Honestly a perfect version ofMetal Gear Solid’s frisking in Squirrel With A Gun (coming to Steam). If a squirrel climbed you, would you be in a position to stop it robbing you?

Squirrel can now climb humans! Use it to yoink some pocket goodies such as extra magazines. 🔫🐿#gaming#indiedev#gamedev#UE5#UnrealEngine5#indiegame#blender3d#blender#b3d#indiegamedev#screenshotsaturday#wishlistwednesdaypic.twitter.com/9Hz0dP35Wb— Squirrel with a Gun (Dan DeEntremont) (@QuiteDan)September 18, 2022

Oleomingus make some of the best-looking video games, so I long to explore these corridors myself one day. That said, I do see they havea small new game out right now, which I must check out after finishing this post.

I’ve been working on river and waterfall materials for the game! 🌊💦 Also setting up easy ways to make more (we love splines).I find it very soothing to just look at everything in motion😌#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#IndieGameDev#UnrealEnginepic.twitter.com/COAIuqjpMG— Saralie (@SaralieWagstrom)September 24, 2022

I am always sad when a 2D platformer hurts me for jumping on someone’s head, rather than them, so I’m glad to see even a shooty-shooty platformer likeSinus(coming to Steam) has bonking:

Honestly, you don’t even need to ask. Just leave me unattended in a room with these potions and I’ll take care of the problem (or the problem will take care of me?).

Just made some new potions for our game!Would you drink any of these?#indiedev#indiegames#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/2MxZzuVT5g— Minotaur Princess (@Bunnies4peace)September 24, 2022

I do like handcrafted games made with whatever materials are at hand, so good jobOut Of Hands:

I first came up with the idea for Out of Hands during an indie game jam, and the theme was “capture.” And I still can’t think of a better way to express “capture” other than hands… 🫴#indiegame#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/JvYynFNThp— Out of Hands (@PlayOutofHands)September 24, 2022

Especially afterMothered’s secret mini-sequela few weeks back, I am super up for more cyberhorror fromEchostasis(coming to Steam).

And let’s close on some great wisdom from, I think, Mushroom Musume (early version available freefrom Itch):

Sometimes it’s nice making a game because you can simply elect to put anything you want in it (skeleton wrestling) 🙂#ScreenshotSaturday#Renpy#VNDevpic.twitter.com/p7cRn68GQT— Autumn Greenley (@autumnotopiadev)September 24, 2022
