IGF - the Independent Games Festival, part of GDC - is a yearly event dedicated to showing the best new and upcoming indie games. The finalists for this year's awards were recently announced, and I had to play some of them for myself. As usual, they knocked it out of the park with some truly great indie games.

Feel free to come snail with us!

Ruffy and the Riverside is an upcoming 3D platformer with a unique gameplay mechanic. I got the chance to play new demo early and got to try this unique feature firsthand, and experience the game's gorgeous art and animations as well.

Death of the Reprobate is an absurdist comedy from Joe Richardson, creator of The Procession to Calvary. Using actual medieval paintings, this is a point and click adventure game that is absolutely hilarious and worth a try.

2015 might be the biggest and most important year for indie games. It was the first time that multiple major indies released in a single year. Developers and publishers established themselves. Several big Kickstarter games released. And studios would have critical success but financial flops that would force them to be sold later down the line. We are still feeling the effects of 2015 ten years later.

Palworld has been out for one year now, and it feels like the game has been plagued by controversies. From accusations of ripping off Pokemon, an actual lawsuit from Nintendo, AI art, cryptocurrency, and a previous game from the developer still in early access, is Palworld itself worth all of it?

I researched hundreds of Kickstarter campaigns since 2021 to find the most successful, tracking how much money they earned, how many backers they had, their country of origin, and whether or not they've since released. What I found might surprise you! Or it might not! Or maybe you'll be mildly interested!

Hi all, I created this little indie game called "Rocket!" It's a game that is a bit more on the arcadey side with 7 different game modes. As you play, you earn resources (iron, gold, etc) that you can use to unlock new weapons and ship upgrades to equip. Thus allowing you to play harder levels and score higher. My game has a free demo as well btw.

Hi, would love to gather some feedback on the game I've been working on for the past year. If you are curious, here is our Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2997880/Sunset_High/

It's a demo but I really enjoyed playing this. The comparison to Balatro and its popularity has to be made, if only to make it easier to explain the game: it's blackjack instead of poker, and there's a lot of weird cards and funny references.

Some example are a 13 of spades, pi (3.14) of hearts, a PS1 memory card that allows you to copy another card, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon and other trading card cameo appearances, credit cards, business cards, and so on.

The progression is like a classic roguelike deck builder: you move across floors, defeat enemies, make choices between other events like upgrades, healing and adding new cards, defeat a boss and go to the next floor.

I honestly expect this game to get quite popular when / if it releases on Steam. It's already quite polished, has a cool vibe and while blackjack has simple rules, this game adds so many modifiers that it keeps being interesting.

Edit: I'm blind, it released on Steam 3 months ago! Still a great demo haha, ima go and buy this game now

Steam Next Fest has come and gone. I played around 40 demos this time, and I found 9 promising ones you should check out! Ranging from soulslikes, detective games, old Xbox 360 games, detective games, weird comedy games, and detective games, there is a ton of variety here! Okay, maybe there a lot of detective games...

Otherskin is a third-person shooter that plays like your favorite, obscure, janky action adventure game from the PS3 era. It has a lot going on, with unique powers you absorb from defeated enemies, an array of weapons and power-ups, and a story that feels a lot like Returnal.

Skateboard tricks but with cars! A colleague of mine has been working on this game for a while, streaming his progress on Twitch. No firm release date but it can be wishlisted on Steam though.

Become a master of physics by launching your car into the air, performing kickflips, and grinding rails. Complete missions to unlock levels and cosmetics, practice tricks until perfection, or just goof around with friends.

Fruitbus is a comedy adventure game about driving a food truck around a small island and fulfilling orders. But it's so much more than that, with a fully open world to explore, ingredients to forage, upgrades to make to your truck, and hilarious NPCs to meet with their own side quests and stories.

ON YOUR TAIL IS A TRICKY GAME to judge, based on its demo. It feels like two separate games barely related, with one half a joy to play. The other half, well...

The Switch is known for having a ton of great indie games, and a ton of great retro games. It stands to reason that it also has a lot of fantastic retro-inspired indie games. Too many, even. Today's video is all about showcasing the ten best retro indie hidden gems on the Nintendo Switch!

October is going to be a great month for new indie game releases, with a lot of variety - from creature collectors, horror games, rally racing, and so many more. I found 19 great indies you should check out.

Akimbot is a fantastic 3D platformer inspired by PlayStation classics like Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank. But it can't help but be overshadowed by Astro Bot - another robot-themed, PlayStation-inspired 3D platformer that released just one week later.
