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

TEVI
A slightly less hard-core Rabi Ribi, with a tighter story and more elaborate combat system. And yes, I compare to Rabi Ribi because this isn’t just a spiritual sequel, it’s also by the same developers.

Turbo Fat
My hear-me-out game of the year. Very creative stacker game where you make boxes to feed cakes to cute hungry creatures.

Nine Sols
Another combat focus metroidvania, except the Taopunk vibes are absolutely impeccable. Big world, small creature yadda yadda, though it’s not like you’re a nobody here like you are in Hallownest or Aorasque. You are Yi, one of the leaders here, exiled for 500 years.

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
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]
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
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.

14 Minesweeper Variants 2
Funny minesweeper exccept oh christ it got worse. Now with a new even harder* mode (which was back-ported to the origina, so thats quite nice.)
-
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)
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
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.
