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, I’m wondering what we’re going to do with RPS once the games industry realises there’s no point making or releasing any other games after seeing the ability to parry-counter dialogue by shooting that. A problem for later. In the meantime, check out this wide spread of attractive and interesting indie games!
Lurid first-person shootergoblinAmerica(coming to Steam, with a demo there now) knows that if in doubt, parry-counter:
Fuck it, you can parry dialogue now#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/9jFMWCx0Wi

It’s almost as if otherworldly citybuilder Synergy (coming to Steam) has heard everyone griping about this column having so many nonstatic screenshots:
Your request for fresh screenshots has been heard loud and clear! Presenting the much-awaited NEW SCREENSHOTS! 📸✨#indiegame#screenshotsaturday#gamedevpic.twitter.com/PZKIBmm94M
That’s some immersive simulation inGloomwood(in early access on Steam):
Along with the initial beginnings of critter AI, we’ve improved the lure behaviour overall. Rats will hunt down food and use rat holes, and fishdogs will be much more happy to ignore the player if a delicious treat is on their scent.#gloomwood#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/kVSJ0TGHCk
A fun little behind-the-scenes look at a bit of tech from feline RPGKristala(coming to Steam):

More fleeing comes from 13z:
Turn-based RPG sequel Copper Odyssey 2 posted a load of loading screens, and these are my two favourites:

Colourful construction in A Webbing Journey (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
It’s time to post on Twitter again, and what’s better to start than a#screenshotsaturdaypost showing off our newest feature in our game 😎Multi-colored web building for maximum creativity 🤩🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🟤⚫⚪#gamedev#indiedev#indiegame#indiegamedev#unity#madewithunitypic.twitter.com/87csN6MPgH
Spot of vintage rally racing from this yet-unnamed game:
Short gameplay from my#PS1style rally game. Feels very nostalgic already.#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#retro#PSX#madewithunitypic.twitter.com/yMj7bPDSnI
A boss battle in shmup Zoe Begone! (coming to Steam, with a demo there now), where a cartoon critter fights her animator:
I was a bit worried about this boss, but I gave it some attention this week and it might be my favourite now 👍#screenshotsaturday#indiegamepic.twitter.com/q8MwGm9cqP
Extremely important progress from immersive sim RetroSpace (coming to Steam):
It’s the little things that matter, right?We added fancy new effects when you shoot at stuff or things get broken.And it feels groovy! Sound is a must!(next: this, but on enemies!)#screenshotsaturday#immersivesim#fps#boomershooter#scifi#horror#indiedev#RetroSpacepic.twitter.com/QAFsIzDaEz
Shadow-hopping puzzle-platformer (I guess? that’s platforming, right?) Schim (coming to Steam) continues to look very pleasant:
