Floof

[gfycat data_id="ActiveFocusedJunco"][gfycat data_id="BlandDistortedGorilla"][gfycat data_id="DishonestAnyBasilisk"]

“A casual, fun, and cute physics platformer. You play as a big blubbery blob, bouncing and squeezing your way through different levels, challenges, and environments. Floof aims to appeal to all ages, while still having more complex features, such as level editors and modding.”

I think the main character would make the perfect stressball. The things I would do… O.O

developed by Too Kind Studio

[gfycat data_id="LimitedThornyEnglishpointer"][gfycat data_id="AccomplishedHauntingHuemul"][gfycat data_id="ConventionalDistinctHoki"]

A narrative driven action platformer with a main character that reminds me of Marvin the Martian. I miss that guy. :(

Currently in development for PC, and will be released in an episodic format starting at the end of 2015. You can try the demo below.

“Discovering the dreamlike world of Omnia, the player controls Pankapu, a tiny being created by the God of dreams, Iketomi, in order to defeat the hordes of nightmares that try to infiltrate his world.“

It’s being developed for release on Steam, as well as the Wii U, and 3DS. You can follow the development on the TIGForums.

Hollow Knight

developed by Team Cherry

A hand animated action adventure game being developed for PC, Mac, Linux, and Wii U (and possible more). I’m so in love with the art, and I’m definitely a little biased with this post as I backed the game on Kickstarter last year.

“As the enigmatic Hollow Knight, players will journey through the depths of Hallownest, a vast and ancient kingdom buried deep underground. Though long fallen to ruin after a dimly-remembered catastrophe, explorers and thieves still brave its dark roads, its caverns and towers, searching for riches and wonders.

“Lately though, something has changed. Villagers and explorers venturing into the caverns have stopped returning. The caverns throb and tremble with a savage energy. A sweet and sickly poison is drifting through the hollows, sending creatures mad with rage and robbing explorers of their memories.”

A stealth-based platformer with really gorgeous pixel art cutscenes. It’s been in development for quite a bit, and should be released on Steam sometime in the latter half of 2015.

“You are Master Spy. In a world of corruption and decay, you’re not just good at what you do – you’re the best.

With the aid of your prototype cloaking suit and quick wit, you’ll sneak your way past a multitude of enemies and obstacles, all while uncovering a plot of conspiracy and intrigue that thrusts you into a role far greater than your contract promised… “

The artist (zorgitron) also has a separate Tumblr with a lot more animation and art, which you can take a peek at here. The gif below isn’t part of the Master Spy universe; you can see the full loop here.

Parafractum

developed by Bernoulli Games

[gfycat data_id="ShadowyImpossibleGonolek"] $parafractum peeps$ [gfycat data_id="AmazingFlamboyantCrustacean"] $parafractum title$

“A 2D platform game set in a procedurally generated world. Go wherever you want in a vast world which is different every time you play. Find and collect loot to customize and enhance your character. Trade with, threaten or fight survivors to get what you need.

Beat permadeath, by unlocking checkpoints and new features for future playthroughs. Uncover the many secrets this world has to offer and destroy a great evil within – alone, or with a friend.”

Still in very early development, but the art style already looks pretty great, and I’m excited about another co-op roguelike.

Splish

developed by CloudPop Games

[gfycat data_id="PerkyUnnaturalIcefish"][gfycat data_id="NegligibleAntiqueFirebelliedtoad"][gfycat data_id="UnpleasantAcidicBallpython"][gfycat data_id="ZanySleepyCod"]

A puzzle platformer inspired by Splatoon. It reminds me a lot of the mechanics of Unfinished Swan (probably because I just finished it), which seems like a really neat idea for a platformer.

It’s still early in development for PC, and the art is far from final. CloudPop Games also made Layers and Drop, which you can see here.
