edgeforth64 also wanted to give Satryn DX a shoutout.
A nice little arcade throwback. play as a little spaceman saving his friends in a procgen bullethell twin stick shooter. the game is really colorful and neat, excellent as a pick up and play option if you got a spare 15 minutes.
edgeforth64 is also into puzzlers and recommends UFO: Unidentified Falling Objects , "a bullet-hell falling match 3 puzzler."
Play as an astronaut exploring different puzzle worlds. after reaching specific achievements your rewarded with new items changing up your mechanics, mix and match and find your favourite loadout for this tricky puzzler.

Release Date: 15th Apr 2024 (USA ) /
15th Apr 2024 (UK/EU ) Dream Tactics is "a cute and simple-looking tactical RPG/deckbuilder hybrid" that's up edgeforth64's street.
It may look simple but there is a lot of ways to go about developing your crew and synergizing their abilities. there's also a lot of great tunes along the way, it's bright and cozy, have a go at it it's a lot of fun!
edgeforth64 is back once more with props for Gun Rounds .
A deckbuilding turn-based RPG roguelite. the game is all about managing your bullets(mana points) each turn but you can also recharge those points by expertly blocking the enemy attacks but be aware there are quite a few different enemy attack patterns to be aware of.
TheLaysOriginal went for another Touhou title, Touhou Luna Nights , which they describe as a linear, sidescrolling Metroidvania "kinda like Metroid 2."
Beautifully animated pixel art with a SOTN style presentation, tight combat and controls, and the music is a banger. Easily my favorite indie troid, also it's touhou so that's a bonus if your into it.
Alpha008 came across Bargain Hunter and reckons it's a real bobby dazzler. If you like that sort of thing.
Basically it’s a playable version of the British TV show Bargain Hunt. It’s very simple, you go around buying things in second-hand shops and garage sales, and try to sell them at auction for profit. It’s really quite simple, and will probably only appeal to people who enjoyed Bargain Hunt (like myself). If Bargain Hunt was up your alley, give this game a look.
Nathan Munker suggested Cash Cow DX , a retro-styled platformer heavy on the chiptune.
It’s an excellent throwback to early 80’s arcade games that were developed by Nintendo and Namco.
cmbaum wrote in to highlight Skipmore's Transiruby .
Somehow the whole world seemed to overlook Transiruby, Skipmore’s excellent follow-up to the Fairune Collection and Kamiko. This is a meatier offering and is a straight Metroidvania in the art and mechanical style of Fairune. If you liked any of the aforementioned titles and/or are looking for a solid just-tough-enough Metroidvania, this is a must-play.
JBone wrote in to recommend Shiro Games' Evoland Legendary Edition which compiles Evoland and Evoland 2 , "two RPGs that ostensibly track the evolution of gaming."
The original is a fun, breezy game that feels more like a proof of concept, but the sequel is a longer, far more polished experience with a stronger narrative. While largely a top-down Zelda-esque adventure, it constantly changes genre at key points, playing at various points as a JRPG, a shmup, a beat 'em up, a tactical RPG, a rhythm game, and more. These sections might not stand up for a full game, but the variety keeps it fresh throughout.
