I go on Twitter to find indie games so you don’t have to
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, my eye has been caught by tea-brewing adventure game mishaps, low-fi city-building, the ubiquitous cool violence, a lovely bucket of fish, and heaps more. Check out these attractive and interesting indie games!

The real question for action-RPG Rifted Worlds is whether you’ll leave this accidental sequence break in the game:
Reposting this small sequence break I found. Sometimes these are intentional, but a lot of them sneak through!#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/08Z8o96HvU
I do enjoy seeing special effects in isolation, like this impressive spiralling hoof from arcade football ‘em upDash Cup Kickers(in early access on Steam):

Committing this anime violence looks impressive, though I think I object so strongly to having my movement hindered in first-person games that I’m leery of how it might feel to receive:
