I checked out the playtest for #EverythingIsCrab, a charming little #indiegame where your focus is to hunt and scavenge for food in order to evolve and grow stronger. Nice gameplay, plenty of variety and very cute sprite work - definitely one to watch leading up to its release!

I played the new demo for #Factory95 - a creative automation #indiegame with an authentic retro Windows theme. Automate and create a series of presentation slides to meet the clients' demands, and each cash to unlock more tools and pages. Very nostalgic, very fun. One to watch!
