Admiring more strange and pretty 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, genuinely by chance, my eye was caught mostly by first-person shooters. Come for those, stay for the impressive puppet tech, the giant snake, the cute dog, and the colossal crocodile. Check out all these interesting and attractive indie games!
An excellent puppet test for some secret project (which might not even be a game?), and don’t missthis older tweet demonstrating sticky haireither:

Strong personality from the final boss in Coffeekind, a platformer being made as part of a game jam, which stars a boiling kettle with wee arms and legs:

Alright let’s begin the FPS stretch with an important demonstration of destruction from horror shooter Beneath (coming to Steam):

I can excuse the pun from Van Hellswing (coming to Steam, with a demoon Itchnow) because it has a grappling hook, and that’s all that really matters:

Whilethat bodycam FPShas excited many,goblinAmerica(coming to Steam) has an alternative to consider:
my game does not have a “hyperrealistic body cam aesthetic”. instead it has these three imps, who are guarding a cube#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/4n4o5GZKdE
I do not know whyNightmare Reaper(out now on Steam, andwe reviewed it last year) has a gun which fires pizzas, but I am glad they’re adding a variety of pizzas:
People love random projectiles, so we’re adding random projectiles… 🍕#screenshotsaturday#nightmarereaper#gamedev#indiedev#UE4#boomershooterpic.twitter.com/AEMlsm359u
An extremely cool addition to the extremely cool Ultrakill (available in Steam Early Access):
The Cyber Grind update will be out on the 27th, but for those who don’t play that mode, here’s something for you too:The SHARPSHOOTER variation.HD:https://t.co/rAMhqe56WuPierces enemies, ricochets off surfaces and destroys projectiles. And looks cool.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/HXiZsH72s2
More stylish supernatural violence from Voidborn (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Okay, time to pause with this borzoi inBrutalism22(out now on Steam), a “retro horror game about the war in Ukraine and brutalist architecture in Eastern Europe.”
