A time and score attack parkour FPS.  Still in very early development for PC.  No website up yet but you can follow the progress on the dev’s twitter.

Sorry for the fuzziness of the gifs. :(  The game updates and improves quite regularly so I’ll definitely post about it again, and I’ll make sure the gifs are crisp and sharp then.

“A cheerful sandbox game that will first captivate you by its beautiful polygony graphics. You can create a highly modifiable yland of your choice and place it anywhere in the world – it will fully reflect the resources, weather and wildlife of given location. You also have full control over your game experience: choose to play alone or with friends; try to live a life on your yland with only a handful of basic survival items or choose to have them all – it’s up to you.”

You can currently purchase an early access version for PC from the Bohemia Interactive store.

[gfycat data_id="OrganicHonorableHarvestmen"]lovers 2lovers 1[gfycat data_id="SorePitifulAmoeba"]lovers 4lovers 3[gfycat data_id="AptWaterloggedCoypu"]

“A frantic 1- or 2-player couch co-op action space shooter. Explore a colorful galaxy in a massive neon battleship that you control together by manning turrets, lasers, shields and thrusters. Only through teamwork can you triumph over the evil forces of Anti-Love, rescue kidnapped space-bunnies, and avoid a vacuumy demise. Deep space is a dangerous place, but you don’t have to face it alone!

“2 players (or 1 player plus a loyal AI space-pet) need to work together to man the different battle stations, dashing back and forth between weapons, shields and engines. Both players fill important roles at all times, and nobody gets left behind.”

Out for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One

Soft Body

developed by Zeke Virant

[gfycat data_id="SeveralWiltedGlobefish"][gfycat data_id="ConventionalDetailedFoxhound"][gfycat data_id="LoneCautiousGoldfinch"]

“An action-­puzzle game that infuses the twin­-stick shooter with a surreal sense of control and style. Inspired by the simplicity and joy of twin-stick shooters and other arcade games, players take control of two beautiful, gooey snakes at the same time (one with each analog stick). Together, you use the snakes to paint the world, which continually changes around you, while dodging bullets and popping enemies. Tense and soothing, Soft Body combines the challenge and twitchy fun of quick-restart action games with a meditative aesthetic.”

Scheduled to be released in early 2016 for PS4 and Windows, with ports to Mac and PS Vita shortly afterwards.
