Puzzle platforms, office aquariums and other new independent games that deserve to be checked

Welcome to the latest edition of our independent game. We have a lot on the bridge this week, starting with a few nuggets.

In case you have missed it, the steam summer sale is upon us, which means there are good deals in Gogo on the window (we have gathered Some of the tasty offers). If you are like me, you will end up buying a pile of games that you will never end up playing, but hope to go a day. In any case, good luck with your hunting!

I read an interesting story on This week on A cooperative climbing game of Aggro Crab (Another treasure of a crabwhat I absolutely liked) and landing (Content warning). A team of seven developers did most of the game during a retirement for a month earlier this year. The two studios relied largely on their community directors – who had done a fantastic job to give interest in their previous games – to exhaust Culminate.

A combination of factors such as smart marketing (this title is a peak), the ability of the game to provide funny moments that could become viral and a low price have helped Culminate To sell more than 2 million copies in 9 days. This is a cool success for a game that cost $ 200,000 to win. Hoping that more small studios will find ways to collaborate like that. In comparison, FBC: Firebreak Hit 1 million players after eight days, and this game is on the PlayStation and Xbox subscription services.

In the meantime, Microsoft has rubber A free game made by fans in the vein of Vampire survivors. Spartan survivors, de Juanggz, it is And he arrives in Steam and Xbox later this year.

New versions

After making his debut on PC last year and made his way to iOS in February, I am your beast ATERDED on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S this week. Of the remarkably prolific strange scaffold (,, And El Paso, elsewhere), this elegant and stealthy shooter in the first person has been widely acclaimed and now console players can check what noise is. In addition, the studio this week updated the iOS version of I am your beast With the whole DLC of the game.

Ruffy and the river is a 3D puzzle platform with a charming art and hand -fired from Zockrates Laboratories and PHIPHEN publishers. The perspective goes to 2D in certain sections, in the same way Super Mario Odyssey.

What could help this game stand out is that it has a functionality called swap, which allows you to copy the texture of one element and paste it on another. You could therefore transform a waterfall into foliage so that you can climb it or convert the ice into lava. Ruffy and the river is now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and Nintendo Switch.

Quantum witch is an adventure platform in which the intrigue is shaped by your decisions. Even the secondary quests have several ends, so it seems that a lot is happening here. Solo developer Nikkijay has As a “story of queer emancipation” in which the main character Ren takes up the agency during his life.

I am interested in consulting this one, especially because the art of the pretty pixel and the humor DROLL remind me of the Monkey Island games that I loved so much when I was a child. Quantum witch is released now .

Second It looks like it is cut off from a fabric similar to that of Playdead Limbo And Inside. However, this puzzle platform based on rhythm (by Gatera Studio and Publishers Selecta Play and Astrolabe Games) is defined on the rhythms of hip-hop, drilling, R&B and electronic music.

Here, you play as a mail in a city that emerges below the ruins of Barcelona after a global disaster. Music and freedom (among other things) are prohibited here, but a rebellion increases against the dictatorship dominated by the technology that is in charge. Second is released now Xbox Series X / S and PS5.

The inactivity games that are on your screen all day have a real time. For example, Bongo is near the top of the most played steam graphics with numbers of simultaneous players in the hundreds of thousands. Lunheim studios and Future Friends games, publisher, is one of the last games of the genre.

This is presented as a comfortable game in which you can hatch and sell fish, decorate your aquarium and (of course) go fishing. You can also visit the aquariums of your friends (and those of other players). Everything seems pretty cute and charming, and I don’t think having it in the corner of my screen distracts me too much while I develop .
