If you haven’t discovered Fleb yet, check out his previous games: 20 Small Mazes and Strange Jigsaws. They’re some of my favorite games from recent times, deconstructing the very idea of what a puzzle can be. I can’t wait for the new one to come out

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

you already know what's up (summer game sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on more obscure, older, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that out of the way: onwards!

a title card for my game sale rec thread, that says THE SPACETWINKS REC THREAD: YET ANOTHER COLLECTION OF WEIRDASS SHIT, FOR YOU, rendered in classic CGA colors. on the left is a picture of my kangaroo fursona, and behind it are pieces of art and screenshots from various games that will be featured in the thread.

Killer7 divided audiences and critics when it came out 20 years ago, but its influence and esteem only continues to grow. Here's @marcnormandin.bsky.social on the lasting impact of one of Suda51's first hits. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Killer7's Influence Continues to Grow 20 Years Later

There’s a difference between shock for shock’s sake and giving players what they don't expect. Killer7 is made entirely out of the latter.

Metro Gravity just fully released (I featured the demo in my last video) gravity bending, puzzle-focused Pseudoregalia meets rhythmic and musical Sekiro combat I had a great time with the demo and was blown away by it being a solo dev project. Check it out. store.steampowered.com/app/2986450/...

Metro Gravity on Steam

Explore, fight, solve puzzles and bend gravity to escape the dream-like world of the Halls! Metro Gravity is a mind-boggling musical adventure with rhythmic combat and compelling lore.

Everyone who likes knowledge-based games should play Leap Year—a very February, 3-hour-long precision platformer with a cool twist and several “aha” moments!

Big shoutout to @ivyroadgames.bsky.social for giving me the chance to preview Wanderstop! So, is it just a cozy game about making tea? Kinda! But in the 3 hours I got to play, a very relatable story about severe burnout and the road to recovery took center stage. youtu.be/IwUiHYAD75A

Strange thing – the more frustration I get from Void Stranger, the more I wanna dive into this rabbit hole. Just when I thought I had reached the end, the game hit me with a hook that I wouldn’t stop until I’d seen everything in it. And let me tell you, there’s some seriously wild stuff down there!

This world definitely needs more 3D metroidvania/platformers like Pseudoregalia. I especially appreciate it when developers leave room for mastering hidden abilities embedded in the game’s core mechanics Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3471320 #indigames

It’s somewhat unfair that Antichamber is rarely mentioned when it comes to knowledge-based games. This outstanding puzzle game features non-linear exploration and is a true masterclass in thinking outside the box. Recommend it to anyone who is into this type of game @demruth.bsky.social #indiegames

Not long ago, The Verge wrote about David Lynch and his influence on video games. Beyond the obvious Alan Wake, Deadly Premonition, and Disco Elysium, he also managed to inspire The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and indirectly G-Man’s character in Half-Life. www.theverge.com/23906355/dav...

David Lynch’s presence has been haunting video games for decades

Something interesting to think about.

It’s remarkable how little Arco needs to make you connect with its world and characters. The setting is incredibly captivating, featuring quirky fantasy themes woven into a grounded narrative about revenge and cultural preservation, delivering emotional blows when you least expect them

I couldn't sleep last night so I started on a filterable spreadsheet of the best free PC games around. Sort by genre, system requirements, multiplayer, etc, F2P status, etc. Still got lots to fill in, but I think I've made great progress for one day. Check it out and suggest more additions!

Lorelei and The Laser Eyes (Steam Deck, 29 hours) - a noir puzzle game about our perception of the world through art, where a pen and notebook might prove more essential than a gamepad. Even if you feel a bit mad at times, in the end, you’ll believe you’re the smartest person ever.

Minishoot’ Adventures is my definition of a cozy game. It’s a colorful, joyful, and well-designed Zelda-like adventure. The exploration and upgrades feel rewarding, and the bullet-hell elements strike the perfect balance—challenging enough to be engaging but not overly punishing. Good game.

I enjoyed The Rise of the Golden Idol. The sequel improves on the original in most ways, amplifying what made the first game great and placing it in a fresh setting. While the novelty may no longer be there, if you enjoyed the first game, you’re going to love this one too
