Last time I was this early, falcon was known as egg
Dev of Islantiles here. Thank you so much for featuring us ♥! We are excited to share that we will release on Monday (May 4th). So please check it out.
Acts of Blood developer here! Thanks for the shout out Falcon 🤟. Feedback noted. We'll do our best to deliver the game for the full release, hopefully you guys will enjoyed it. 🤝
There is some very questionable audio editing in this video 😅
This is a solid ass list and I love that yall show up for the smaller projects! I’m especially excited for Witchbrook, Blight survival, and Dead as Disco
Thanks for this list, smaller games like this always bypass my radar unfortunately. I am going to wishlist a few of these!
7:11 I honestly thought falcon had a glitch lol. I loved hi fi rush and honestly games with a music focus are just fun lol
I really hope the Goldeneye throwback will come to consoles!!!

Hi falcon, it's folks
Wow, thank you so much for putting our game on #1, truly an honor! EA launches on May 7th! Sea of Stars definitely inspired us on the graphical side, so we're glad AD is talked about in the same breath!
Bro you mentioned Alabaster Dawn! I'm so so glad. Don't forget to bring up Crosscode; it was a truly special game that showed how strong radical fish is. Alabaster Dawn will show that wasn't a fluke. That studio is going big places and it couldn't happen to a better set of people. Imo they're the next supergiant games.
Far Far West released into early access today and deserves a shoutout! Super fun game.
German nativ here. I had to listen to the PVKK take three times and you weren't even close 😂
:36 You left out that players can add their own music into the game, so if you're not into the songs, you can customize your own playlist.
A new indie game that ive just played through is called replaced. Its a great 2.5d platforn puzzler game with a great combat system which is similar to arkham games and oozes style and atmosphere. Its suprised me how good this indie title is. Great stuff!! 9/10
Love that Agent 64: Spies Never Die made the list. It's been on my wishlist for years and I've been patiently waiting since first playing the demo back in 2022. The scope of the project has certainly ballooned in that time, going from a single player game to one with mod support, to that with split-screen pvp/co-op, and finally to all that plus online pvp/co-op. It finally appears to be in the final polishing phase but it seems to be quite a small team or maybe even one guy so it's hard to say how much longer the wait will be. However, it's clear that the developer is passionate about the project so I can wait as long as it takes.
Papers, Please is more than 'just checking passports' and it's absolutely not boring.
I CAN'T KEEP GETTING THIS LUCKY FOR MY LUNCH
