going to make a thread to follow all the indie trash i find on twitter / kickstarter / steam

only games i think worth mentioning for hilarious missteps or potential hype

Ultimate Chicken Horse

ultimate chicken horse comes to xbox finally tomorrow so now its on every platform
its like party jumper / meatboy where you make your own level and complete with your friends to finish it

CrossCode

crosscode also apparently comes out tomorrow if twitter isnt lying to me
its been early access for a long time and i’ve been waiting pensively

not much gameplay description because i haven’t actually played it but it looks like a zelday ninja like game with interesting puzzle mechanics

v cute art

an intellectual:
available on mac

i have this installed already

Jack and Casie

its like the attache case gameplay from resident evil 4 mixed with a little bit of the programming system from megaman battle network
the order of stuff in your inventory matters for what order your character will use weapons / items in battle
and you can constantly rearrange
she comes across stuff and you have to manage it in real time and you get cute dialogue etc

Blue Omen Operation

its like a bit of paper mario and a bit of mother series together
or like cough hack “undertale” (its not really like undertale)

Macbat 64

A really garbage ‘lost Rare’ game that perfectly emulates n64 style characters / dialogue / objectives / bad controls / bad camera / gameplay

It plays like a unity asset flip but most of the assets look uniquely made to jar together just like an n64 game

that Grant Kirkhope guy actually voices a fucking character I think

after you beat the main game there is a bit of a postgame with bonus chapters and finding ‘hidden’ collectibles
the bonus chapters are bizarre and like, take off the limiters and do weird shit you aren’t expecting

its notable when I never felt like it deserved to be but it sure is fucking notable

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyperponk Bartend Action

it’s basically a visual novel where you sometimes mix drinks with a really simple interface and have to remember what each customer likes. it’s got some good writing and a really really good OST so if you like VNs get it

cross code isn’t out yet? I coulda sworn it was already released. tag for more indie garbage

From: imgay at 2017-12-15 15:06:48

the illegal power of being able to use different names and avatars on every zone

apparently xcode only came out in japanese which makes sense why that tweet was written in japanese and said ¹⁵⁄₁₂ on the 14th

hey thats cute
you made a cute thing worth having fun for 30 minutes
https://revstudio.itch.io/bedtime-fright

no this completely devalues all other 5$ and 10$ games
this is by definition of the market
a 1-3$ mobile game

i’d be on your side and promoting your shit if you put it up at that price

lie to yourself if you need to
put it on for 3$ onsale for 1$

Kingdom is a 2D sidescrolling strategy/resource management hybrid with a minimalist feel wrapped in a beautiful, modern pixel art aesthetic.

descriptions i dont want to see in this topic for 1000 alex

also it doesnt appear to be free

which is fine? maybe its a 5 dollar game
but you sure havent done any convincing
and the screenshots are bad
and the videos are bad they look like a title video / attract mode

show me a screenshot of actual gameplay

they’re so far up their own ass on their steam page about posting “artsy shots” that they dont seem to understand their pixel art aesthetic seen in 1,000 other games is ugly as sin

dont do that
dont do bad pixel art and shaders

i dug deeper and its a tower defense
possibly the only worse genre then clicker and match 3
at least in clicker idle games you have to click
and in match 3 games you have to spam clicks “skillfully” to match 3
tower defense games you only watch

fyi
the title indie trash is supposed to be
ironic

Super Cat (Bros) Tales

The last level is bad and poorly designed but on the whole this game is a so much better platformer then you ever deserved to get on your phone

this is also the first action game i ever found with a control scheme that didn’t supremely suck

Launched as super cat bros but nintendo nuked that name shortly before mario run

ad supported
ad free was a few bucks, ads when you die? just buy the ad free
use airplane mode to see a ‘free demo’

cat :3

i’d rather you post a bad opinion so i can shut down the gamer gate
then you keep the bad opinion in silence and allow it to grow
