Empty cities, unnatural water parks, and more 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, we’re even heavier on vibes and moods than usual, and with only one retro-styled FPS for once! The vibes are plentiful and they are powerful and I hope you enjoy this latest selection of interesting and attractive indie games.
Whoa:

I already enjoyedclimbing a Brutalist tower in first-person platformer Beton Brutal(out now on Steam) and am very interested in exploring some sort of unreal water park too, presumably with an upcoming update or something?

A striking style to this (yes, the devs plan to add a walking animation so your shadow isn’t A-posing):

Alright let’s take a violence break, starting with this interesting idea for a ringleader enemy in retro-styled FPSCalcium Contract(coming to Steam):
This guy makes other enemies synchronize their attacks by drumming and can slow you down, effectively making the rest of the world go faster from your perspective.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/U5Kv8vh7Fc
I like this move in VR shooter Gunday, but part of me does think it’s not right if the player isn’t doing an actual one-handed cartwheel handstand in their living room:
New move added! You can now handstand during a cartwheel by grabbing the floor#VR#VirtualReality#UE5#UnrealEngine#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/7dCoxDlEDF
