Credits to all their hardwork!
Germinator
Germinator is a rogue-like deckbuilding game similar to Slay the Spire and Balatro. The player plays as a heroic gardener fighting back against evil GMO plants that have been corrupted by Big Food companies. It is a strategy card-battler where your deck’s cards are plants that can be planted and left to grow. The player faces a constant dilemma: to remove a card from their deck to let it grow stronger or keep it in play for immediate use.
Klon
Klon is a turn-based, top-down isometric strategy shooter built around a time-loop mechanic where players take turns acting within the same repeating span of time, each new turn layering upon the last, creating an evolving battlefield of past and future actions.
Set in the magical world of Pokémon, where players are trapped in a time loop and have to use their Pokémon to outwit their opponents. The game reimagines the mind-bending temporal strategy of games like Lemnis Gate and Quantum League through the lens of Pokémon battles rather than gunplay.
Orison
Orison is an 2D scroller action game where the player progresses downwards into the abyss to find Amelia and discover the mystery of Lunaris. To defeat the Hollow enemies in the way, you have to draw different sequences of symbols to cast specific spells while simultaneously dodging attacks. Along the way, you can look for upgrades to strengthen your spells and make your journey easier. At the bottom of the abyss, the player will have to defeat the Hollow Core (boss) to win the game.
Perfect Cherry Blossom
Perfect Cherry Blossom is a fast-paced action game that focuses on precision, timing, and mastery. Players step into the role of Reimu, a shrine maiden traversing the frozen land of Gensokyo. Every fight is a duel where the player must read the enemy’s movements, dodge at the right moment, and strike when the time is right. Success depends on rhythm, reflex, and patience, turning every battle into a test of both focus and instinct.
Rubbish & Redemption
Rubbish & Redemption is a resource-management strategy game where players guide a witch around a map of Singapore to clear overflowing trash bins and dumpsters to meet performance targets, and unlock perks/upgrades. Players must carefully manage stamina and resources, collecting trash as efficiently as possible to maximise satisfaction and keep the town clean.
Shady Sweatshop
Shady Sweatshop is a parody chaotic business simulation game centered on fast decision-making, multitasking and managing constant disruption.
Set in the modern fast fashion industry, players take on the role of an overworked parent running a small illegal sweatshop producing sweatpants to cover daily bills. Each day becomes a frantic rush to keep the factory from collapsing under pressure. Failing to meet expenses results in losing both the home and the children.
SlipDrift
SlipDrift is a rhythm-infused bullet-hell set aboard a derelict space station. Inspired by titles such as Enter The Gungeon, Hades, Cult of the Lamb, and Everhood, the game introduces a fresh twist to the bullet-hell genre: enemy attacks, player actions, and the environment are tied to musical rhythm. Mastering the rhythm amplifies your power—dealing bonus damage, piercing through foes, and creating satisfying audiovisual feedback—yet staying perfectly on-beat is never mandatory.
Players can still survive through reflex and strategy alone, while rhythm-savvy players unlock a deeper, more rewarding flow.
Specimen Zero
Specimen Zero is a 2D puzzle-platformer game.
The player takes on the role of Echo, an extraterrestrial test subject who regains consciousness in the aftermath of a devastating laboratory explosion. With containment systems failing and the facility on the brink of collapse, this is Echo’s only chance to escape.
Until We Wake
Until We Wake is a 2D action platformer for PC, set in the distant future, long after a catastrophic biochemical war known as the Final War wiped out most of humanity and made Earth’s surface uninhabitable. In a final effort to preserve the species, a group of scientists initiated project SERAPH (Simulated Environment for Recovery and Preservation of Humanity), placing 100 survivors into cryostasis to await a safer age.
The video is split into 4 parts due to its length.
