Screenshot Saturday Mondays: shotgunjumping and animal encounters
Admiring interesting and attractive indie games
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by a walking witch hut, using a shotgun to rocket-jump, some Dark Messiah-style kicking baddies into spikes, and unusual animal encounters. Come see!
Sure, shotgun-jumping in parkour shooter Sprawl (coming to Steam) jibes with my understanding of Newton's third law:
Hope you're ready to shotgun jump... very soon.

Getting weird feelings of ancientness seeing a spooOoky game not about a haunted floppy disk or possessed NES cartidge but a cursed Xbox 360 game post-red ring of death:
Is this some kind of twisted joke @GameStop ? I took my Xbox 360 to one of ur so called "stores" to get it fixed (red ring of death) and when I brought it home I found this weird creepy game on it. Has anyone else experienced this? I need help #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/QXukeruxo0

The wolf's expression is the most immediate source of delight in this screenshot from Player Non Player (in early access on Itch.io), but that arm...!

A striking scene in Heartrender, a "stealth-action-platformer surrealist immersive sim":
Flowers are everywhere these days, especially where they don't belong. #HEARTRENDER's stealth employs a Thief-inspired system that's reliant on light and sound. If it's a non-magical light source, it can probably be destroyed.#unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/bfgRhMhsRO
