Retro YouTube Simulator is a rather pointless (but still pretty awesome) game that allows you to experience YouTube as it would of been back in 1986 – with (almost) instant VHS home delivery of real YouTube videos that you order through a DOS interface!

It takes the simple act of watching cat videos on YouTube and makes it an inferior and unnecessarily drawn out process. But that’s the whole point – it’s a wonderfully nostalgic experience that will somehow make you yearn for the days of fuzzy VHS video rental.

Titan Souls is one of the indie games in development that were unveiled during Sonys E3 conference, now known to be coming to PS4, Vita, PC and Mac.  It’s a very tough, pixel art action adventure game that tasks you with taking down a variety of large Shadow Of the Colossus-style titans, armed only with a single arrow.

Needless to say it’s a very tough game, you’ll need to learn the titans attack patterns and use perfect timing to make your arrow hit the mark.  The pixel art graphical style is excellent, with the game playing like a super hard, one-hit-kill 2D Shadow of the Colossus Combat is a pretty tense affair, leaving you extremely vulnerable during the time it takes firing and retrieving your arrow.

The new gameplay footage revealed at E3 looks excellent, promising lots more Titans and building on the original Prototype that was created for Ludlum Dare #28, with the combat retaining it’s simple yet extremely tough nature (with a major change being that you can fire in more than 4 directions).  The Prototype is well worth checking out, it can be completed in under 20 minutes, but due to the amount of times you’ll die it’s likely to take much longer!

Yojimbrawl is a local multiplayer sword fighting game from the developers of the Brotastic pixelated action/platformer - Broforce.

You play the game with the normal directional keys (W,A,S,D) and a single button attack, with different button combinations allowing a variety of attacks.  Matches are won by either killing your opponent or throwing them out of the arena.

It’s a fun 1 on 1 fighting game, with a great art style, animations and effects.  Perfect for short blasts of pixelated carnage.  The prototype was created in just 72 hours for Ludlum Dare 29 game jam, we’d love to see what they can do with a little more time.
