A striking first-person swordfight with a grappling hook and big dashes:

A cute attack animation idea for an angry amanita in 2D platformer Color Story: Pixa’s Quest (coming to Steam):
Had fun with this attack animation for the mushroom enemy. Idea is he squishes down and launches his cap at you before coming back up and growing a new cap#indiegames#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/tOfKgc7fF5— r1kGAMES (@r1kgames)December 3, 2022

Speaking of cute attack animations, I dig these prone slideshoots from StarIliad, a metroidvania set inside a giant space whale:

Flawless Abbey(coming to Steam) is a curious one:
The Star Key plays it’s brittle melody — pay attention to its notes so you don’t break it! ✨#indiedev#gameart#gamedev#unreal#UnrealEngine#indiegame#screenshotsaturday#dev#art#indie#game#gamingpic.twitter.com/TUfhwJgARH— Bed Head Games / Flawless Abbey (@bed_head_games)December 3, 2022

Mech combat game Bakemono - Demon Brigade Tenmen Unit 01 (out on Steam Early Access) is one of the few games to make me wish my eyes worked with VR goggles. I think that list of inspirations is Amored Core: For Answer,Titanfall 2, andDevil May Cry.
#screenshotsaturdayFirst round#thpsscoring fin.This clip makes me so mf happy man.All this hard work and sacrifice is worth it ( today ) 🙏😊🤖Aside from adv melee and AI core my AC4A TF2 Mecha May Cry is complete!!!#gamedev#indiedev#solodev#gundam#Robotech#Macrosspic.twitter.com/v6ue5VorGQ— Supersane_Games - Bakemono : Early Access Now (@SupersaneG)December 3, 2022

I adore how much tying strings to thumbsticks totally changes the vibe of the motion:

You know I can’t resist nice water, like this in Mika And The Witch’s Mountain (coming to Steam):
An almost distractingly pretty background from a non-stealth moment in “fast-paced stealth game” Project Neo Chaos:

Might be just a shader rather than a game, but I absolutely cannot resist jellyfish:
Hey everybody! I made a Jellyfish shader#madewithunity:D I also made a tutorial trying to explain sine waves and how to achieve this kind of effects here:https://t.co/KYHlmxezlk#screenshotsaturday#gameart#gamedev#shaders#stylized#jellyfish#sine#unity3d@unitygamespic.twitter.com/nx9P8hihAW— Dervish (@_josueor)December 3, 2022

A striking game for the ZX Spectrum, which certainly counts as a personal computer:
Today I make public Bruxólico ZX Spectrum WIP 1ST stage Demo. You can download for free this demo and play for yourself the first stage. Still a work In progress, some details may change.https://t.co/mPLomAYjix#screenshotsaturday#zxspectrum#homebrew#IndieGameDev#gamespic.twitter.com/ffyDeD80o3— Amaweks (@amaweks)December 3, 2022
