Astro Fuse

developed by Spectral Forms  |  Platforms: Windows

“A colorful puzzle game set on a primordial world. It tells the story of a robot from a crashed spaceship who must rebuild his ship by assembling components and launching them into space. Astro Fuse features beautiful pixel art, and caters to both beginners and advanced players.

“The game begins with only a few block types, and introduces additional types as you progress through the levels. Blocks are combined in increasingly tricky and complex arrangements that require careful thought to unlock. As you complete the levels you will uncover hints about the planet as well as the mystery behind the crash.”

Follow Rudy, the janitor aboard the orbital SVP (that’s Space Veterinary Platform), as he’s thrust into the role of surgeon as the chief-of-staff in a failing hospital. Do you have what it takes to breathe life back into the station and discover the source of new and threatening space whale diseases?”

Hidden Folks

developed by Adriaan de Jongh & Sylvain Tegroeg  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac, iOS

“A game like Where’s Waldo?, but black and white and interactive: find little people hiding behind or inside things by lifting doors, pressing buttons, and shaking trees.

“All characters and objects in the game are hand-drawn, scanned in, placed in levels in the game, layered manually, and then animated. It’s supposed to be a relaxing game. No time limits. No points. Just a bunch of folks and objects to be found. The game will feature around 20-30 levels with various themes like a camping theme, a desert, a factory, a suburb, and many more. Expect updates with more levels.”

Can’t Drive This

developed by Pixel Maniacs  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac

“Drive your car WHILE your friend builds the road in front of you! Oh, and don’t go below 20mph OR YOU’LL EXPLODE! Like in that Sandra Bullock movie, in which she kinda does the same thing, but on a bus. Also, she doesn’t explode (Spoiler alert). Also, Keanu Reeves was in the movie.”
