Admire this selection of 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, my eye has been caught byMoebius-styled violence, a big bat, aDevil Daggersdemake, a miniature mech, and heaps more. Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games!
I had wondered about the name of horror shooterSamurai Unicorn(coming to Steam) and sure, I guess this does explain that other half in part, a bit:
Every time new people find us through the gunplay teasers, they seem really confused by the name… So here’s some WIP gameplay of the Unicorn abilities in a newly completed area of the Goliath Offices.#screenshotsaturday#IndieDevs#lowpolypic.twitter.com/YpBMw8IouE
An intense battle (bat, yeah?) in roguelikelike twin-stick shooter Star Of Providence:
This next enemy is crazy. Absolutely insane. Batty, if you will.#ScreenshotSaturday#StarOfProvidencepic.twitter.com/sE0n6fIGJi
Given how much Xtal (coming to Steam) reminds me of gentle explore ‘em upSable, what with both drawing from the style of French artist Moebius, it is surprising to see cool violence in this style:
Watch the Seeker unleash a variety of dynamic melee attacks and change up the moveset in this sneak peek! ⚔️💥#IndieGame#GameDev#IndieDev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/333qr0VDEL
Cute bants in the “musical, hand-drawn adventure"Koira(coming to Steam):
We’re filling the world with little interactions to have with the dog, like snowball fights🤭#IndieGame#ScreenshotSaturday#Indiedev#GodotEngine#Koira#2danimation#cutepic.twitter.com/q5Tp2XQeEq
A nice spot of downtime in metroidvania Being And Becoming (coming to Steam), though I hope the statue has a bit more life in the finished game:
Who said there can’t be moments of peace and quiet in the Collective Dream? ✨#metroidvania#pixelart#animation#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#ドット絵#像素艺术#픽셀아트pic.twitter.com/riypz9su2E
Lo-fi warbling in Demi Daggers, seemingly a demake of the delightful Devil Daggers (from a dev who has previouslydemade Doom, Another World, and more):
Good times for a spooky#pico8game teaser 🎃Sound design@ridgekuhn#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/eQ4mLzbjVA
Can’t believe sci-fi adventure game Enigma Station (coming to Steam) papped me deep in thought with my galaxy brain:
Enter the Noosphere 🌌#ScreenshotSaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/Lrh80wwhDw
What a cheery minimech in Jetpack Squad:
Yes, mini mech. Had too much fun tuning the physics model, and then modelling it inside out. Fully procedural, physics based.#madewithunity#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#mechpic.twitter.com/2PEm4lLvwd
I dolike an improvised environmental weaponso I appreciate this trash can Captain America action in Fallen Aces (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Trash can lids double as a shield and a frisbee.#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#FPSpic.twitter.com/utYaHg9Ou3
The second room here from metroidvania platformer The Nexatli Expedition (demo available here) made me rememberWhitaker Wright’s underwater ‘ballroom’and frankly that would be reason enough to share this:
If you have enough life you can dive a little longer than usual.That can easily lead you to some early power-ups, but also some very weird-looking places.#screenshotsaturday#UE5#metroidvaniapic.twitter.com/sD0Iy9jqaf
I’m glad that action-RPG Rifted Worlds will let me truly inhabit my character as my real-world self:
Finally, you can fulfill your fantasy of being a terrible houseguest!#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/rqjCBNnfqB
These ten words and 11 seconds certainly have my interest:

I always appreciate low-tech solutions as much as high-tech flash, like these spindle ‘waterfalls’ in diorama builder Islands & Trains (coming to Steam):
still dabbling with my mesh-rotating waterfall setup due to no shader understanding whatsoever 🫠😂#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/ql5L0UDHTz
I really like the idea and the visual of summoning my own personal moon for guidance and violence, as seen in the latest dev vlog from this yet-unnammed (I think?) Southern Gothic FPS:
Showing off the new cave dungeon with the Familiar and Lunar Reflection spells. Familiar summons a spirit-wolf companion. Lunar Reflection summons a mini-moon that mixes with your torpefy spell. Many new textures and sounds are on display too.#screenshotsaturday#gzdoom#gamedevpic.twitter.com/4bFDKuIRPt
Let’s close out with over-enthustiastic physics (and solid joke timing) from “casual fishing simulation” Aquamariner (coming to Steam):
GOOD MORNING#ScreenshotSaturday! I tried to work on some floating log physics and um…yeah…Show us your#indiegame! ⛵️🦐LIKE🐠REPLY🍥RETWEET🪼FOLLOW#indiegame#indiegamedev#gamedev#steam#gamedevelopment#game#madewithunitypic.twitter.com/qGAiGOnRvU
