Sharing some #DeadCells screenshots, a game I've kept coming back to for years. The combat is addictive, the pixel art is fluid, and the gameplay still surprises me with new routes, weapons, and secrets every time I jump back in. Such a solid release. @superjumpmagazine.com #IndieGames #Roguelite

My pick for this month's Now Playing at SuperJump is an all time classic: Dead Cells. Still playing this after many years, and still one of the best action roguelites ever made: fast, gorgeous, and endlessly replayable. @superjumpmagazine.com #IndieGames #Roguelite #DeadCells

I've been blasting and grappling my way through Flinthook lately and it rules. It's a fast action roguelite with a satisfying grappling hook mechanic. Swinging through ships, slowing down time, looting everything in sight. An underrated gem that deserves a look. From @tributegames.com. #indiegame

My hidden gem this month is Flinthook, a grappling, blasting space-pirate indie roguelite that more people should know about. Sharing the @superjumpmagazine.com article here for a deeper dive. #IndieGames #Roguelite #HiddenGems

This was a great read from @superjumpmagazine.com. Shows how Bananza pushes Donkey Kong forward instead of playing it safe. I love all the new ideas the game brings to the table, although it's a shame to hear the DLC is a little under-baked, albeit still fun. A solid reason to buy a Switch 2.

Currently playing through Wizordum, a brilliant throwback to the 90's FPS era, with fast spell-slinging combat, chunky sprites, and moody, labyrinthine dungeons. The surprisingly strong sound design lifts it beyond simple nostalgia. Hexcellent! #Wizordum @apogeeent.com

Playing #SteelAssault feels like booting up a long-lost #NeoGeo arcade machine. It’s fast, flashy, ruthless, and full of gorgeous pixel-art. Brutal at higher difficulties too, with an Arcade Mode that gives you just one life to beat the entire game. A tough yet lovingly crafted hidden gem. #Steam

Back with another Hidden Gem for SuperJump. This time it's Steel Assault on Steam. Pure 90s arcade craziness. You fight through a pixel-art, post-apocalyptic America armed with nothing but an electric whip and a zip-line. It’s short, it's tough, and it's pretty damn fun. #SteelAssault

Still addicted to #BombRushCyberfunk and deep in my playthrough. Futuristic Tokyo meets New York energy with graffiti battles, insane traversal flow, slick grinding and Hideki Naganuma on the soundtrack. Also a little obsessed with capturing screenshots in this game 📸 🎮

Stumbled on #StarRacer via Steam and got hooked on this retro sci-fi racer with big F-Zero/Star Fox vibes. Indie studio
@whatnotgames.bsky.social nail the 16-bit feel on this one. There's stacks of content here too, heaps of tracks, even a track editor. Not on Switch yet but would be a perfect fit.

Loved this beautifully crafted video-essay from @superjumpmagazine.com exploring Human Extinction, AI & Mass Effect 👀 🤖 The real terror isn’t Skynet with malice, it’s a mindless optimizer with no concept of “enough.” Indifference, not intent, is what makes superintelligence existentially dangerous.

Hunting for a @superjumpmagazine.com hidden gem this month and found my way back to this quirky #PS1 tactics RPG. Turn-based combat, smooth gameplay and a whimsical story. It's not the hardest tactical adventure, but it's addictive and fun. Definitely worth revisiting: #SaiyukiJourneyWest
