Indie games of interest

  1. Rhythm Storm - A bullet heaven rogue-lite but with a rhythm twist, AND it kind of looks like Geometry Wars
  2. Railborn - A first person survival game with your train as a home base, coming to us from the Parkasaurus people so it should be of note.
  3. Enginefall - Choo choo
  4. Flesh Made Fear - Classic Survival Horror
  5. Troublemaker 2: Beyond Dream - A Yakuza style Open World RPG with a distinctly Indonesian flavor!
  6. Speed Demons 2 - An awesome looking racing game with unconventional camera angles!
  7. Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree - A sick looking action rogue-lite, although I'm not sure if Brownies inc. should be considered indie or not.
  8. Humblets - ULTRA COZY
  9. Dark Mine - ULTRA NOT COZY
  10. Pizza Bandit - 4 P{layer co-op 3rd person shooter where you play as a mercenary to fund a pizza restaurant?
