“A third person space combat game, that focuses on battles between large fleets.“
Still in very early development. Currently there’s a sandbox mode that allows you to spawn large fleets in the overview camera, and then take control of any ship (even the large ones) to take part in the ensuing battle.

A shmup centred around fighting massive bosses with colourful and detailed pixel art. Featuring an ancient bat that can transform into various forms to unleash its fury.
“Take down colossal boses, tear apart the world around you, and summon the powers of sound.”
Developed completely solo using GameMaker. I quite like the music as well, it’s from the band Ace Poison which the developer is a part of. You can take a listen and download it on Bandcamp here.
The game just came out and I haven’t played it yet, as my internet connection hates me. :(

A mobile adventure of a lowly peasant out to find coins and treasure. Once you start moving you can’t stop until you hit an object, though you may change your direction by swiping on the screen. There are a lot of traps, and death is assured.
Created by the developer that also made Bean Boy.

A pixel art side scrolling RPG with a focus on exploration.
“You find yourself on an uncharted island being ravaged by monsters and wild animals.” Charming.
There’s a lot of emphasis on deep character customization, and creating a character with exactly the look you want (body type/race/gender/accessories etc). I have to single out the amount of hats. One can never have too many hats!

A rhythm game with tense chest-rumbling music and sound effects.
“Thumper combines classic rhythm-action with speed and physicality. You control a space beetle while careening towards confrontation with an insane giant head from the future.”
I got really taken in by the aesthetic and sound in the trailer, so I decided to treat myself for reaching 500 followers. =) Which meant pulling out my hair learning GIMP over the weekend. >.< Though I think it was worth it; in the top GIF I edited out some items on the pathway, so that it would look a bit more endless.

I did a teaser of it last week that maybe was a bit too obscure, or people didn’t like. Hopefully not the latter as here it is again!
developed by Old Moon Games.
An actual (super?) metroidvania that’s been in development for a few years, and is hopefully coming out at the end of 2015. While it definitely looks like a modern Super Metroid, the game is also supposed to borrow elements from Dark Souls. No hand holding with the gameplay. :) The mix definitely gives it a great looking atmosphere.

A psychological horror inspired by real events that took place in a psychiatric hospital in Italy, with stories based on testimony from the patients and employees who passed through there.
“I was sixteen, and I was scared. I was always scared. They told me that they would bring me to a place where the fear would fade away. That is where I stopped living. I’ve tried to explain what was happening to me.
I was tied to my bed for days and days, abandoned to my nightmares, silenced only by an injection. My fear was no longer fear, it was madness, and when you are mad life as you know it ceases to exist.
Screams. Desperation. Loneliness.
Some women groaned, convinced they were giving birth…and they gave birth to the invisible children of the madness.”
developed by Baroque Creations.
A tactical RPG with online co-op play. Travel with up to four characters in your party to overthrow the Dissonace in real time battles with permanent death for your soldiers. The world is procedurally generated, but can be expanded by user created mods and maps.

A whimsical and violent RPG adventure.
I suppose I got caught up in the hype storm this caused yesterday. I didn’t find it on reddit and there’s not much gameplay to show, but I felt compelled to make some GIFs from the trailer.
It seems to have materialized out of nowhere, which has some people wondering if it’s a real thing. Regardless, we can still enjoy the pretties. :)
