Thumper

developed by Drool  |  Platforms: Windows, PS4

“Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future.

“Scream down the endless track and crash through punishing obstacles with simple, airtight controls. Hurtle forward, master new moves, reach overwhelming velocities, and survive epic boss battles. Every crushing impact is interwoven with a pounding original soundtrack. To reach synesthetic bliss, you must go through rhythm hell.”

If you’d like to see more gifs, I’ve got those here.

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.”
