I'm eyeing Slime San next but the aspect ratio and the pulsing borders are kind of a turn off.
I just finished Spark The Electric Jester and I'm bummed that this game is getting little to no attention. It's easily one of my favorite indie platformers.

I been out of the loop for this year when it comes to isometric and tactical indie rpgs
anything worth following announced?
thanks!
Alright, bought.Too bad because Slime-san is great. You can customize the background, and remove the sceen shakes in the settings, but not the pulsing borders. 😘
Understandable, not everyone is into Sonic games. Personally I love this kind of platformer.The demo sadly didn't really resonate with me. I'll probably pick it up when it drops, but I just didn't like the gameplay enough to get it at full price.
I just checked and man it's been over 2 years since that first Hunger Teaser trailer, whoa.Little Nightmares is next week, can't wait
In terms of gameplay it's extremely fast, fluid and fun. I'm a big, big fan of it! It is definitely on the easier side of roguelitss but I actually find that refreshing. Can't recommend it enough for fans of 2D action platformers!Does anyone have impressions on Flinthook?
I was expecting the highly addictive and moderate to hard difficulty roguelite type. But from the reviews I read so far it seems like it's on the shorter and easier side. Would love to hear about it from a fellow gaffer.

Thanks for that! Gameplay sounds like something I would enjoy, I tend to appreciate more a good gameplay on a challenging game.
Have you by any chance played GoNNER?
That's the one roguelite platformer I've played that was really short, not very replayable and still managed to make a lot of sense as a roguelite. If you haven't it seems to be right up your alley.

Returning to the safely of the fire you see a LIDAR scanner on the floor - a trigger press results in a faint glow coming from inside the helmet.

Everything is very interesting. It's from the same developer of Mountain, another game that I enjoyed and shared some of my thoughts about it before. It's not the kind of game many will enjoy, but if you're into more experimental games it's worth checking.
The game idea is pretty simple, you bound with the currently thing you're and oce it's done you may move to a bigger or smaller thing and see the world and another point of view while listening to thoughts of other beings/objects/etc. During the exploration you may find audios from a philosopher(?), the audios fits in the theme of the game so I won't enter into details.
As Mountain where you could leave it spinning alone on your desktop, Everything has an auto play mode where you'll start automatically exploring the world and it's useful for a certain thing you nees to do.

What Remains of Edith Finch - $19.99 (PS4, PC)
