Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, we’re even heavier on vibes and moods than usual, and with only one retro-styled FPS for once! The vibes are plentiful and they are powerful and I hope you enjoy this latest selection of interesting and attractive indie games.
Whoa:

I already enjoyed climbing a Brutalist tower in first-person platformer Beton Brutal (out now on Steam) and am very interested in exploring some sort of unreal water park too, presumably with an upcoming update or something?

Alright let’s take a violence break, starting with this interesting idea for a ringleader enemy in retro-styled FPS Calcium Contract (coming to Steam):
This guy makes other enemies synchronize their attacks by drumming and can slow you down, effectively making the rest of the world go faster from your perspective. #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/U5Kv8vh7Fc

I like this move in VR shooter Gunday, but part of me does think it’s not right if the player isn’t doing an actual one-handed cartwheel handstand in their living room:
New move added! You can now handstand during a cartwheel by grabbing the floor #VR #VirtualReality #UE5 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/7dCoxDlEDF
