Last one for tonight is @aerialknight.com's DropShot- arcadey (finger)gunfights while skydiving. It gets you right in the action, the music is great, and I had a good time replaying levels to get every target. Really loved the boss fight level too! This is a great time.

Title screen for Aerial_Knight's DropShot. Two characters are shown shooting at each other while skydiving. One character has a gun, one has their hand in the shape of a gun.

Screenshot from Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The main character is skydiving, and their pink arm and hand form a finger gun. They are dodging red lasers while diving after targets.

Screenshot from Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The character is skyciving, with their pink arm and hand forming a gun. They are falling toward some floating islands, and the text "Dragon Attack!" is shown in the air.

End of level score screen in Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The main character has white hair, sunglasses, a mustache and goatee, and is holding up a finger gun. Rank A, Score 1194, take downs 9 out of 11, bullets left 3 out of 18, time 0049.

Next up is The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of all time. Clearly taking inspiration from old RPGs, Tunic and meta documentary stuff....will be interesting to see how complex it gets and how all of these things tie together.

Menu screen for The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All time. Options are: Continue (99.53%), Options, Wishlist on Steam, Log Off, Shut Down. A castle is shown in a fiery background with demons flying around.

Screenshot from The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time. Three characters are shown walking along a tiled floor as castle walls go in different directions in the background.

Screenshot from The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time. One character wielding an axe stands in combat against three enemies, two flying and one that looks like a factory smokestack.

Screenshot from The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time. In the background, four characters walk through a castle corridor. In the foreground, a menu overlay shows a selectable video clip from a "making of" documentary about the game.
