It's WEEK #2 of CYNTHIA-ROTHROCK-TOBER and tonights combo is possibly her most famous western release double bill... it's CHINA O BRIEN 1 & 2! Trailers at 7:30, first movie at 8 (ish) so gather your drinks and snacks and watch this lady dragons martial art attacks! (Look, it rhymed, okay? :P)

TryItDaily#15: CLAWSTROPHOBIA (glockblockgames) has you trapped in a room, using a claw-machine in order to gain enough points for to be let out. Use drinks and catch teddies to get the multipliers and combos that should lead you to your freedom. For me it feels like more (1/2)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

TryItDaily#14-CASTLEVANIA:BELMONTS CURSE. (@Studio_Evil) is maybe not indie, but I love me some Metroidvanias and when one comes out, I gotta try it. So, you know the drill-Vampires, whips, combat, exploration and everything you'd want from a Castlevania game is here and at (1/2)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

TryItDaily#13: DREAD OF THE DEEP (BoostedBytes) is a roguelike shooter where you control a lighthouse protecting treasure from eldritch monsters from the oceans. Aim your light to slow and stun enemies whilst any weapons automatically shoot those they can see. It's a simple 1/2

Charity shop haul today. £2 each for a bunch of SAGA. Already got 1-3 of Saga, so 4-7 is a nice find. Now I wonder if the Underworld adaption has onomatopoeia for all the squeaky pleather? XD

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The final stream of ZOMBIE ARMY 4 for a while, we'll be trying some of the DLC and ... well, probably killing a lot of zombies. With McGaveson, Benchy and Antaeus! FUN! join us : twitch.tv/zombiworkshop

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

TryItDaily#11: BAT IN WHITE (FatSnailStudios) is a simple premise: Keep your bat in shadow as it makes its way to its coffin. Presenting in pure black and white, you'd think this'd be easy, but the issue isn't that you have to make a path in shadow for the bat - it's that you often have to move 1/2

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

TRY-IT-TUESDAY ROUNDUP time again. Here's the posts I made all last week. If there's anything you like here, give the demos a try, wishlist the game, or support the devs in any way you can - even if it's just sharing these games with people that might like 'em... let's go!

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

CYNTHIA ROTHROCKTOBER starts today! It's the first week and we're starting off strong, with a double bill of RIGHTING WRONGS and UNDEFEATABLE. If you're in the discord, trailers start at 7:30ish and the movie at 8ish... we're kinda loose on the start time as peeps gather. See you there! :P

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

TRY-IT-DAILY#10: FULL METAL HELL (7EggGames) is essentially a futuristic vehicular combat version of Brotato with an isometric view. Enter the arena, clear the bots, purchase upgrades and hopefully last longer than I did. :P It's good chaotic combat and I love the creativity- 1/2

120

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

TRY-IT-DAILY#9: SHORTED (MakikataGames) is a roguelike take on the Chain-3 games. Use abilities and boosts to make sure you can beat the score in the limited amount of moves available. So it's not just about getting long chains, but also connecting shapes and unique tiles too!

250

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

TRY-IT-DAILY #8: SUPER ROBO-OH (@foxyboxygames.bsky.social) is a snes-like 1v1 Beat-em-up featuring giant eastern themed robots, so naturally I was into this from the go. The visuals are nicely chunky and cartoony with bright colourful characters and nice character designs. And each-(1/2)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

For a sec I thought I’d misremembered it, so had to return to the shelves and check (I’m getting my steps in this morning!). I’ve got some olde r1 MgM release (and the not sequel, but totally a sequel Crash and Burn too!) :p

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Ah you’re right. I had a region free player for a while and wouldn’t have noticed. Turns out it’s region 1. Same as my RobotJox and a lot of the harder to find cult movies.

My favourite thing about Halloween season is my Youtube feed being filled again with reviewers going "HALLOWEEN 3 IS GOOD ACTUALLY!". I know... It's my favourite Halloween movie. I'm glad I get to rewatch it through other peoples eyes again, especially those discovering it for the first time! 🎃

Tonights stream: We're TEAMWORKING AND TOMFOOLERY-ing whilst dodging zombie sharks and ... well, other undead beasties in ZOMBIE ARMY 4. Join us if you like! twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

TRY-IT-DAILY #6: MR RECORDS is the kind of rhythm game that I love. It tells the tale of an old man running a record shop and when he listens to tracks, you get a level of rhythmic platforming in a trippy dream world. I was instantly smitten with the artstyle and the fact that...

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Try It Tuesday Stream is starting now. So if you want to see what new/indiegaming demos we're trying out. Head on over to twitch.tv/zombiworkshop and see what's what... there's bound to be a gem or two there! :)

My 9 Games... uh... that I feel guilty that I've not picked up yet, but when I do... maaan, I'm looking forward to playing them. :P

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

My 9 games... that I can't wait to come out cos I'm loving the look of them!

#my9games (that I love, but there's too many to list, so this are just the ones off the top of my head!)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Gotcha! Lets still try roundups on Try It Tuesdays! If there's something you like, check it out, wishlist and support the devs in anyway you can. If I've missed something you think I should check out, link it here too - and hopefully we'll get to it on tonights stream. :)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Last week we watched 5 Headed Shark Attack and then I surprised them with HOT SPRING SHARK ATTACK which was a great send up of various japanese tropes. This week it's 6 HEADED SHARK ATTACK annnd... you'll have to turn up to find out. Discord. Trailers at 7:30, Movie at 8..ish. :P

010

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

TRY IT DAILY #5: SHADOWS OF THE DUNGEON (ZartGames) is an advanced FPS dungeon crawler, and when I say advanced, I mean "anything but simple". I love me some crawling and the controls were good, visuals were good, but it seems there's a lot of mechanics and I died several times.

110

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

TRY-IT-DAILY #4: CONDUCTOR CAT (@GrimmTalesLLC) Has you playing a furry train operator helping the locals in a decaying canyon. It's primarily a platformer collect-a-thon where each area presents you with tons of collectibles, places to explore, and characters to help...

141

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

TRY-IT-DAILY #3: UNCLE LEE'S COOKBOOK (@relativelypainlessgames.com) is a collection of point-n-click adventures caused by a reality scrabbling uncle. Chunky pixels, bright colours, and full voice acting really shine in this simplified take on the PnC formula. Puzzles are interesting, and the-

Finally my buddy @n-e-webb.bsky.social has put the Britformers collection together in a tradepaperback! So if you missed out, or if you like transforming robots with more of a Brit theme to it, support an indie, and get his 130+ pages of story/art/funstuff for just £20+P&P now.

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

TRY IT DAILY #2 : If you like Pac-man but wanted some shooty action and boss-battles... then EATY (@tanzigames) is perfect for you. It's got good controls, lovely chunky pixelart and classic gameplay meaning you can pick it up and it should feel instantly familiar...

150

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It's time to punch **** zombies again! Part 3 of our adventure with Antaeus, Benchy and the ever present McGaveson! Join us to see how much dead we can... make deader! twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

043

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

First TRY-IT-DAILY. Lets kick it off with JUST MORE DOORS (@teagher.bsky.social), a liminal space puzzle where you have to escape a room by just going the right door. But behind every door is another door, and another door, etc. Are the rooms repeating? Or is it all part of a bigger pattern?

261

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It's TRY IT TUESDAY time! We're trying out a bunch of indie demos to see what's out there. Want a preview? Head over to twitch.tv/zombiworkshop and see what we're playing! :)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Again, I love Dungeon Crawlers, I enjoy coding, and I also love a red/black pixelart aesthetic... Now here comes DUNGEON AUTOMATA (@RawFury) doing all three! Watch your dungeon-diving golems explore and battle in the way you program them, then improve that for the next run! SOLD!

100

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

DEAD SPIN (@strong_monkey_g) is essentially a vs roguelike slot machine. Play against the computer or your friend, customise and twist the machine to your will, and whoever loses... fries! A little Cloverpit, a little Shotgun Roulette - all creepy roguelike fun.

110

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

OH!WARE (@Perridot4) is a roguelike take on Mancala. I absolutely loved the theme and vibes from this gem, and relearning how to play the game with new powers, strategicly powered abilities and that moment where everything lands perfectly? A no brainer - easily recommended!

110

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

If you grew up with Castlevania on the NES and want something similar, but 2P - then TOZIUHA NIGHT: NOSFERATU'S CURSE (@dannygaray60) is right here! From the glorious retro visuals, tight controls to some of that punishing difficulty too - it's perfect for those that love retro!

120

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

CALICO WILDER AND THE CRYSTAL BLADE (@WaveParadigm) is an 3D platformer that pretty much perfects the art of fluid movement in this cartoony action adventure. Loved exploring, finding secrets and hunting down those shiney SHINEY collectables. Loved it - Try it in the link below!

110

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

ALIEN BREED 35th ANNIVERSARY (@commodoreofcl) is essentially a collection of Amiga roms in a nice, new shell. I loved that it controls so well with just a controller... maybe if this does well we can get a good remaster? However, if you dig AlienBreed, this is not a bad shout!

110

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Okay, FINAL Try-It-Tuesday thread, before we mix up the format and try daily indie-game posts for a while. So take the time to give these indie games a nosey... Let's start with...

141

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's part 3 of SHARKTEMBER. Last week was 3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK and the surprise movie was TRAILER PARK SHARK... today we jump to FIVE Headed Shark attack and... something very VERY silly. Joining us? Get in the Discord. Trailers start now. Movie at 8ish. :)

021

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Hey. Just a thought. When I do the TRY-IT-TUESDAY ROUNDUP posts (Where I highlight a bunch of indiegames we played each stream), would you prefer it to stay as 1 thread of indie games so you can check them all out in one go, or would you prefer daily single game posts instead? Just a thought?

241

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Join us tonight for some more NOTZEE Zombie Hunting as we play ZOMBIE ARMY 4: DEAD WAR with McGaveson, Antaeus, and Benchy! Now if you could all let me get some kills in, that'd be nice! :P twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

TRY IT TUESDAY TIME ALREADY!? Well, after reading the roundup this afternoon - how about joining us shortly for some new indie game demos' we're testing out this week. Hopefully some diamonds in the rough here, eh? twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

TRY IT TUESDAY ROUNDUP TIME! Douse yourself in some IndieGames for a couple of minutes whilst I tell you about a few games we played last week... and then you can support them or maybe just get on with your day. Hows that? Let's start with...

ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks) @zombiworkshop.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Last week, the Movie Knights watched 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK followed by the stupidly funny GRAVEYARD SHARK. This week, they're taking on 3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK and another hopefully dumb fun not-what-you-expect Shark film too. If you're in the discord, trailers 7:30, movie at 8ish. See you there. :)
