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 a meaty walking truck, opportunities for hubris, slime cleanup troubles, submarine dilemmas, and more. Check out these attractive and interesting indie games!
I particularly appreciate the blue sparks when blasting electronics in Hong Kong revenge shooterBetter Than Dead(coming to Steam):
#ScreenshotSaturdayEver wonder what it’s like to let loose in an office? 😅Check out our new particle system doing just that!💥🖥️#IndieDev#GameDevThoughts? Reactions? Let’s chat!pic.twitter.com/Lcu9YXDuxw
The freedom to charge headlong into disaster inEsoteric Ebb(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Right at the start of Ebb you can head into the City Below. Of course, you’ll probably die from traps or high level encounters, but I really love to leave that freedom for the player. With enough nat 20s you could, technically, finish the game very quickly.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/dsuevw3r25
Trouble coming in “run-and-gun arcade shooter"Iron Meat(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
I’m reworking the boss. Work in progress. It remains to finish the “body"Steam demo\wishlist:https://t.co/j0ZyNPd3t9#PixelArt#NewRetro#IndieDev#gamedev#ScreenshotSaturdaypic.twitter.com/c1IVwCXBmf
I always enjoy an old/new development comparison, so here’s this from hidden object gameLost and Found Co.(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
The art style of our game has undergone many changes since the prototype. What do you guys think?#screenshotsaturday#lostandfoundco#indiegamepic.twitter.com/fsYxMpbMHL
This made me go look through other screenshots fromArtis(coming to Steam, with a demo there now) and ooh I’m interested in this dystopian RPG’s mix of styles:
Everybody, meet Akane & Bot!✌️Just the right pair for some fun jrpg adventure!#screenshotsaturday#RPGpic.twitter.com/ZcNOgDGxVJ
Dinos, drive-ins, and dives with dinosaur-dodging immersive sim Athanasia (coming to Steam):

Turn your sound on for unpleasant noises in Labyrinth Of The Demon King:
Excited to show off some new creature SFX I’ve been making for Labyrinth of the Demon King, plus some new weapons and animations@jrhudepohlhas been making. Which weapon are you most excited to try out?#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#horrorgames#UnrealEngine#gamedevelopmentpic.twitter.com/99aaFcM387
Retro-styled FPS White Hell (in early access on Steam) deploys the deadliest weapon:

Don’t get too carried away consolidating your existing slimes into one easy-to-manage slime in the Viscera Cleanup Detail-esque Goblin Cleanup (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Dodgy moves in Ghost Vanguard (coming to Steam):
The enemy has multiple attacks.You must consider a response method for each attack.The video demonstrates three patterns of long-range attacks by the enemy.https://t.co/eTXSl2VOkV#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#pixelart#madewithunity#GhostVanguardpic.twitter.com/Kj7W3H2CJI
