TOEM: A Photo Adventure | Android

This indie game combines creativity, curiosity, and photography. It's not your typical action or strategy title: you simply slow down and enjoy observing a beautifully hand-drawn black and white world. Everything revolves around taking photos, solving simple puzzles, and helping TOEM interact with the various characters you meet along the way. He transforms ordinary moments into meaningful experiences. We'll travel through enchanting regions—from silent forests to snow-capped mountains, and more—while using our camera to capture small wonders and help the eccentric villagers. Every photo we take enriches the journey, turning the camera into both a narrative tool and a means of progression. It stands out for its unique, black-and-white sketchbook style. Each environment is hand-drawn, full of small details that invite exploration. The minimalist approach enhances the calm atmosphere, and the diorama-like camera angle adds depth to each scene. There are no combats or time pressures here, just peaceful exploration and creativity.  It's perfect for gamers who prefer thoughtful, relaxing experiences over frenetic challenges.

4 years accomplishment, please help us with feedback!

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!

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.

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:

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.

VOIDIGO - JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S NOT AS FUN ANYMORE

Maybe it could just be a bit of a burnout streak. In that case it would only be my fault. But I would also blame the developers for not really thinking about the long term players, who have been playing since very early access when adding in new currencies.

PSYCHOPOMP GOLD — IT ISN'T A SEQUEL SADLY

If you love it, support it. I didn't like it very much cause I was expecting something that wasn't just a slightly remastered version of the original. I'll still support the dev, I still like what the original had to offer and the rest of the content that was added in is sure to appeal to the die hard fans, but this wasn't for me and I don't think it would be for most people, who want more than the free version offers.

Ape Escape 2 | Android_EMuPS2 ( Asus Rogphone6pro )

The protagonist of the game this time is the little Hikaru who, after having inadvertently "shot" the super-intelligence helmets out of the laboratory, finds himself having to deal with an army of primates ready to conquer the world. At the head of the revolt we find the white monkey Specter, this time intent on stealing the Lethargy Laser from the Professor, essential for easily putting humans to sleep and thus having control over the entire world.

Until Then - A Bundle Of Spectacular Sparks Filled With Emotions & Adventure.

'Until Then' is truly a one-of-a-kind game. The intro, art style, narration, story, characters, music, dialogues, mini-games, and everything else were really impressive. After finishing the game, I felt like rain had washed over me. At first, I was caught off guard (especially because of the final scene) and soon felt the coldness of the rain. But then I was happy and content with how everything seemed to make sense. When it was finally over, it left me feeling a bit empty as well.

New Music, Cards, and UI in Hungry Horrors – A Roguelite Deckbuilder on Steam

We’ve made some exciting updates to Hungry Horrors, our roguelite deckbuilder that blends cooking with British and Irish mythology. You’ll find new card designs, a more streamlined UI, and we’ve added a new caves music track, composed by Henry Taylor, that adds to the atmosphere. For those who are new to the game, Hungry Horrors is a PC roguelite deckbuilder where, instead of fighting monsters, you cook and serve them traditional dishes. Set in a world full of creatures from British and Irish folklore, you’ll prepare meals such as Cranachan and Stargazy Pie to appease characters like the eerie Jenny Greenteeth and the formidable Dullahan. But not all encounters are so grim—helpful folk such as Bluecap and Wulver will assist you on your journey.

with force advertisement ... (PLAY!!!! or pass????)

Total size when I play this game is 412 MB, tower defense with a unique mechanism, because the number of attacks launched depends on the chance of a die. In battle players can summon a maximum of 3 heroes. Initially, players get 2 Heroes gradually, then the next stage is collecting shards from the game. As far as I know there are 2 types of dungeons, the normal mode is called curse dungeon, after completing the normal version of the dungeon. And dungeon survival with minus effect and normal effect when leveling in battle.

A Charming Creature Collector Adventure – Creatures of Ava

Creatures of Ava is a family-friendly experience and therefore, comfortable. Who hasn’t spent hours searching for adorable creatures in vibrant, joyful worlds, with the aim of collecting them? In Creatures of Ava, the premise is similar, although the main objective is a bit different. This is an experience that overflows with affection, carrying a touching story that shows players the importance of bonds between individuals, understanding different ideologies, and finally, the cycle of life and its self-regeneration.

YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON THESE HIDDEN GEMS!

If you love bullet-hell, great storytelling, and, of course, above all else, games that are free and very fun to play, than Wolfrush is a game you need to check out now! If you enjoy story-rich games with a diverse cast of vibrantly colored characters, Mondealy on the other hand is one of my all-time favorites. It was a casual game with no fighting, just a lot of walking and running around hugging cute boys, meeting people, and assisting them with their problems, as well as all the references, memes, and characters to other games and TV shows. There is so much to love about this, that isn't being appreciated.

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:
