A crazy single player tank shooter where you have to defend against an alien invasion in over the top battles. There’s a demo available which you can download below. I think I was sold after the tank deployed from the sky but I haven’t been able to give the demo a try yet, hopefully it plays as well as it looks. Currently scheduled for release in Summer 2016.
“A team of indie-developers are excited to present a new single player project will offer you a spectacular journey through destroyed cities, with epic battles, a gripping storyline and a cool tank, a good mood is guaranteed!”

I really liked the colours, so decided to make a short looping gif. I’ll be doing a full post of Desolus in the future when it’s a bit further along. :) You can take a look at some gameplay in the video below.
“Desolus is a first person puzzle and exploration game where you control a powerful black hole to absorb and redirect energy from elemental stars.”
I put together a collection of itch.io pages that I thought were pretty well designed. Hopefully if you’re a gamedev you can get some ideas of what to do for your own page. Some of them look fancy, but really the colour scheme, font, and background choice go a really long way to encouraging people to stick on your page long enough to read the description, or watch a video.
If you’re not a game developer you can still take a look, some of the pages lead to some cool games. :)
