Ikenfell

developed by ChevyRay & Hunter Russell, music by aivi & surasshu | Platforms: Windows, Mac

“A JRPG with a mix of turn-based and timing-based battle mechanics with a heavy focus on characters and story.”

“Ikenfell is a game about witches, wizards, the school they attend, & the trouble they get into. It is also a game about love, friendships, rivalries, mischief…& kissing. The kissing may or may not happen between any of the former.”

Pavilion

developed by Visiontrick Media | Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

“A puzzle game portrayed through exploration and audio-visual imagery. By interacting and observing you gradually, bit by bit, learn things about both the puzzling gameplay and the world itself. A world unknown to both the player and the main character.

“A surreal dream-like place where reality clash with fantasy. Fully realised in beautiful hand-crafted 2D art and dreamy ambient music that makes for an unforgettable audio-visual experience.”

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.”

Blubber Busters

developed by Thar Be Monsters | Platforms: Windows

“A combat-focused 2D action game about surgically curing loveable space whales by any means necessary — usually from the inside-out. 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.”
