I go on Twitter 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 games with mechs, games set in space, games with aerial action, a game where you take photographs of draculas, and many more. Check out these attractive and interesting indie games!
Excuse me, hello, the position this mech pilot must assume:
Colours, lightning and fleshing out the demo level.#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#gamedev#IndieGameDev#indiegamespic.twitter.com/vwtP858X6F
While the look of mech shooter Lasting Blaze (in early access on Itch.io) instantly made me think of ye olde real-time strategy game Earth 2150:

Becrowned(coming to Steam) looks like one for fans of quiet mounds:
Still working on retro inspired survival horror game “Becrowned”.Here’re new screenshots from the game.#screenshotsaturday#survivalhorror#horror#IndieGameDev#indiegame#Unity#videogame#Gameplay#lowpoly#liminal#PSXpic.twitter.com/PFENAb9qvA
More retro-styled horror comes courtesy ofDracula Awakens(coming to Steam), where you bust monsters by taking their photos, though I’m not sure I’m meant to find this so erotic:

A splash more ultraviolence from this prototype (which reminds the dev of Prototype):
Trying out a city map, feels like Prototype 2!#indiedev#gamedev#indiegame#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/LZNmZkzFmi
The Zelda-inspired No More Fathers (coming to Steam) is also prototyping aerial action:
Happy#screenshotSaturdayJust been working on same basic elements of aerial combat, it’s got a long way to go but this is already a fun test!#gamedevpic.twitter.com/znVHSrDlLs
Taking to the air for more peaceful purposes, I’m very into this forestation:
Added altitude based tree spawning. Still wip tho.#screenshotsaturday#GodotEnginepic.twitter.com/D0OCZFejYc
Wet platforming inFrogun Encore(coming to Steam):
Watch out for slippery slides! 🐸💦#screenshotsaturday#lowpoly#gamedevpic.twitter.com/vmBa8Ks8bG
Look, I respect you too much to pretend I understand chess puzzler Beyond The Board:
A look inside at our test game level! ♟️🏁#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#Chess#madewithunitypic.twitter.com/nnGiQ46Snr
Is this curious beast from the “story-driven RPG deck-building” of Naratha (coming to Steam)… a toilet?:
First#ScreenshotSaturdayof this year!🥳We are back to working on Naratha’s enemies.⚔️💥The beasts who have been corrupted by mysterious power!#voxelart#indiedev#indiegamedev#gamedevpic.twitter.com/B6WtudizfC
The elemental violence ofHume Index(coming to Steam), an FPS with four-player co-op, is not what I’d expect from a game based on the SCP mythos:
In HUME INDEX, fire arms be packed with element like fire, lighting, helium. Elemental reaction are like superconductive, cold fusion….Wishlist:https://t.co/vxvmphWvo0#gamedev#IndieGameDev#screenshotsaturday#SCPFoundation#FPS#gamespic.twitter.com/QajrAWGUMt
Flipping out in sci-fi puzzle-platformerBionic Bay(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
We are currently working on spherical gravity. The transition from one miniplanet to another now works smoothly. You can also dash on a planet without falling, but jumping off will cause you to exit the modified gravity. 🌎#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/WmJ13kTjLK
Let’s continue the interplanetary fun with spaceship-building exploration game StellarDrive (prototype available on Itch.io):
Happy#screenshotsaturday! I’ve been working on dynamic planetary rings in my space game. Here’s what it looks like when inside.pic.twitter.com/gc9Co7wKV9
And a smidge more space from this game whichthe dev is “taking a break from"due to being “annoyed by Godot too much”:
Merry Christmas and have a few unreleased space station game shots 😊#screenshotsaturday#GodotEnginepic.twitter.com/VZHuAYBSzQ
Annnd let’s wrap up here because after seeing this from Corru.observer (play free in your browser) I must immediately go and check that out because whoa:
one of my favorite rooms currently inhttps://t.co/RAqRh0yixn, the ceiling does all the lifting in making the room seem curved (it’s HTML/CSS, so the walls are all flat and straight - the ceiling just has a border-radius set)#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/7gJ9qVOaSN
What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
