Drop ball, ball bounce off peg, number go up, repeat. HYPERDROP from Dark Dark Goose and @devolverdigital.com is here to send your lizard brain into overdrive.

Screenshots of HYPERDROP, and info including its 2027 release date, and that it's an arcade, casual, strategy, pachinko game. HYPERDROP's full title is HYPERDROP: A Pachinko Roguelite. It pretty much does what it says on the tin, but add in some pulsing beats and Geometry Wars-esque art direction and you get this entrancing demo.
Clearing the board isn't the goal in HYPERDROP, a high score is, and you get to directly influence how you build that score by upgrading the pegs on your board and building an arsenal of balls with different abilities.
This game tickles your lizard brain in all the right ways.

Choices *really* matter in Contact Protocol, a starship job simulator from @coldzephyrgames.bsky.social and @kineticpub.bsky.social

Image with some screenshots of video game Contact Protocol, text reads

Release: 2027, time management, story rich, choices matter

As security officer aboard a corporate vessel, it's up to you to determine whether approaching ships can pass by verifying their information with the company's.
But it's not all cut and dry: people can and will lie about their intentions, and all the while, your company and your fellow employees are breathing down your neck.
