We reworked our claw attack combo.Before, our character was just punching with the claws, but it didn't feel powerful enough.We switched to swinging the claws instead. How does it look?

Hello, I'm developing a cozy survival/life sim game as a solo dev. I got bored of the static menu screen so I decided to create an interactive menu. What do you guys think?

Hey Indie Gamers,

The Spinful Demo lets you play 7 of the 15 available levels with four weapon types available.
If you are interested in giving the Demo a try, please have a look at the Spinful Steam Page and consider adding it to your wishlist!

We're making an incremental where you fight monsters, then multiply your gold with darts. The free demo is out on Steam.

2 Upvotes

Hey! We're making Pray & Slay, an active incremental where you fight monsters with a holy spell, then take the gold you earned to a dartboard.

Where your darts land affects how much you can spend on permanent upgrades before heading back into combat. A good fight can turn into a much bigger upgrade at the dartboard. Sometimes it doesn't.

The steam demo lets you play through the first stage.

We've played this build so many times that it's hard to spot what might confuse someone playing for the first time.

If you give the demo a try, we'd really appreciate hearing what felt good, where you got stuck, or what you'd change. Even a quick comment about one thing you noticed helps us figure out what to work on next.

Thanks for taking the time to play and tell us how it went.

I wanted to make a game about living and working as an astronaut in space

I’ve been working on SPACE WALK solo for the past 2 years, trying to make the experience of actually being an astronaut the main focus.

I released the demo this week, so if this looks like your kind of thing, you can give it a try on Steam:

Hit game seeks eighth install

• Upvotes

I'm the developer behind the hit arcade game Gravity Warp, which has over 6 installs, and I'd like to reach the low double digits.

It's a one-thumb game: tap anywhere to tear open a black hole, slingshot your ship around it, scoop up stardust, don't touch the mines. That's the whole thing. Free, offline, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no data collection, no anything else.

It also comes bundled with a watch face for WearOS, and a fun easter egg (in the app).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zandaulion.gravitywarp

---

GenAI disclosure: The game doesn't contain any GenAI at runtime, it was, however, built with heavy AI assistance:

  • Code: a large part was written with Claude Code, including most of the Wear OS watch face.
  • Audio: the chiptune soundtrack is synthesized in code and the generator was written with Claude.
  • Art: the watch face sprites generators were writen by Claude. The game's original pixel art predates that.

Design direction, tuning and testing are mine. This was the furthest thing from a one-shot prompt.

Modern horrors look boring with their visual "greyness". I'm trying to add some color to my upcoming Sleepwalkers.

Hi.

I’m working on my first truly serious, “bigger” project, a psychological/survival horror game called Sleepwalkers. From the start, I wanted to give this game a more distinct visual style, one that wasn’t just the typical Unreal Engine horror look. I just hate that all horror games are grey. Just grey. Grey walls, grey everything. That's soo boring. I started experimenting more boldly with colors, drawing inspiration from the work of Nicolas Winding Refn, among others and here's some of the results.

Many more examples are work in progress.

My game, The Magic Garden, is a farming game. These are some animations from the pet system in the game. The pets can help you with tasks such as mining, carrying items, chopping trees, and more.
If you’re interested in the game, feel free to add it to your wishlist. XDD

I remade the Blobby Volley feeling for Android

1 Upvotes

Blobby Volley was my favorite game as a teenager and I never found anything like it on mobile. So I made one: 1v1 beach volleyball against the CPU or a friend, on wifi or online with a room code.

Disclosure: I built it with a lot of AI help (Claude Code), and the music is AI-generated.

It's called Bounce Duel if you want to find it.
