“A side scrolling, exploration Hack-N’-Slash game in a 3D-Impressionist world, with a story that combines elements of Japanese mythology, game development, and the relationship between siblings.”

“Gameplaywise, we didn’t want to make a side scroller where enemies are just basically fodder, we drew inspiration from games such as Samurai Shodown and Dark Souls, and we took the Action and level structure of Mega Man X and Wario Land. Another important part of our gameplay is the notion of shaping the world around you. Bit, our main character, Bit has the ability to shape the world around him by manipulating pixels: create new paths, destroy obstacles, and power up his arsenal.”

Still in very early development for PC and PS4.

To this village the wind is a blessing, a never ending source of energy essential to everyday life. But one day, the wind gets weaker and starts to fade.

“You will climb the mountain in search for answers, but the mountain holds many secrets and dangerous creatures, with the help of your magic wind cape you will have to make use of all the different types of wind to reach the end of your journey.”

“An open-world action-RPG starring a dog lost in a sprawling, randomly generated city. Use your canine abilities to explore this strange, sometimes hostile environment and find your place in the world.”

“You wander the streets, searching for scraps, for shelter, for a friendly face. Slowly, you overcome some of your fears. You learn where you can snag a meaty bone, where you can sleep warm and safe at night. Strange streets become familiar territory. One by one, the streets become yours. You find friends. Eventually, maybe, home.”

Brute

developed by Crudepixel

[gfycat data_id="ImmenseChubbyGopher"][gfycat data_id="LikelyHatefulFruitfly"][gfycat data_id="IdealisticChiefJunco"]

“A minimalist puzzle shooter. Inspired in part by N and other challenging skill based games. The player takes control of a ship with limited fuel which explodes on impact with walls. It’s simple to pick up and play but will take a lot of skill to complete.”

“Brute will feature 50 standard levels across 10 stages with another 50 unlockable remix levels. It will be no easy task to complete all 100 levels but if you want more then try competing in one of the 3 speed-run modes. These modes will feature global leaderboards and a friend challenge system.”
