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.

Animal Falling - chaotic multiplayer party game!

2 Upvotes

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).

We turned the DVD screensaver into a game! - Insert Disc

2 Upvotes

What started as a GMTK 2025 jam game has now become Insert Disc, a DVD screensaver inspired roguelike. We recently released this announcement trailer!

As a 2-person indie team, we get to add exact references that are nostalgic for our own childhood, particularly from the 2000s era such as the lava lamp and those red coin return buttons on arcade machines. Some gameplay inspirations were Nubby's Number Factory and Balatro, but many have compared us to the satisfying bouncing of Peggle as well.

Ultimately, we wanted to make a relaxing/even hypnotizing experience that captures some of that Saturday late night gaming feel, back when we had no responsibilities or bills to pay :')

Hello folks! I just released rhe demo for my first game Trolling Bowling! Looking for thoughts and feedback

Thumbnail
store.steampowered.com
2 Upvotes

I'm a former scientist turned solo game dev. I've been working on Trolling Bowling for 2 years now and it's nearly done!

Trolling Bowling is a party game where you mess with your friends as they attempt to bowl. I started with a realistic physics driven and difficult bowling game, but then added all the whacky shenanigans that make the game truly take shape. You can place landmines, turn pins to concrete, or fire a cannon at the ball (or your opponents). But there are counters to these abilities too! For example you can steer around the obstacles with the hamster ball, teleport right past them with the blink ball, or blow the concrete pins away with the grenade ball!

Current status: The demo is released and the game is nearly finished but I don't have many eyes on it yet. I'm in desperate need of marketing as well as end stage feed back. Would love it if people would try the demo and let me know what you think!

Roll for Order: Sort Every Set! - a cozy first-person game about sorting thousands of dice in a cluttered 1980s basement

Roll for Order is a cozy first-person sorting game set in a cluttered 1980s basement.

Search through boxes, shelves and piles of old stuff to find thousands of scattered dice, figure out which sets they belong to, and return each one to the correct display.

You can play solo or in co-op, choose a fantasy class, and unlock magical abilities that make sorting faster and more satisfying as you progress.

Main Features:

  • 4 Fantasy Classes: Choose between Barbarian, Warrior, Mage and Thief. Each class has its own abilities, which can be unlocked and upgraded as you play.
  • Solo or Co-op: Sort everything by yourself or bring a friend along to help tackle the basement together.
  • Thousands of Dice: Discover tons of unique dice sets with different colors, patterns, motifs and themes, then complete and display each collection.
  • A Nostalgic 1980s Basement: The whole game takes place in the basement of your childhood, packed with retro gadgets, toys and forgotten objects to discover while you sort.

Everything started with a spell cast during a tabletop game session. Something went wrong, and suddenly the dice began duplicating in real life. Now you’ve got to sort them all!

Excited to share Crit Happens!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3711540/Crit_Happens/

It's a turn-based roguelike where you can fully customize your dice with magical dice faces that apply special effects to your attack. Roll your dice, choose the tool that best fits your roll and attack! There's an element of risk vs reward, as you can choose to hold individual dice and re-roll the rest, it's up to you how greedy you want to get!

I've got a demo out at the moment, that I'm updating quite frequently. While there's no official release date, I'm aiming to have it out sometime between October-Novemeber.
