawn sounds kinda neat, but to have that happen when you came in as thieves on a heist? I really dig your premise,Dark Hours(coming to Steam):
Let’s play a little game… 😱Will you be able to find where is the monster in this video?Comment when you found it! 👀#ScreenshotSaturday#horrorgame#indiedevpic.twitter.com/OXnTJDDk7l
Dashing through violence in “roguelite action platformer"Stand-Alone(coming to Steam):
[The Essence of Action Games?]Boss battles are key in action games. Here’s a video of our newly redesigned boss fight - it’s thrilling and tons of fun😎😎😎#indiegames#gamedev#indiedev#pixelart#IndieGameDev#STAND_ALONE#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/TnTiNopDuO
I’m not sure why dungeon crawler Liberta: Rise Of Freedom (coming to Steam) focuses on a boring skeleton-stabbing animation in half this clip when the other half includes some of the most brutal person-set-on-fire special effects I’ve seen in a while:

A cute look to deck-building roguelikelike tactical RPG Shuffle Tactics (coming to Steam):

Dramatic violence in hack ‘n’ slash The Segment Twins (coming to Steamthis week, a demo there now):

A fast enemy with powerful melee attacks can be terrifying in a first-person shooter, as Ghostware: Arena Of The Dead (in early access on Steam) demonstrates:

A sassy friend-shaped robot (inspired by a Looney Tunes cartoon) for immersive sim Spectra:
wanted to take a break from optimizing models today, so i made this sassy little robot- thoughts of using this guy as an enemy type?#gamedev#imsim#indiegame#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/mC0sZC42PD
A reluctance to drive forwards in Victory Heat Rally (coming to Steam):
Hope your Saturday is chill!❄️🧊#screenshotsaturday🍧🏔️pic.twitter.com/aEviKDTU4i
And let’s close with this poor little snail in Peter Shorts:
Snail Peter (or “Peesnail”) always has its guard up. It’ll only attack after a successful block (or if you end up in tumble state!)#PeterShorts#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/sYnTxCWy5T
What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
