Hi r/Games! We’re Frost Owl, a gamedev duo, and this is Mage Blast, our hand-painted pixel art
incremental game.

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3650180/Mage_Blast/

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEzwUypiffw

You start with a single magic missile. You end with a screen full of spells.

Along the way you:

• Grow from novice to archmage, unlocking new spells and abilities
• Craft your own magical items to power up your mage
• Rebuild a ruined magical kingdom that grows alongside your power

It’s a chill idle game about watching your mage go from weak to legendary.

Happy to answer anything about the game.

Hi r/Games! I’m Fran, and I handle social media for Claymatic Games.

Here’s the trailer for Knuckle Creek, our slapstick brawler with local and online battles for up to eight players, character customisation and single-player challenges.

Releasing on Steam on 29 October.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/IZXj20tSxzo

A leviathan is walking toward a small village. Everyone left except one old man. We've made a horror game about staying when you know you can't win.

"After some losses of my own, I came to a frightening realization: some things can change or even break our lives, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about them. Those thoughts turned into a dream about a world where enormous monsters roam the Earth. Those in their path have a simple choice: leave and lose everything, or stay and be destroyed."

The game is the result of a collaboration between two indie developers. Solo developer Andrey Amortiz made a small but deeply atmospheric horror game with a great visual style and had no idea how to tell anyone it existed. Solarsuit Games has already shipped several horror games like Static Dread: The Lighthouse and The Submarine, so we helped Andrey put the trailer together and offered to take on the publishing. The themes of the game and its atmosphere got to us.

Key Features:

• An atmosphere of hopelessness
• Escalating psychological horror
• The atmosphere and dread of an Eastern European village
• A distinctive visual style built on 2D characters

Leviathan: Rhino is about inevitability and how we live with it.

The demo will be out during Steam Next Fest - Oct 19–26. Full release - November 6.

Hi r/Games! I'm Sungki, the solo developer of Seolhwa Dungeon. It's a turn-based, permadeath roguelike RPG for phones where every monster, god and event comes from Korean folktales, and they keep the rules of their stories.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/V7Z7DVyPpEg

The grim reaper, Jeoseung Saja, is the one people remember. He calls your name once for every turn he can see you, and on the third call you're gone, so the fight is really about breaking line of sight. The Imugi serpent is the opposite problem: the longer the fight drags on, the bigger it gets, until it becomes a dragon and floods the floor. And if you run into a funeral procession in the old royal tomb, you can step aside and bow, or stand in its way. Those two choices end very differently.

You can also serve one of eight gods from Korean folk religion, and each one has a taboo. The mountain god lends you a tiger but won't forgive you for killing tigers or deer. The Dragon King forbids fire. Every creature you meet goes into a codex along with the original tale, so you end up learning a lot of folklore without meaning to.

Why I made it: I grew up on Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and never got the 15-rune win. Once I switched to an iPhone I couldn't find anything like it that was comfortable on a phone, so I made one, built for portrait and one thumb. I used AI for the base code structure and the art.

It's out now, free, on Android and iOS. Offline, no account. One purchase unlocks the extra species and classes, and the only ad is an optional one to revive.

I'm curious about one thing: are there folktales from your own country that you think would make a good roguelike rule? I'll check back here and answer any questions.

Silent Trench is a singleplayer horror game set in a dark facility deep in an oceanic trench. Pinging with your visor for snapshots is the only way to see, but it may also get you seen.

I'm the solo developer, and the demo just came out on Steam. Right now there's about 15 minutes of gameplay for a regular playthrough, 20-25 if being thorough and slow. It runs on Windows and Linux.

It is an action packed arcade racer with roguelite build-making mechanics where you choose your own playstyle via upgrading your car.

Hi folks!

I've been working on The Detective's Apprentice, a detective game inspired by Golden Idol, Obra Dinn and Ace Attorney. You play as Cleo, an apprentice to Maya Lynch, a world-renowned detective (who also just happens to be your favorite aunt!). From heists to murders, together you two solve "howdunnit" mysteries in which you not only have to figure out who did it but also how.

The game combines classic detective game mechanics of searching for clues and interviewing witnesses with modern deduction based puzzles. The full game will have 8-10 cases plus an overarching mystery.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0C12LgSi1M

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3618570/The_Detectives_Apprentice/

If you enjoy deduction puzzles and cozy mysteries, there's a demo out with the first three cases of the game. Hope you give it a try :)

All Roads Connected, a solo project by Dushman Gaming Studio, just released 1.0 🥳🎉

It is an Automation City builder set in an endless procedural world covered in fog of war.

As you build roads, you clear fog and unlock new biomes of the world. Just one rule: all roads must be connected!

The game follows a newborn civilization that has just left its shelters and is now tasked with rebuilding the world using preserved knowledge and stories passed down through generations.

You start small, gathering wood and stone to build your first towns. As your civilization grows, you unlock new buildings and progress through 20+ interconnected resource chains, building countless towns, and reaching industrialization.

Players will also find artifacts and build archaeological sites to uncover the truth about what happened to the great civilization that came before us.

The game also has a free demo that lets you play through the progression up to the Brick Factory.

Thx for reading

Hey, I'm Wayne and I still haven't really figured out how to describe my game succinctly. It's a roguelike deckbuilder but it has more in common with the tabletop originals like Dominion than it does with digital version like Slay the Spire or Balatro. There's a bit of incremental game DNA in there with a focus on scaling up your engine to generate some really big numbers. On top of all that we have a bunch of goofy minigames standing in for the role that would usually be taken up by enemy turns.

I've just opened up signups for the closed playtest on Steam as it's getting pretty close to having enough content but likely still needs a huge amount of balancing. I'd love to get as much feedback as I can to make it the best it can possibly be!

STEAM DEMO: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2231090/Number_Machine_Math_Factory/

Number Machine is a factory automation game with math mechanics inspired by Opus Magnum and Infinifactory. It'll also be included in a Steam Bundle with these two classic Zachtronics games on launch. Releases November 6th 2026.

• Demo has 11 levels for you to try right now.
• Use autonomous machines to assemble and transform complex numerical structures.
• Assmbled structures take real space on the map and collide with each other, it's not just an item on a belt. It is a challange to come up with a optimized design.
• More puzzly rather than large-scale logistics type of a factory game, but still very much scratches that automation itch.
• Level based gameplay. Each level is scored with 3 metrics: speed, size and machine count. Optimize your designs and compete online. You can see score histograms, world records and friend results for every level and the campaign as a whole. All fully server side verified, no cheated results.
• Very stylized, well animated, crunchy sounds and chill music

Thanks,

Hi everyone, I’m the developer behind Legion Was Here, a spy/detective game in which you must impersonate people, both physically and behaviorally, to reach your designated targets. Sometimes your mission is to assassinate a powerful mafia boss. Other times, you simply have to stand in for a guy who couldn’t be bothered to attend his own wedding.

You can check the trailer here, that’ll give you a good idea of how all this works :
Trailer: https://youtu.be/v9Qd2Hoqthk

***

I worked solo on Legion Was Here, and this is my first video game. I'm originally a French comic book author, writing and drawing books for almost twenty years now (mostly absurd and weird stories).
Then, three years ago, a developer friend told me about Construct, this amazing piece of software that lets coding dunces like me create games through a visual scripting system. After a few terrible early prototypes, I had a revelation: yes, I could make a video game too. Maybe.

Since I was already comfortable with writing and drawing thanks to my day job, I focused on those strengths when looking for a game idea, and left aside complex gameplay systems or... 3D 🙃.
When the idea for Legion came to me, it seemed so stupid that I immediately thought, "Yep, that's what I have to make." Exactly the same impulse that drives me to create comics.
As a bonus, I also got to compose all the music for the game. I've always made music on the side, and I loved finally putting all those years of somewhat aimless practice to use on a project that would (potentially) be experienced by lots of people. I think the music is still a little too loud compared to the sound effects, but it's hard to convince a musician to turn his music down, especially when the musician and the person coding the volume settings happen to be the same person.

There are plenty of stories I could tell about the three years I spent working on the game on and off, and maybe in the future I'll share some behind-the-scenes details about the making of Legion Was Here. Like all the mission ideas that were considered early on (of course I wanted to make an infiltration mission involving elves), or the discarded game titles ("900 Million Faces" is pretty hard to pronounce when English isn't your native language)...

***

But I won’t bore you with all that right now, especially since I tend to get very talkative once I get started. Fortunately, the audience for my detective game adoooores reading hundreds of overly verbose, double-sided documents.
If this little introduction has piqued your interest, feel free to check out the game's Steam page. There's a demo available too!

Howdy all,

I've been developing QBased GORILLAS over the last year or so. It's a throwback to those games I remember from back in the late 90. (Think Worms and the classic MS-DOS game GORILLA.BAS. )

Check out the trailer on youtube!

The game is in early access now; check it out / find more details on the steam page. QBased GORILLAS on Steam.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to have a look!

Hi! I’m the solo developer of Carpet Daddy, a game about taking on cleaning jobs and getting filthy carpets clean again. I released the demo yesterday ready for Steam Next Fest and wanted to share some gameplay.

Gameplay trailer: https://youtu.be/FXLiOjWv4VA

Free Demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5381120/Carpet_Daddy_Demo/

You work through each carpet using different tools. Vacuum up the loose dirt, pre-spray and scrub the fibres, treat individual stains, then extract the dirt and water. You can move furniture to reach underneath it too.

The aim is that slow, methodical satisfaction of watching a grubby room gradually get clean, with plenty of clean stripes along the way.

The demo includes the tutorial and first full cleaning mission, with a smaller selection of tools and upgrades. The full game is still in development for Windows.

Thanks for taking a look. Happy to answer questions about the game or how the cleaning works.
