The 24th is Itch.io’s “creator’s day” where they don’t take a cut of any sales, a good day to buy some videogames if you’ve got some cash hanging around. (Itch)
Knuckle Sandwich is finally out. A very indie RPG with a wild style and confidence. It’s been on my watchlist for so long now, glad to see it make it to the finishing line. (Itch)
Samantha In The Haunted Mansion. Bitsy doing what it does best and enabling someone to bring a kid’s story to life. (Itch)
Mentioned in #7, micro metroidvania The Shadow King is out now too. Looking forward to getting a moment to give it a play. (Steam)
A familiar old hand, here’s MikeDX doing Pitfall, on Scramble hardware. (Mastodon)
Viper Survivors brings the recent fad for “you are the bullet hell” genre to Snake. I never tire of just how much folk can wring out of the standards still. Anyway, you’ve heard of Tickle On The Tum, this is Turrets On The Tail — Ralph McTell not included. (Itch)
Eyesteroid, in case you’re like me and just find the idea of “haunted Atari”‘ funny. (Itch)
I adore Qix so always pleased to see someone take a punt at it. These days the genre might be more famous for revealing revealing pictures but Trappy Pixel sticks to the original arcadey script. (Itch)
A new Space Captain McCallery game! That’s me sorted. I adore these. (Itch)
Doctor Cat. It’s Doctor Who, but you’re a cat. Much better than The Mines Of Terror, this. (Itch)
As it’s a week where I’m really excited to get some new Who to watch, let me also remind you of Sokurah’s lovely Doctor Who adventure game from a few years back now. It’s that game people have said should be made for years now, made. Years ago. (Website)
Scramble Slug. It’s Scramble and Metal Slug – at the same time. (Itch)
I’ve been enjoying watching space sim Alliance Peacefighter come together over time, join me in keeping a beady eye on its progress. (Mastodon)
Good to see Alien Death Mob make its way to the switch. It’s a brilliant blast of blasting fun. Blast. Blasty. Blastering. (Deku)
Indieretronews report on a lovely rejigged conversion of Kung Fu Master to the GX4000. Looks really at home on one now, good work. (Website)
