Cogmind by Grid Sage Games – a sci-fi roguelike with beautiful ASCII art, something I didn’t think was possible. Play as a robot that attaches the body parts… err.. components of other salvaged machines to itself. Build yourself into an assassin bot, tank bot, hedonism bot (OK, maybe not the last one); explore and destroy your enemies.

A Quiver of Crows by Sheado.net – a twin stick co-op shmup that features death dealing crows (like, the bird) instead of the regular sci-fi themed space ships.
Lord of the Aisle by Andrew Wang – a “get off my lawn” simulator set in a supermarket aisle. Control an angry man hell-bent on blocking all traffic. Made for the Arbitrary Game Jam

Bean Boy by Tyson Ibele – stretch and squeeze Bean Boy to send him flying in the air to fulfil his dreams. Are you fulfilling yours?

Well, it was a really short year for the blog, but I thought there was some really cool stuff that people may have missed when it first launched. So here’s a showcase of some of my favourites, and some of the highest note favourites too, with links to the original post (click on game name). :)
Northern Shadow by Arda Güneş & Taner Tezel – A first person city building RPG with lovely environments. This image was voted as GameDev.net’s twitter image of the day.
VA-11 HALL-A by Sukeban Games – a quirky visual novel-esque bartending game. I really fell in love with the concept art, and the peculiar characters.
Vektor Prix by David Joslin – a fast paced top down combat racing game. I can’t say I’ve ever tired of looking at gifs of this. It’s also now on Greenlight, vote if you like!
CrossCode by Radical Fish Games – a SNES styled action RPG. I think my attraction to anime style visuals is starting to show through. >.< No more!
Chester United by Brilliant Blue-G – a sequel to Chester, where changing the art style changes the gameplay. Perfectly looping gifs are my kryptonite.
Guild of Dungeoneering by Gambrinous – instead of exploring a dungeon as an explorer, build a dungeon around your explorer and try to help him survive.
Relativity by Willy Chyr – an Escher-like puzzle game where up can be down, but it always looks good. This image was also voted as GameDev.net’s image of the day.
Twin Souls: The Path of Shadows by Lince Works – a 3D stealth game where you are a spirit of vengeance with power over the shadows. You think darkness is your ally?
Thanks to all the people making awesome games for me to post about, as well as everyone who has liked or reblogged. You guys are awesome and keep me motivated. If you have any suggestions for me to improve things for the next year or if want to yell at me, feel free to message me here, email me (top right button on website), or tweet @screenshotdaily. Happy New Year!
Why Am I Dead At Sea by Peltast Design – “A murder mystery where you are the victim. Possess other people and use their personas to investigate your untimely demise.”
Thought that was the perfect description that didn’t need any addition of my lame humour. Rejoice!
Steel Assault by Sri Kankanahalli & Daniel Garcia – a NES-styled 2d action platformer where you play as a resistance fighter trying to overthrow a ruthless government. Nothing gets me more excited than disco lights.

l’Héritage Maudit by Nuit Noire – a mystery/thriller point and click adventure game set in a strange French town, with (I believe) a four colour palette. Pretty nifty. =) The prologue is on itch.io and GameJolt.
A feel good song from the soundtrack of Luckless Seven, an RPG card game influenced by Pazaak, a mini game in Star Wars KOTOR. You can follow them @LucklessSeven. You may or may not see an art post sometime in the future. =)
For those on the website. I apologize for the low quality photo, tumblr and I are having marital issues.
Twin Souls: The Path of Shadows by Lince Works – a 3rd person stealth game where you play an undead warrior that can control the shadows. Really love the red riding hood colours, gives the character some pop.
The animation transitions are a work in progress, but I thought this kill animation was neat.
