Our pick of interesting indie games from Twitter’s weekend screenshot-o-rama
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 a great deal of stylish action, some cool animations, and some wonderful/horrible claymation effects. Check ‘em out!
Accurate and horrifying physics in Super Clay Boy (follow on IndieDB), made by the main 3D artist ofInscryption:

A striking first-person swordfight with a grappling hook and big dashes:
Phase one of the boss fight is pretty much done!https://t.co/pZ67QYVh6R#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#madewithunitypic.twitter.com/5q83slZAs4
Another sword duel, this one with a lot more posing:

A cute attack animation idea for an angry amanita in 2D platformer Color Story: Pixa’s Quest (coming to Steam):
Had fun with this attack animation for the mushroom enemy. Idea is he squishes down and launches his cap at you before coming back up and growing a new cap#indiegames#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/tOfKgc7fF5
Speaking of cute attack animations, I dig these prone slideshoots from StarIliad, a metroidvania set inside a giant space whale:

A good (bad) mood from post-apocalyptic car combat gameFumes(paid pre-alpha availableon Itch):

Flawless Abbey(coming to Steam) is a curious one:
The Star Key plays it’s brittle melody — pay attention to its notes so you don’t break it! ✨#indiedev#gameart#gamedev#unreal#UnrealEngine#indiegame#screenshotsaturday#dev#art#indie#game#gamingpic.twitter.com/TUfhwJgARH

I adore how much tying strings to thumbsticks totally changes the vibe of the motion:
You know I can’t resist nice water, like this in Mika And The Witch’s Mountain (coming to Steam):
can we make a game inspired by Zelda Wind Waker in Unity? well, we start with a nice water shader 🌊#indiegame#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/kMAg1H7eez
An almost distractingly pretty background from a non-stealth moment in “fast-paced stealth game” Project Neo Chaos:
Some enemies you’ll have to face head-on…#screenshotsaturday#pixelart#indiedev#gamedev#ue4pic.twitter.com/NdxemcbzuN
Might be just a shader rather than a game, but I absolutely cannot resist jellyfish:
Hey everybody! I made a Jellyfish shader#madewithunity:D I also made a tutorial trying to explain sine waves and how to achieve this kind of effects here:https://t.co/KYHlmxezlk#screenshotsaturday#gameart#gamedev#shaders#stylized#jellyfish#sine#unity3d@unitygamespic.twitter.com/nx9P8hihAW
A striking game for the ZX Spectrum, which certainly counts as a personal computer:
Today I make public Bruxólico ZX Spectrum WIP 1ST stage Demo. You can download for free this demo and play for yourself the first stage. Still a work In progress, some details may change.https://t.co/mPLomAYjix#screenshotsaturday#zxspectrum#homebrew#IndieGameDev#gamespic.twitter.com/ffyDeD80o3
