Every weekend, indie developers showcase their work in progress on Twitter #screenshotsSaturday label. And every Monday, I offer you a selection of these shots and clips. This week, my gaze was drawn to a walking witch shack, using a shotgun to rocket-jump, Dark Messiah-style kicks in spikes, and unusual animal encounters. Come see!
Of course, jump shotgun in Sprawl parkour shooter (arrives on Steam) corresponds to my understanding of Newton’s third law:
Hope you’re ready to jump shotgun…very soon.

Having weird feelings of seniority seeing a spooOoky game not on a haunted floppy disk or possessed NES cartridge, but on a cursed Xbox 360 game after the red ring of death:
Is this some kind of twisted joke @GameStop ? I took my Xbox 360 to one of your so called “stores” to get it fixed (red ring of death) and when I brought it home I found this game weird and scary above. Has anyone else experienced this? I need help #screenshotsSaturday pic.twitter.com/QXukeruxo0

The wolf’s expression is the most immediate source of pleasure in this screenshot from Player Non Player (in Early Access on Itch.io), but this arm…!

A gripping scene in Heartrender, a “surreal immersive stealth action platformer simulation”:
Flowers are everywhere these days, especially where they don’t belong. #HEARTRENDERStealth uses a Thief-inspired system that relies on light and sound. If it’s a nonmagical light source, it can probably be destroyed.#unrealengine #indiedev #Game development #screenshotsSaturday pic.twitter.com/bfgRhMhsRO
