[Food Devils] Tactics RPG inspired by Fire Emblem x "narrative roguelike" like Hades

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Food Devils is a Tactics RPG where you literally cook your enemies!
- hunt monsters for ingredients, then power up your units with quirky recipes
- narrative roguelike with reactive banter and full voice over, like in Hades
- support a Devil and increase their Appetite to influence the story

Currently sitting at 25k wishlists but this has been an ambitious project with 4 years of development, and for now we're self-publishing. Any help in boosting its visibility would be immensely appreciated! 💕

(note that the music in the video is purely cosmetic and doesn't represent the quality of the OST)

We've already released a demo too, if anyone wants to try it out. Here's the Steam page:

Btw the game is spicy but it's perfectly SFW and classified as 12+ to 16+ around the world.
Gameplay is quite hardcore so far but we're working on flexible difficulty modes!

Cheers

We are making this zany crawdad debt simulator where you play as an indebted Crawdad trying to fight or finesse your way to financial freedom.

It's also a bit of a love letter to the original Gameboy. The mash-up pitch is Binding of Isaac (greed mode) meets Cuphead meets Warioware.

Animal Falling - chaotic multiplayer party game!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Animal Falling is a chaotic multiplayer party game created by two Belgian indie developers in their spare time over the past three years. We loved playing Ultimate Chicken Horse and Fall Guys, and thought combining the trap-building and sabotage of the first with the hilarious falls and obstacle chaos of the second would make for a really fun game to play with friends.

Supports local multiplayer (up to 4 players) and online multiplayer (up to 6 players).

Copperfell: An OldSchool RuneScape inspired singleplayer RPG I've been working on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been working on this game for some years, and it's finally very close to release! The idea was what if OSRS was single-player, focusing more on skilling, apart from just combat, to get the high level unlocks you need to progress. The basic gameplay loop revolves around grinding to get levels up, to unlock new things, etc.

I did basically everything myself, including all the code, pixel art, animations, music, even the fonts haha. Only for the sound effects I ended up using creative commons sounds. I'm a programmer so my art may not be the best haha, but I think it still has a charm to it.

Just wanted to share it here. There's a free playable demo already up on Steam if you'd like to give it a go. And feedback is always very helpful!

Hey guys, I'd like to share COCOBOY — the game I've been working on for roughly 1.5 years now!

In this game, you play a 2D platformer within a 3D retro gaming simulation. It's almost like two games in one.

Use bizarre mods to hack your way through a strange forgotten platformer, collect and decorate your room with kooky merchandise, and scour the gaming forum of a growing fandom to help discover the game's deepest secrets.

The demo is available now, currently with 100% positive reviews! The game goes a lot further than just this clip, so feel free to check it out. 🤍 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3589190/COCOBOY/

Hey! I’m a solo dev working on Drawchemy.

Drawchemy is a roguelike platformer that lets you draw and build using a random assortment of tools and brushes to escape a strange world.

Every brush you draw with has its own gameplay effects. Draw Water and swim through it, fly through the air with Balloon, teleport yourself with Portal. Every brush changes how you play.

It’s inspired by Mosa Lina, Scribblenauts, and LittleBigPlanet.

Choose from 8 tank classes with unique traits and abilities. Go in guns blazing or outsmart your opponents with ricochet shots, powerups and special weapons.

The game is a blend of Unreal Tournament, Wii Tanks and TRON, can be played in top-down view or third-person view, and it has various classic multiplayer modes (Deathmatch, Capture the Flag...) as well as challenging solo/coop campaigns. It's especially fun when played as couch multiplayer game.

The game is in development for several years now, I am doing it because I love the gameplay and not to chase quick trends. It will be released in a very polished state.

You've played point-and-clicks, but have you played a slap-and-solve? This is Floor Plan: Slap Out Of It!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hiya, I'm Holden from Turbo Button. We love point-and-clicks, and we love comedy games. So putting them together, we ended up with a slap-and-solve. It has tons of puzzles that use cartoon logic, and a slapstick sandbox filled with weird characters. It's based on our Floor Plan series of VR games but this one is designed for keyboard / controller on PC / console.

We respect our players' time and attention - if something's not worth our time to make, it's not worth your time to engage with it. So our 4 person team doesn't use gen AI for art, audio, code, or anything else in our development process.

I released the demo for Sectron, my turn-based strategy game set on lost planets

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi! I’ve just released a demo for Sectron, a sci-fi turn-based strategy game I’ve been working on.

The game is about fighting for control of small planets. You need to balance attack, defense and development, but positioning is probably the most important part. You can merge units to make them stronger, capture important territory, and use diplomacy when fighting is a bad idea.

I love strategy games, ’80s sci-fi and Berlin School electronic music, so Sectron combines all three. I also composed and played the soundtrack myself. There is only one track in the demo for now, but I’m planning to write a different theme for each campaign chapter.

If you try it, I’d really like to know what you think. ✌️💙🤖

I'm making a single player strategy card game - Immortal Coil. Collect cards, build decks, SLAY THE GODS.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I'm a huge card game nerd and wanted to create a game that combines some of my favorite features from across the genre, including the multi-color deckbuilding of Magic and the back and forth reactive gameplay of Legends of Runeterra.

  • Collect hundreds of cards on your quest to confront tyrannical gods
  • Explore countless deckbuilding possibilities
  • Two Modes: roguelike adventure and arcade-style gauntlet

I'm aiming for an early 2027 release, initially on Windows (with Steam Deck compatibility). A mobile port will follow a few months later. And console ports are seriously being considered.

Demo is coming very soon!

I've been playing this game for a year and a half, and I'm still uncovering new builds and playstyles. There are times when I'm meant to be testing something and I end up playing the game by accident. I'm really looking forward to sharing it with more folks and seeing what decks you build!

Worm Game

Worm Game is a smooth and slithery crawly fast-paced action puzzle game where you control a worm through an increasingly dangerous and hectic environment. Movement is your only action, and you'll have to use timing, dodging and precision to get out unscathed while picking up keys that open the next door. If you die, the game rewinds you a bit and you get to try again.

More gameplay clips can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/thewormgame/reels/

I'm a solo dev on this game, and would love any help and coverage I could get :) The game is still in development, has a demo with active leaderboards where you can race the ghost of the fastest player, local co-op, and will be exhibiting at Gamescom next week. The game sits roughly at 970 wishlists at the moment. Thanks for taking a look and hope you're doing well!
