If youโre building a #PrecisionPlatformer, focus on those elements is key, otherwise, you wind up with an #IndieGame like #AtomicOwl. Stunning art and a great soundtrack, but no real gameplay beyond an hour of play. It's heavily overpriced and clunky, a shame as it could have worked out so well!

A #Horror #IndieGame should be scary, whether you slay enemies or survive in a tense atmosphere. #Heartworm had none of that. It nailed #Puzzle solving, wrapped in a mediocre story weighed down by the protagonist and her voice. A shame. This is Silent Hill x Fatal Frame, not a Resident Evil tribute!

My #Review for #KillingFloor3, letโs just say, itโs not pretty. Don't pretend it's not a skeleton of the previous. When friends obsessed with #KillingFloor2 wonโt even touch it, you know somethingโs wrong.
I have one #giveaway copy on the video by the end of the week. Comment on the video to enter.

Interesting little co-op #IndieGame that's a #FreeGame for the launch day, don't miss out. It's worth a play, decently fun and challenging, might be a bit repetitive, but it's great so far.

Now thatโs a #CityBuilder with a twist! #TheWanderVillage lets you build a village on the back of a creature. You survive with it, not on it, managing trust, resources, and care in a beautifully layered, symbiotic world. This is coming from someone who doesnโt like the genre that much. I loved it!

I usually sink 300+ hours into gearing Hardcore Dead Is Dead #PathOfExile characters. I'm tired of it, tired of GGG, and donโt get me started on #Diablo4.
#Hellclock is everything I want. A fast, to the point screen-freezing #ARPG. Unfortunately, it's a bit short, offering very little replay value.
Loved the #NinjaGaiden revival that fans were clearly dying for.
Great story, visuals, and that soundtrack is next level. Reasonably priced compared to games like #Contra.
Might be a bit too short for a more modern gamer.
*Whispers*
I'll be doing a #Giveaway for 4 copies. So don't miss out!
Itโs been a while since Iโve played a good #PointAndClick adventure that channels #Sierra or #LucasArts vibes.
#TheDrifter nails that thriller story focused feel. Could have definitely used more visual content and fewer story filled black screens. It's still worth checking out.
Grew up on #RTS games. #Stronghold was always special. But after all the re-releases, is the Definitive Edition worth the extra $10? Not really. The new AI and maps are meh, same old flaws remain, and PvP still doesnโt work. Grab the HD version instead.
While I love the series, it isn't worth it.
#ContentCreators, #IndieDevs, and #Publishers, I put together a discussion on key distribution sparked by the issues with #Lurkit and the blatant internal issues it has. It includes my knowledge, redacted PR, summaries and collaborations. I know I'm not a huge creator, but... still I hope it helps!

#Rentlord is a really fun incremental management game, but man does it need some tuning. Itโs the kind of #IndieGame that keeps you glued to the screen, until it breaks the engaging loop. A great concept, but has very little replay value to recommend at the moment.
I would love to see it expand.
It took some courage to play #SlayThePrincess with all the warnings about gore, and death, but Iโm glad I did. It offered a fantastic blend of branching narratives, psychological tension, voice acting, and immersive endings.
Are you ready to lose your mind to the madness?

Whatโs not to love about feline #IndieGames? Especially one as adorable as #EverdeepAurora, a pseudo-Game Boy-styled exploration adventure starring Shell, a young child searching for her mother as the world teeters on the brink of destruction. Loved it, although it did feel rather pessimistic.

Horse game. The best gacha anime of all time. Pans to you playing it for months afterwards.

*Rubs head* Ooooh...
Itโs almost time. 4 months of work into the murky world of #Indiegames and distribution sites, the shady bullshit deals, the false promises, the lack of transparency, and the #Contentcreators caught in a death vice.
It will all be explained soon! Never again shall we suffer.
If you're tall and trying to stick to a #Keto #Diet on a budget, Iโve got one that works great for me. Dirt cheap if you skip the vitamins and whey, but still not terrible. Can also be adjusted.
A simple mix of nuts and grains, blended up with a good blender and a small meat meal. Hope it helps :3

Never been a #Freecell or #Solitaire fan. #StrayPath made it interesting by mixing in chill dungeon crawling elements with just the right amount of challenge.
Surprisingly relaxing and clever. While the replay value is questionable, the design is great for a unique #IndieGame.
Originally brushed off #MonsterTrain for looking too bland and being a bit hard to get into because of that.
Then I played #MonsterTrain2 and... holy shit, the game slaps, hard! What an incredible amount of replay value. I've never felt this motivated since #SlayTheSpire.
#IndieGame #DeckBuilder
You had #OneShot to do things right. A classic #IndieGame that went beyond being just a game.
It broke the 4th wall not for shock, but for meaning, digging into moral weight, responsibility, and the passage of time. It was such a masterpiece... You had to be there to experience it in the moment.
#Atlyss got a new update, if anyone wanted to hang out.
Plan on just chilling around, been a while since we played.
*Dusts off hands*
Phew, there we go, got through this weeks 9 video reviews.
If #Lurkit is gonna pretend three games a week is a โreasonable" maximum cap maybe, then they should also pretend theyโre reliable with keys, which every #IndieDev should know. Still working on that video on the side!

You Into the #IndieGames scene?
More reason to check out what I'm up to!
Whacky, zany, and neon wild! #Atomicrops is what a #Farming sim would become if it drank radioactive material, and tripped down an #IndieGames path.
It's tower defense meets farming under a constant time pressure. Weird as hell, but it really works.
#YaoGuaiHunter is decent, Iโll give it that. Wuxia-style calligraphy cinema meets #SlayTheSpire deckbuilding.
Visually stylish & solid atmosphere, but classes feel noticeably unbalanced. The energy system could very well throw you off from being able to fully enjoy it, but I liked the twist.
