Games that were developed and then published by a single person or studio. Indie in the most literal sense of the term “independent.”

  • Tetrachroma

    Tetrachroma

    If you’re ever feeling bored of standard Tetris and want a game that adds interesting ideas while feeling like a complete polished product and not a haphazardly thrown together unity project, definitely give this Tetris-Meets-Reversi game a go.

  • Satisfactory

    Satisfactory

    This game has been consuming and is on track to utterly ruin my entire life. Absolutely recommend if you like making satisfying factories.

  • UNBEATABLE [white label]

    UNBEATABLE [white label]

    A demo of the yet-to-be-released UNBEATABLE, a story game where every stage is a rhythm game level. If you’ve heard of Muse Dash, this game is that but with better animations.

  • The Planet Crafter

    The Planet Crafter

    A game about terraforming a planet. “Wait isn’t that a lot of games?” Yes, but this one does it in a first person survival format, not an overhead strategy or management format. Oh and unlike most first person survival games, there isn’t anything that’s explicitly trying to kill you.

  • Moonlight Pulse

    Moonlight Pulse

    Furry character switching metroidvania about fighting a virus invasion inside the body of a giant celestial world turtle? Sounds like a fun time.

  • Covemount (Collection)

    Covemount (Collection)

    A collection of cute little tiny sokoban games by Hempuli, the troll mastermind behind Baba Is You. Every game in the collection is free with a good number of very difficult levels, including some troll logic puzzles, but there are also some themes and mechanics that are consistent within the engine.

  • EX-XDRiVER

    EX-XDRiVER

    Another free steam rhythm game? Oh you really do spoil us. XDRiVER is a rhythm game with all the styling of a futuristic racing game, the vibes indicate motorcycle racing, but the specifics don’t really matter too much because it’s ultimately a regular VSRG with some interesting scoring mechanics.

  • Ato

    Ato

    Ninja cat metroidvania where you just want to find your kidnapped child and wife. With a whole story told without a single word in a large connected world of stunningly beautiful pixel art, this is definitely up there on the list of very good metroidvanias.

    NERTS! Online

    All Aces, No Spaces! So you know klondike solitaire, the one that came bundled with your Windows XP computer? The guys at Zachtronics made it a competitive multiplayer game and it’s incredible.

  • Bombe

    Bombe

    Minesweeper automation game. Mix up a couple good genres and you end up with a good game, a game where with a bit of setup, you can clear 4000 levels in less than a minute. Im frankly surprised rn that I only have 3 different minesweeper reviews, and not more. Bombe is a game where…
