Screenshot Saturday Sundays: Dashing through the snow with good boys, bad gunsPut on your boots
Put on your boots
Screenshot Saturday Sundays! Like some sort of digital bake-off, game developers across the land offer up their finest works-in-progress to be scrutinised on aTwitter hashtag. Once more I - the Mary Berry of screenshot judging - must hand-pick some of this weekend’s best offerings. This week: Scandinavian snowdrifts, exceptionally talented dogs, and grossly impractical firearms.
Put on your snowshoes, readers. We’re starting out with a romp throughRöki’s glacial woods.

Hard work, sure, but if it was a quiet day we’d be free to take some of the more excitable Huskies out on a 5km loop ourselves. Claudio Norori’s game might be a bit further north, but that sunset vista over a frozen wilderness threw me right back - even if I don’t expect he’s too concerned with emulating the tedious work of chipping frozen shit out of kennels. Arctico is currently in early access over onSteam, though it looks like Norori wants it to release in full very soon.
Sorry, uh. Where were we?

He might not be a good racing mutt, but this dog’s still a dang good boy. Immediately, Gameboy Advance-styled action platformerGoodboy Galaxyis killing it with the small details. Look at his wee tongue wagging! Look at that bounce and squash as he jumps!
Developers hot_pengu and exelotl are building from a prototype developed for Ludum Dare last December. It does a few interesting things with disempowering the player through various loops, and is certainly worth a poke over onItch.
Closing us out this week: that’s, uh, certainly one way to clear a room of uninvited guests.
Unrealistic guns seem to be a big thing now on twitter so here’s Fish Person Shooter’s 100-barrel shotgun#FPS#screenshotsaturday#sabadev#IndieGameDev#UE4#unrealpic.twitter.com/vFMiF14uIA— Arthur Zeferino ? (@TubaZef)February 22, 2020

Real talk, I put this here because it reminded me fantastically of those TF2 joke weapons kicking around YouTube - specifically, theForce-Hundred-Nature. Arthur Zeferino’s somehow gone one better in Fish Person Shooter. The way everyone in the room drops dead, I’ve gotta imagine the player’s wearing some kinda hundred-barrelled hula hoop ‘round their waist.
Bang, bang.
