[gfycat data_id="ShimmeringEverlastingBat"]inversus 1inversus 4[gfycat data_id="JadedHospitableGnat"]inversus 2inversus 3[gfycat data_id="HairySickFowl"]

A minimalist action-strategy in development for PC (with plans for consoles).  The main mode is multiplayer, though there is a single player challenge mode as well.

“It is played on a grid of black and white tiles where each player is restricted to either side. Players flip tiles towards their color to gain control and close in on the enemy. With every action changing the play space, each round evolves into a unique battle field.”

“A real time space-exploration sim and crew management game.

“Command a fleet of vessels wandering the galaxy for adventure and profit! You’ll be forced to make tough decisions as you face hostile starships, crippling space anomalies, and intriguing aliens. When your fleet faces certain doom, should you direct your crew to make critical repairs, or report to their stations and boost your fleet?”

[Buy on Steam]

The soundtrack is done by chipzel and the OST is really great, take a listen here.  I absolutely love the album art, which was illustrated by Dominic Riozzi.

“Glyphs is a 2D open-world fantasy RPG, following the story of Elias as he travels across a variety of treacherous landscapes on a quest to reforge the enchanted relics known as Glyphs and restore order to the land of Eldamir.

“Legend has it that Eldamir, a now peaceful land was once plagued by evil spirits. When the death toll became overwhelming, the six most powerful Elders sacrificed themselves to create the Glyphs and end the chaos. Centuries later, a series of unforeseen events damage the Glyphs; breaking the enchantment they held over the lands, allowing evil to rise again. It is now up to Elias to repair the Glyphs and cleanse the evil from the land of Eldamir before it’s too late.”

Still in early development for PC, Mac, and Linux.

An exploration game set in a world with 10 seconds left to live.  Due to relativity, each play through lasts 10 minutes.  Based on a Ludum Dare 27 entry, you can watch the trailer here.

“The song of life sounds different to every ear. The tempo unique to every mind.”

“Explore the remnants of a mysterious civilization on the brink of destruction. A melancholy soundtrack will accompany you on your journey, highlighting each location you visit with its own unique theme… culminating in a world-changing event. TIMEframe is a short, thoughtful experience you won’t soon forget.”

[gfycat data_id="DeterminedTerrificBlacknorwegianelkhound"]xo fleet 2xo decide[gfycat data_id="AltruisticRichCoot"]xo fleetxo planet[gfycat data_id="HardtofindSimpleGrunion"]

A retro space strategy inspired by a mix of BattleStar Galactica and FTL.  I recommend reading through the Kickstarter as there seems to be quite a lot of depth mixed with tough managerial decisions.  Currently in development for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

“Command a ragtag fleet of starships against an unbeatable enemy. You’ll be evacuating refugees, scrounging for resources, overcoming political treachery, and assembling your flock from one jump point to the next. Your goal is to lead what’s left of humanity out of reach from the unknown threat that pursues.”
