Screenshot Saturday Tuesday: What's a three-day lag when there are all these games to admire?
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. Well, on Tuesday this week, thanks to the four-day Easter weekend. But the games look just as attractive and interesting as they did on Saturday, so what's the hurry? Check these out!
Elevating action from this "retro-styled isometric simulation game":
I added small indicator lights to the elevator entrances to show the elevator's current direction. I guess this is how they are supposed to work? 🔽🔼#screenshotsaturday#gamedev #isometric #simulation #pixelart #indiedev pic.twitter.com/SlrraBUDCz

#screenshotsaturday continued improvements to the CSS-controlled camera!! the '3rd person tank control' view was static and boring before, and the upcoming camera/stage rework lets us do more interesting stuff! pic.twitter.com/4hy7uFpFKh

A bit late for #screenshotsaturday. Worked on the new wave system and boat steering. Surfing down waves, getting decelerated by waves, wind profile for the ship (against wind is harder than with wind). #pirates pic.twitter.com/RYttiJA7YK

A little more from the first episode of #ThrillerNight, titled "The Eyes of Outer Space" 👀

Manage cookie settingsThere's a lot to understand here in roguelikelike Solitaire 'em up Solitaire Battle (coming to Itch, with a demo there now) but after Luck Be A Landlord turned slot machines roguelikelike and Balatro did the same with poker, sure I'm interested in more games in the same vein:

This nice forest visit in Akatori: Сhapter One (coming to Steam) is a touch livelier than the one I myself had over the weekend:

Octavia is an elite soldier, with mastery over a variety of weapons. She has a very serious attitude, and is not one for jokes.
She is also very throwable.#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/s2pXY0zalk
Waterpark-building manage-o-sim Aqua Mundo (coming to Steam) continues to look good:
While designing your own waterpark in Aqua Mundo, it's easy to combine patterns and colour palettes in order to create cool looking environments.
Here's a quick little showcase 🙂#screenshotsaturday #indiegames #tycoon #gamedev pic.twitter.com/MjRSGSsdOo
