“A puzzle adventure about friendship and cooperation. Join Bulder the rock and Stella the star on a wonderful journey through an ancient, lush underground world filled with riddles and mysteries.”
I usually wait until there’s a bit more gameplay to show before making a full post, but I just found Pode to be super charming. It’s still very early in development and looks like a very promising co-op game (that can also be played by one person switching characters). The development team previously made Flem, which you can check out below.

A musical adventure where your character must sing in time with various visual cues. It’s currently on Kickstarter in order to ensure it has an awesome soundtrack (like in the trailer).
“Use your singing to solve people’s problems, solve puzzles, and hopefully, ultimately, save the world!”
“Wandersong is *not* about learning a few note patterns and re-using them throughout the game: it’s about observing the environment, and using music to interface with each unique situation.”

“Mobs, Inc. is hiring new employees ! The dungeon the company has been taking care of has become so attractive that too many adventurers are visiting it every day.
“Become one of these new employee hired to maintain a constant challenge for these adventurers. If you’re doing your job quite well, the CEO might give you a promotion and enhance you with some new powerful skills.”
This was made for Ludum Dare 33. It has really simple controls, and you can play it for free below.
I used some footage from Thet’s Play to make the gifs.

“A pixelated, side-scrolling, underwater action-adventure game about exploring the decaying ruins of our species — and fighting deadly sea-creatures — in search of answers about our downfall.”
The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human came through Kickstarter last year (I made a post about it here), and just released a couple of days ago ($9.99 in the U.S., but on sale at the moment). So if you want to take part in underwater submarine shenanigans check out one of the links below!

“A survival horror game set in the future, where the player controls a character who wakes up in a spaceship, with no memory of what happened. The spaceship is adrift in space, and most of the crew is dead or insane. The rest is changed… You’ll need to survive and find out what’s going on and what happened to the crew. Sometimes the hostiles can be taken out, but most of the times the best strategy is to run and hide.”

“An action-packed 2D side scrolling shoot em up game where peril comes from above. So in a nutshell, pest control with machine guns in space.
“The core mechanics hold old ties from the classic arcade shooter “Super Pang” where you shoot vertically, but with modern day twists. You are Harry, a brash and tenacious exterminator who has a knack for decimating bugs.”
Made by two former Blizzard employees; the art is so well drawn and animated! It came out of early access and released on Steam today.

I finally finished my collection of cinemagraphs for Journey. Basically I made little postcard-like entries, except the pictures move a bit. It took a long time to do and wrangling Journey’s camera to stay still was quite the experience! I’d like to do the same thing with either The Witness, or Firewatch next.
If you’ve never played Journey I’d suggest you wait to look at the collection. While it’s only environmental stuff, it contains all of them, and discovering the new areas added a lot to the experience for me.
Take a look below at the full collection, I hope you guys like it. :)
The full collection is here (best viewed on a desktop PC).

“A traditional roguelike focusing on diverse builds, quick play, and intuitive controls.”
“In Roggle you will explore The Fracture, a ruined world held together by tenuous magic. Severed chunks of land drift through space, a hollow dystopia far removed from its former glory. The Fracture is a fearsome place filled with warring factions, ferocious creatures, and perilous ledges. The path you walk is up to you, but danger waits in every direction.”
