It’s another one of these. Games, they’re pretty neat. I’ve decided I’ll do a separate extra post where I can put all my backlog stuff in there because that list was getting out of control and I can just focus on games from the last week or two here. Plus it’s ok for games that are a couple months old to still be talked about.
Tabletop RPGs
Corpslayers (Itch.io) is a cyberpunkish heist/runner/gig economy simulator game tabletop rpg by Binary Star Games based on the ttrpg Slayers. It is available as PWYW.
Blood Borg (Itch.io) is a gutter punk vampire game by World Champ Game Co. based on the Mork Borg ttrpg. A hardcover version is also available.
Video Games
Lunar Lancer (Itch.io) is a free shmup for the Game Boy to celebrate its 35th anniversary. I assume from the art that it’s inspired by the classic Solar Striker.
Pusherfish (Itch.io) is a nice little browser game where you push blocks to cross gaps but can also change your character size to cross larger gaps or fit in small areas
We have a new batch of Domino Club games! Domino Club is a collective that anonymously develops games together in game jams and released in large batches, each containing an assortment of experimental games. This time it’s the Tongues Jam (Itch.io).
Phoenix Springs (Steam) is a point-and-click adventure that was in development for a while and I’m happy to see it out there! It’s a neo-noir game where you investigate where your missing brother is. I haven’t played it yet but reviews seem to be positive and the art is beautiful.
Pompeii, Bubbleland (Itch.io) is a short surreal poem created for Ludum Dare and inspired by museum tours. I loved it but just a heads up but it has some (intentional) flickering and weird effects that might be hard on the eyes for some folks. Go check out the other games by Sand Gardeners too!
Traveller’s Hymm (Steam) is a free rpg that was just released on Steam. I haven’t played it yet but it sounded pretty cool from Rock, Paper, Shotgun’s post about it.
MonoScale (Itch.io) is a browser game featuring great 1-bit art that reminds me of the Macintosh, and a grappling hook. I’m awful at it but I think it’s a fun game. Everyone likes grappling hooks.
Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for featuring MonoScale in your Indie Roundup! Glad you like the artwork (I don’t consider myself particularly skilled in art). Was my first game in yonks and first game outside of Blitz Basic in the early 00s, so glad to hear you are a fan!
Yeah and it’s probably a wee bit on the difficult side :), I wouldn’t say you are awful at it 🙂
Thank you for making the game! I think the difficulty is just right
