Hungry Horrors - A Roguelike Game Exploring British and Irish Mythology Through Cooking and Humour!

Hi everybody, I’m Jerzy, one half of Clumsy Bear Studio. We are a new studio working on our first indie game for Steam, Hungry Horrors. It’s a roguelike deck-builder with a unique twist—cooking replaces combat! 🍲 Unlike most games that draw on Greek or Norse mythology, we’ve dived into the rich and often overlooked legends of the British and Irish Isles. In Hungry Horrors, you play as a princess exploring a world filled with mythical creatures from Celtic, English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh folklore. But instead of battling these creatures, you must prepare traditional dishes like Stargazy Pie, Champ, and Cranachan to satisfy their monstrous appetites—or face dire consequences. 🧙‍♀️🧄 Key Features Discover what makes Hungry Horrors a standout title in the indie gaming world:

Crhunchyroll: Pepper Grinder | Android

It's a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital. It's a high-speed 2D action-platformer where the centerpiece of the experience is... a "Grinder" drill—and it's not just a weapon, but a true multi-purpose tool! The protagonist is Pepper, a young and determined treasure hunter who is shipwrecked on a mysterious island after losing all her loot. On the island, a band of bizarre enemies called Narlings steals what remains, including her precious mechanical drill called the "Grinder." Determined to get back what's hers, Pepper manages to recover the Grinder and begins her adventure through increasingly varied and dangerous environments. From sandy beaches to underground caves, industrial structures, and surreal landscapes, Pepper faces hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, each with unique mechanics. The narrative is simple but effective: there are no long dialogues, but rather a story told through fluid animations and dynamic cutscenes.  Pepper's journey is a constant race for revenge, in a colorful yet hostile world, where each level represents a new step towards the final showdown. The drill allows Pepper to dig into the ground and "swim" underground, launch himself into the air at high speed, attach himself to mechanisms and activate platforms, and create incredibly fluid movement combos. The control system is surprisingly responsive, especially on high-performance devices. The gameplay is based on rhythm and precision: the more you master the drill, the more spectacular the experience becomes. The enemies are varied and well-characterized. Some require timing, others strategy. The boss fights are one of the game's highlights: dynamic, intense, and often divided into multiple phases, the levels are full of secrets, alternative routes, and collectibles. In short, it encourages replayability thanks to timed challenges, hidden object collection, and routes optimized for speedrunning. Its detailed pixel art style and fluid animations make the title visually captivating. The music is energetic and perfectly complements the frenetic action.  It's not a casual game: it requires precision, reflexes, and a little practice, but it's incredibly rewarding.

A hidden gem for sure. Worth every penny.

I’m really into indie games these days. How did I miss out on this before? Nice story, very fun gameplay and also quite funny with good characters.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3990570/The_Melty_Way/ Hello everyone! We’re two friends who always dreamed of making our own game. Today we can finally say mission accomplished, we get to share a first look at it with you. The demo for The Melty Way is now live and if you enjoy tight platformers with personality, we think you’ll have a blast playing The Melty Way. Our game looks cute, but don't be fooled, it definitely knows how to challenge both your reflexes and your big beautiful brain. The whole game revolves around size management. Your slime melts and shrinks whenever you move, jump or dash, but be careful because your size literally represents your health. Melt too much and you go SPLOOOOSHH bye bye. To grow bigger, you need food scattered around the levels, but it is limited, so you're going to have to do a diet because you can’t just snack on everything. The more you eat, the bigger you get. Big slime has more health and can activate heavy switches, but moves like someone after a leg day. Medium keeps things perfectly balanced as all things should be. Small is fast, snappy and perfect for precise platforming, but one mistake and you'll become a decorative puddle. Each size changes how you deal with puzzles, traps and movement, so deciding when to melt or when to eat becomes a crucial part of the strategy. We have a lot of handcrafted levels scattered across different environments. Each area brings its own special mechanics, surprises and new dangerous traps. Some levels lean into puzzles. Some push your speed and timing. Some mix everything together just to keep things interesting. And a few levels are us thinking outside the box to give you more unpredictable and diversified experiences. There’s also a small story woven through the game. It’s nothing overly complex, but you’ll meet a few warm characters during this somewhat lonely journey, each adding a bit of charm, guidance or humor along the way. A few parts of the world and its mysteries are left open to interpretation too, so you can read into things however you want as you explore. The game also features our own original music. Some tracks are chill, some are more energetic, depending on the environment and what the level is asking from you. We tried to shape every piece so it reflects the emotion and vibe we feel in those moments. Enjoy the soundtrack and let it carry you through the world as you play. The demo gives you a small taste of all that. It’s not too hardcore, just enough to give you a good feel of what the game is going to offer later. Try it out, play around with the movement and see how well you manage your size with the limited resources each level gives you. The full game release is planned for March 2026. Most of the content is already finished and we’re polishing everything until then to make the whole experience as smooth, fun and satisfying as possible. If you enjoy the demo, wishlisting helps us more than you might think. And if you want to show the game to a friend, we won’t complain. Thanks for being awesome. Have fun!

WINDBLOWN REVIEW - IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!

I haven't had this much fun with an Online Multiplayer Roguelike; these days, games like this are generally only available in Local Co-op, making it difficult to make new friends or play with anybody other than close pals in real life or through your friends list. It's fantastic to see the Dead Cells creators working on something entertaining! Consider following on other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:
WINDBLOWN REVIEW - IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!

I have come across some lesser-known short indie games recently, and I really loved playing them.

The Legend of Tianding: This is a 2D side-scroller beat 'em up game with some RPG elements where you play as the historical figure Liao Tianding. This game unexpectedly turned out to be an indie masterpiece for me. With its engaging storytelling, charming protagonist, excellent portrayal of 1900's Taiwan, beautiful art style, unique and satisfying gameplay mechanics, interesting boss fights, great soundtracks, and multiple endings, the game excelled in many aspects. However, it had some unfair platforming sections and repetitive combat towards the end. Overall, the game's strengths outweighed its weaknesses, making it a remarkable experience that left me craving for more historically-inspired games of similar caliber.

Silent Reverie | Android

It is a narrative-driven mobile experience developed by an emerging indie studio, designed to deliver a deep and emotionally immersive journey on Android and iOS devices. Blending psychological themes, exploration, and environmental puzzles, the game focuses more on storytelling and atmosphere than fast-paced action, offering players a reflective and meaningful adventure. 1) STORYLINE: The story follows a nameless protagonist who awakens in a mysterious world suspended between dream and reality. There are no immediate explanations or guidance—only silence, fragmented memories, and symbolic imagery scattered across haunting environments. As the narrative unfolds, players piece together the protagonist’s past through cryptic dialogues, environmental storytelling, and hidden clues. Each location represents a different emotional state: fear, regret, sorrow, and ultimately hope. Gradually, it becomes clear that the world itself is a manifestation of unresolved trauma, a mental landscape shaped by guilt and loss. The deeper you progress, the more personal and emotional the story becomes. Broken relationships, painful decisions, and a life-altering event are revealed layer by layer. The ending remains open to interpretation, yet it delivers a powerful emotional resolution that invites reflection long after the credits roll.

THE APP ICON IS NOT ART - IT IS PSYCHOLOGY

Most indie devs try to make icons that “look cool.” I did the same for years, and it cost us thousands of downloads over time. The app icon has one purpose, and one purpose only: Trigger enough emotions so that the player clicks your listing. Here is a few things I learned about creating the perfect app icon: 1. Bright colors win Your App Icon competes with thousands of others, stronger colors will make your icon stick out. 2. Angry or Sad faces convert better than happy ones. This is something I actually learned from YouTube Thumbnail theory. In my old company we boosted visitors by 24% by JUST going from Happy -> Sad face. 3. Simplicity beats details The icon is so small so it is important that the icon isn't too cluttered. For Monkey King: Legend of Heroes, we first used a clean blue icon with our main character(see the image) Then we swapped it for a bright red icon with an angry Monkey King… Store listing visitors increased by 109% in one week. It is quite simple: your app icon is not a decoration. It is an emotional trigger that decides if someone will visit your store page or not.
