Arcane Worlds is a great looking, world exploration game, influenced by the Bullfrog classic, Magic Carpet. You play as a sorcerer, flying around and exploring mysterious worlds with loads of hidden secrets and stunning scenery. You’ll battle flying serpents, wizards and other creatures, discover new spells and open portals to other worlds.

Your spells also have the power to alter the worlds significantly, terrain can be destroyed or built up at will, allowing you to truly make your mark on the world. You’ll also be able to build your base, and our personal favourite feature, you can spawn magical floating bears that gather Mana for you!

Arcane Worlds is still in alpha, but it’s already great fun flying around and exploring the worlds. It’s already been Greenlit on Steam and the dev also plans to add multiplayer, so you can explore with a friend , or just blow them out the sky!

Dev guy is a funny, and interesting game that puts you in the role of an Indie dev called Warren, who’s trying to get his game on the app store before his game licence expires. Unfortunatley someone steals his car, which he’d left his game code in. To get the car back, you’ll have to solve puzzles, hack computers and play some very tongue-in-cheek minigames.

Dev guy is a great little game, with lots of fun in-jokes about the indie game scene and a main character with a lot of personality. Dev Guy won’t teach you how to make Indie gamea, but it WILL make you smile.

The gameplay is frantic, fast paced and fun, with 44 different enemy types, 13 Boss fights, visually stunning weaponry, explosions and backdrops. As well as the single player campaign (with online scoreboards), you can also play 8 player co-op or 16 player deathmatches, for a great fix of multiplayer carnage.

What makes this game truly special though, are the customisation options. You can build and paint your own ship to make it unique, then kit it out with a your own custom built weapons. There are hundreds of different weapons you can make by combining various components, including radioactive chainguns, tesla blasters, rocket propelled chainsaws and teleporting attack bears.

XenoRaptor is fantastic fun, it’s a well crafted top down space shooter, with an infusion of Dead Rising style, crazy weapon building. Highly Recommended.

Interplanetary is a turn-based strategy artillery game set in space, where players wage wars by developing their home planets and firing their interplanetary barrages through the planetary system.

You’ll build your planets infrastructure, gather resources, research technologies, spy on enemies and build weapons as in other strategy games.

The big difference comes in the turn-based combat mechanics. All the weapons in game are artillery (railguns, missile & beam), which are aimed and fired from your home planets and can be affected by gravitational pulls of planets and suns. It’s a great mechanic, that is underused in modern video games, and can allow for some deeply strategic and satisfying gameplay.

Below Kyrll is an online player-built platform game currently on Steam Greenlight.

The game plays well as a platformer, solid platforming and fighting mechanics, races, XP, upgrades and puzzles making the game a joy to play.

The biggest draw however, are the online aspects of the game, with players being able to create stories and areas of their own, then uploading them for others to play and rate. You’re then able to explore these worlds with other players that you can chat or scribble with. Creations are then be ranked by other players, granting the builders fame, trophies and epic items.

It’s a great gaming experience, that combines aspects of Little Big Planet and Terraria, to make a truly fun global crowdforged platform game.

It’s still early in development, but it’s looking great already. The devs plan to add more zones, more boss fights and Laser Ducks!

Samphi is a story driven RPG set in a randomly generated, destructible sandbox universe currently on Steam Greenlight. The game does have a few similarities to other sandbox games, such as Terraria, but it also has a heavy focus on storyline and RPG features such as skill sets, pets and mastering your environment. You can play it as a pure sandbox game if you like, through free-play mode, but the story is definitely worth checking out.

The story is about a relationship between boy and girl, with you re-living memories along the timeline of their relationship you learn their story. It’s a refreshing change for a sandbox game to have a real, meaningful story, and it really adds to the gameplay.
