BitUp

developed by Cosmogonia

[gfycat data_id="BewitchedFatherlyIntermediateegret"][gfycat data_id="WillingCharmingGallowaycow"][gfycat data_id="HonoredShamelessHeron"]

“A side scrolling, exploration Hack-N’-Slash game in a 3D-Impressionist world, with a story that combines elements of Japanese mythology, game development, and the relationship between siblings.”

“Gameplaywise, we didn’t want to make a side scroller where enemies are just basically fodder, we drew inspiration from games such as Samurai Shodown and Dark Souls, and we took the Action and level structure of Mega Man X and Wario Land. Another important part of our gameplay is the notion of shaping the world around you. Bit, our main character, Bit has the ability to shape the world around him by manipulating pixels: create new paths, destroy obstacles, and power up his arsenal.”

Still in very early development for PC and PS4.

[gfycat data_id="BrokenAppropriateDeviltasmanian"][gfycat data_id="SickFarawayCarpenterant"]

A platformer that has a heavy focus on using wind drafts for fast movement and accessing far to reach areas.

“You play as an adventurous young boy that lives in a small village at the bottom of a mountain. This mountain is not like the others though. Surrounding it, strong winds never cease to blow. To this village the wind is a blessing, a never ending source of energy essential to everyday life. But one day, the wind gets weaker and starts to fade.

“You will climb the mountain in search for answers, but the mountain holds many secrets and dangerous creatures, with the help of your magic wind cape you will have to make use of all the different types of wind to reach the end of your journey.”

An adventure platformer with light RPG elements (such upgrading your character and equipment).

“The sequel to the award winning Super Adventure Pals, ride your giraffe across an open world, discover secrets, bash up some baddies and enter a colorful world of laughter and adventure where using a giraffe’s tongue as a helicopter propeller is a legitimate means of transport.”

You can play the original Super Adventure Pals on Game Jolt here.

[gfycat data_id="CheerfulDifferentAfricangroundhornbill"][gfycat data_id="TangibleWelcomeHippopotamus"][gfycat data_id="AccurateLittleHare"]

“A physics based platformer about rolling cardboard boxes; take part in an epic single player adventure and grab your friends for explosive local multiplayer races and battles!”

“Unbox was created during the December UE4 Game Jam and inspired by the games we played and loved while growing up. From the competitive and frenetic action of Goldeneye to the expansive exploration of Super Mario 64, there are threads of old school design woven throughout Unbox.”

Sym

developed by ATRAX

[gfycat data_id="DeepWholeAnemoneshrimp"]

“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. :)

Geoball

Unknown Developer

[gfycat data_id="FirsthandLankyIrishsetter"][gfycat data_id="ImpishGenuineBengaltiger"][gfycat data_id="PastelNaughtyBittern"]

“A modern take on classic 3D platformers like Marble Blast. Roll and jump your way through unique hazards and mechanics to collect all the golden triangles and silver hexagons.”

There are 40 different levels, each with a different style and music, and a variety of different types of slick looking balls to unlock.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get into contact with the developer to properly credit him/her (it’s been a month), but you can keep track of the development through the website here.
