INDIEVELOPMENT

Early Access Highlights

Discover these gems released between May 16, 2025 - Jun 15, 2025, already making waves in Early Access.

Sol Cesto

A Webbing Journey

Help out around the house as a tiny spider with a big imagination. Swing from counters, web up dishes, and turn mundane chores into full-blown adventures in a physics playground of everyday chaos.

9 Kings

Stack buffs, build decks, and break the game. Expand your kingdom, loot rival rulers, and create overpowered armies in a wild, card-driven strategy battler that dares you to go too far.

GLUM

Unleash your inner menace as a goblin in a magical boot. Kick, curse, and cause ragdoll carnage in a physics brawler with crude humour, creative violence, and a surprisingly stylish combat scorecard.

City Tales - Medieval Era

Shape a medieval kingdom where roads form organically and buildings breathe with life. With the help of loyal companions, you’ll guide a growing city through quiet moments and emerging challenges.

Tinkerlands

Terraria vibes with a tropical twist. Build a settlement, explore strange islands, and fend off monsters with wild weapons—solo or in 4-player online co-op. There’s fishing, farming, and plenty of boss fights.

Doodle Empires

Draw borders, name nations, and reshape the world card by card. Expand, split, unite or destroy. This sandbox strategy lets you author the rise and fall of empires—one doodle at a time.

Sol Cesto

Descend into a cursed grid where every tile is a gamble. Treasure or trap? Monster or miracle? Move carefully, build your odds, and bend fate in this roguelike of randomness and risk.

Seeds of Calamity

Farm by day, explore by night. Build your new life in a post-calamity world with turn-based dungeon battles, seasonal crops, and a magical spellbook companion that’s always got your back.

Delven

Build a base underground, automate your workers, and loot epic gear from monsters you fight in turn-based encounters. A hybrid of idle game, dungeon crawl, and grid-based strategy with endless progression.

Omelet You Cook

Serve chaotic omelets to increasingly picky customers in a roguelike where recipes, relics, and ingredients spiral out of control. Stay cool under pressure—or burn it all down with pineapple and pickles.

CROWDFUNDING

Kickstarter Picks

Here are projects personally backed this month—plus our profile to prove it.

Big Hops

DOWNHILL

What if your RPG protagonist didn’t want your help? In this 2D action RPG, your relationship with the main character shifts depending on how you use your control—and whether she trusts you to wield it.

Nightmare Busters Rebirth

A cancelled SNES run-n-gun returns in full chaotic glory. Fast, tough, and steeped in pixel-perfect nostalgia, this modern remake brings couch co-op leprechaun action back to life.

UrbX Warriors

A love letter to arcade-adventures, powered by ZX Spectrum nostalgia and modern design. Explore secret-laden levels, uncover hidden jokes, and punch your way through a pixel-dense city under siege.

Big Hops

A vibrant 3D platformer where you’re a frog with a tongue that does everything—grappling, grabbing, solving puzzles, and growing plants. Packed with colour, secrets, and movement that just feels right.

Happy gaming!
