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.”

“A first person puzzle game built with Unreal Engine 4 where gravity moves and shifts as you do and which way is up depends on where you’re standing.

“Puzzles involve not just what is in front of you, but what is above and around you. Ceilings become floors requiring you to think beyond regular spaces and see the whole interconnected area.”

“An RPG inspired by the classic console greats, featuring deep dungeon diving, turn-based combat presented in a classic JRPG format, and tons of secrets, story and randomly-generated replay goodness.”

Currently in development and on Kickstarter for PC, Mac, Xbox One, and PS4.  The game is based on the comic series “Battle Chasers”, and is also being created by Joe Madureira.  I really love the animation in the storied cutscenes. O.O

“In each level you need to grow your Nekton to a specific size. To grow larger, you can defeat other organisms and capture the parts they leave behind. Once attached to your Nekton, these parts integrate completely – some offer more speed and agility whereas others grant you new abilities.”

An African fantasy adventure being created by a group of indie developers in Cameroon.

“It should have been a perfect day for Enzo Kori-Odan, Prince of Zama. He was scheduled to marry his lifelong love Erine Evou and be crowned the new King. Little did he know that Ngarba Evou, his new brother-in-law, plotted to overthrow him.

“Through thrillingly executed, combo-heavy action sequences, Erine and Enzo will redefine their bond, rescue the land from its villains, and restore their legacy. Luckily, Enzo can call on the Aurion, a powerful collective energy channelled from past ancestors that can unlock devastating fighting abilities and combos to help him beat his foes.”

“A puzzle-platformer that explores social anxiety disorder. Play as Josh, a teenage boy trying to reconcile a maze of two contrasting worlds that coexist within the blank spaces of each other – his perception of reality, and the world he created to avoid his fears.”

The Steam reviews are pretty positive, though it seems to depend on whether you have an interest in depression/anxiety, as the gameplay is reportedly simplistic.  I really like the concept of dealing with human issues through the medium of games, and I also really like the art style, so thought I would share. :)
