This week: A stroll by means of the woods, panic platforming, knife-fights within the jungle and a disco inferno.
Grab your digicam and put in your jacket. We’re beginning this week’s screenshots by taking a number of of our personal, courtesy of lovely monochrome snap ’em up Toem.

Toem debuted its first trailer throughout this week’s Wholesome Direct. Putting apart the discourse over what that time period even means, Toem appears to be like quite beautiful – a images journey by means of minimal, monochrome, Scandinavian dioramas. As it occurs, I love me a good photography game.
The game’s clear, virtually interface-like panorama might result in some uniquely stark snaps. Toem builders Something We Made are presently eyeballing an early 2021 launch on Steam
So, playing cards on the desk, I’ve been taking part in a good bit of that Tetris 99 (the one the place it’s a battle royale) on my Switch recently, and I’m terrible. Just, terribly unhealthy on the factor. Thankfully, somebody’s turning the venerable block-dropper into one thing I’m way more aware of – a frantic, action-heavy platform shooter.

A Tetris-esque platformer is already a neat sufficient minigame as-is. But over the previous couple of weeks, developer Nol has been constructing on high of that foundations – including extra instruments, weapons, and distractions. It’s grown this very Downwell vibe, from the fast bursts of yer wee man’s laser to the little spin they do when leaping off blocks. While presently untitled, I’m excited to see what this nifty little factor finally ends up constructing in the direction of.
It’s no shocker why these arms are completely plastered in bandages. What else did you count on, tossing round a boomerang lined in knives?

This one simply appears to be like nicely enjoyable, y’all. There’s a beautiful, Pro Skater vibe to the momentum and combo-building knife-fights in BoomerangX, delivered with a crisp, barely Samurai Jack look to its daring, sketched out palette. Murdering ten thousand large spiders with throwing knives within the treetops appears a proper lark, as soon as I’ll be retaining look ahead to when it arrives on Steam later this 12 months.
Ending our rundown this week – you meet all types of unusual of us whereas out clubbing, however these lads are taking the mick.
I’ve been busy overhauling most graphics within the game to one thing a bit extra last.
– Reworked shaders
– Updated textures
– Decent color grading (lastly)

Launching on Steam this 12 months, Hell Punk Horror is a bloody first-person roguelite the place you beat the snot outta costume-shop goons. But taking a look at these screens, I reckon the realm monster is the participant, coming in and ruining these chill vibes. Look at these friends – they’re all having a good time, zombies and tellyheads and disembodied skulls all simply out for a very good evening with some good friends.
HPH has come a good distance since its previous appearance in Screenshot Saturday Sundays. Hopefully, the slipping’s nonetheless good.
