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

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.
