If you want to suggest a game that has recently released or that looks interesting, but hasnt released yet, please follow the following formatting structure so the post is picked up by Toma-Bot:

Released games:

Copy the appropriate content and add the proper information for the black writing. Please only include 1 link and 1 image. I tried making it a bit failsafe, so it should be able to deal with 2 links or images as well, but 1 is safer.

If the game is free, then put "Free" as the price, otherwise please use $ or € for the price. You can also include more than one game per post (like the Screenshot saturday posts), but please stick to the above format for every entry.

If someone posts a non-proper formatted post, I'd appreciate if you could repost the game with the same info in the proper format.

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.

This is a monthly podcast series that presents notable Indie Game soundtracks. A likeable host and guests, a fantastic track selection, interesting discussions and a focus for Indies will make this one a mainstay in my monthly threads.

A short game about saving the world.

Deadbolt - Free alpha (PC)

http://hopoo.itch.io/deadbolt

Deadbolt is a side-view action shooter made by the same developers of Risk of Rain. The best comparison that I have heard is a mix between Hotline Miami's twitch shooting and over-the-top gore along with Gunpoint's tactical traversing. You just run around and shoot thingsThe plan is that the more you play, the better arsenal of weapons you have. While you start with a fully loaded gun, the bullets are never enough to clear the whole building; therefore, you have to scavenge the weapons of other enemies, resulting in an almost puzzle-like gameplay of bouncing between different enemies to get ammo to kill the next.

Heart of Morning - Free (PC)

http://www.seregsarn.net/heartofmorning/

Heart of Morning is a pretty straightforward retrieve-the-MacGuffin dungeon crawl, with one twist: You start as an endgame-level character, the victorious hero of a previous roguelike. The wrinkle is that the dungeon is very gear-hostile, featuring rust monsters and dire astrojags and the like; replacement equipment is highly uncommon, so you’ll struggle to lose as little gear as possible as you make your way through the dungeon, hoping to retain enough of it to fight and win the final battle at the bottom.

Hotline Miami 2
It's more Hotline Miami. What more could you want? A twisting crazy Lynch-esque story. New characters and masks. More levels, from tight corridors to more open expansive areas. Inventive twists on the core gameplay. It's Hotline Miami, expanded and even more frenetic.

Parallax
A atmospheric monochromatic puzzler. The goal is simple - reach the exit - but doing so isn't so easy. By manipulating portals, you traverse parallel worlds, which usually have different layouts and where activating switches can affect elements across both worlds. It's seamless and just really cool passing between worlds. The game continually adds new elements, from booster pads and twisting gravity-defying platforms. The puzzles do rely more on trial and error which can get kind of annoying but the visuals and core mechanics are really fun

Deadbolt
2D shooter from the dev of Risk of Rain. It's reminiscent of Gunpoint and Hotline Miami, as your modern Grim Reaper blows aways supernatural gangs. The controls are tight. The gameplay is bloody, fast-paced, and just satisfying. And the game is already full of cool little details, like spraying gore and using cover. The current alpha is pretty light on content, but what's there is fun and addictive.

Voyd
A simple and stylish arcade hack n slash. Evade attacks, dash through enemies, pull off kill chains. Not much more than that, but still a fun little game. The flashy visuals are cool

I cant believe just HOW good that game turned out. I mean I knew it would be good, but its basically a return to form in regard to the best Black Isle RPGs.

That is very, very, very high praise. This game made me raise another toast to Kickstarter.

I usually think before buying games that cost relatively high but for Pillars I didn't think twice.

Hey, no need to remind me. I've got a towering 9 foot tall death godlike monk making his way through the game, one face punch and roundhouse kick at a time. In retrospect, death was probably the worst choice of the godlike sub types for an endurance fighter class in that game, but oh well you are never gonna make your best character first time through.

I'm playing as a Orlan Paladin from the Kind Wayfarers

Been holding off starting pillars just so a few of the gamebreakers are patched out.

I think with the coming of the next patch mostly of the game breaking bugs are going to be addressed.

My impressions on Wrack, about 45 min playtime on it. It is beautiful. The art feels like I am running around in a living comic book. The gameplay itself is pretty much what you would expect. Shoot stuff, find keys, backtrack and open door to next area. The bosses are great, well designed both functionally and artistically. For the price I would say it is worth it. If you are sick of standard FPS fare, have a ton in inventory already you haven't gotten to, and want something more to hold your interest, then pass on it. Otherwise, don't miss this one.

Any thoughts on Dyscourse? Forgot that the Kickstarter had succeeded. Any backers here?

I've played it a little - not a huge amount but quite liked what I've seen so far - I've read its a bit short but it's intended to be played a few times to get your money's worth.

Hoping to give it some more decent playtime this month.

Yeah, the trailer is great. Atmosphere and creature design is absolutely glorious. Oh man. But yeah, my excitement was dimmed a bit when I realized it was more Outlast than Silent Hill. I will still definitely check it out when I can! But yeah, $10 instead of $15 would expedite that.

And awesome! I was hoping to hear that so I can harass them with questions haha. Who is it?

Yo!

And cheers for the comments, even critical ones are appreciated

I had fun playing Party Hard earlier this year, but I really sucked at the game and I have to say that the version I played felt very simple, but I think I barely touched the game and I'm sure it has more depth than that.

Got to test Spacejacked in Singapore last summer as well and I really enjoyed my time with it and it looks like it has improved a lot since then. Shame that there's no multiplayer or co-op, but I recommend trying out the Webdemo over on Gamejolt.

vouching for Unium, not a bad puzzle game at all, especially for that price, I haven't finished it yet, but from what I played, it's a zen game and promises some challenge later too, easy and medium levels are easy, though.

I quite enjoyed it too - nice simple controls that although it feels like it's more suited to a touchscreen it works just fine with the mouse.
