Circa Infinity 

developed by Kenny Sun.  

A trippy platformer with a circular design.  I’ve been staring at my screen for a while trying to describe the game further, but I can’t. >.<  The second GIF is the intro level, which is probably the easiest to understand, and here is a gameplay video which should help.  Each level slowly introduces a new enemy or gameplay mechanic, which are then combined in later levels/sections creating insanity.  

The demo came out on itch.io today and it’s quite fun when things start getting intense.  Though, it’s only the first 10 levels so I suppose it’s quite low on the game’s overall intensity meter.

An Underwater Embrace 

I played through Never Alone for the first time this week.  It definitely had its share of faults, but there was a lot to like about it.  Overall a good experience with lots of random cute/touching moments like this.  I recorded a bunch of footage and will probably make a collection of GIFs this weekend, but I thought this one deserved its own space.

A colourful online RTS that can be played in your browser (Chrome recommended).  Still in early development.  Build your ships out of various parts and try to take the control points on the map.  You can try the challenge modes to fight against the AI, or maybe give the developer a ping if no one is online. :)

Slain! 

developed by Wolfbrew Games, published by Digerati.  

An old school hack and slash with an emphasis on dying in a satisfying horrible manner.   Play as the hero Bathoryn and battle your way through enemies and puzzles in a quest to liberate the seven great towers.

“At the heart of each tower, he must confront a mighty overlord. Defeat it and Bathoryn’s quest continues. Fail, and you’ll die gruesomely – mauled by werewolves, disintegrated by floating monstrosities, squashed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades.”

Friendship Club

by 

Clockwork Cuckoo & 

Force Of Habit.  

A four player bullet-hell arena shooter.  

Pick one of four imaginary characters who will battle it out in order to become Timmy Bibble’s favourite friend.  

Bullets that are fired keep bouncing off the walls until they are caught by another player, or caught by another player’s face.  Naturally things get a bit crazy as time goes on.  

Recently released on Steam Early Access, not a ton of reviews yet, but currently most of them are positive.
