Bite-sized reviews of demos on Steam and itch.io, with a focus on indie and DIY games.

Resurrecting this account (been meaning to get back to it) to say that Sol Cesto is OUT NOW (and an absolute steal at under $10). Some of the most "just one more" gameplay I've engaged with in the past year and stunning art.

Go play the Cyclopean demo and follow @mkschmidt30.bsky.social, it's everything good in roguelikes. I'm a sucker for 1-bit, and the sense of environment is palpable. Character generation is deep but not inaccessible, and appropriately punishing.

@kaamosgame.bsky.social has some really fun stuff going on- once its sliding match-three system clicks for you the flow is great. Equipment opens up some really fun build options, making good matches really juicy. Lovely lo-res art.

Sol Cesto is one of those demos that feels fully realized right out the gate. It takes dungeon crawling influences and applies them to a puzzle structure that's intuitive, engaging, and creates a true sense of space (more thoughts below).

Godslayer Arena is a great distillation of the ARPG formula, taking the genre's character building core and injecting it with some juicy auto-battler polish. Even with one character in the demo, it's easy to see the potential depth here.
