My favorite games showcase of the summer hasn't come from Gamescom or the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest - it's come courtesy of a new Twitter trend that has indie developers showing off the games that they can't afford to p🔯latform at these big events. 

The tಞext is always the same: "Gamescom trailer is more than 100k dollars, so here is a [gif/video/trailer]." But the occasional joy of like these is that the games getting swept alongside the viral trend couldn't be more different to one another - paranormal horrors sit next to cute cat games in the algorithm - so here's a rundown of a few highlights. 

Here's another look at 3D Metroidvania Abyss X Zero's kickass action and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:even cooler character customization, coming from the developers behind the incredible Unsighted, who say their upcoming game is "inspired by Mega Man Legends and W🍸ind Waker." It's definitely one to watch for whenever it hits .

Next up is a collection of musical mini-games (hello, Rhythm Heaven) that's threatening to permanently worm its beeping, booping chiptunes into m൩y head. Bits and Bops comes to early next year.

Claustrophobic space station corridors, wrenches, imsim elements, and a bunch of messed up enemies looking to bite your face? Yep, RetroSpace is definitely summoning System [Bio]Shock in allᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the best ways, with a gorgeous style attached too. And, wait... are those Vita-Chambers on its page?

Psychofinger looks cool! It's a comic book FPS where you fingerbang blowfish, according to the tweet below. Its page elaborates that it's actually a roguelike with some bonk💦ers builds. How do four finger pistols sound? What about one stuck in a rock 'n' roll hand sign? Would the addition of a foot make you more excitꦚed? Because Psychofinger has a kick too.

Music is outlawed in dystopian, cyberpunky, turn-based RPG Keylocker, so you do the only rational thing: fight the powers that be with strings and drums and art, man. The trailer begins strong enoug♔h with jaw-droppi🐬ng pixel art and interesting grid-based combat, but it absolutely goes off the rails in the second half (in a complimentary way). Keylocker is out September 18 on .

There’s so much more to look forward to, so why not check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming indie games of 2024 and beyond guide?
