It's Demo Season, Dood
MechAnimals
Gear up for mayhem: From the animators behind Kung Fu Panda and The Mario Movie, MechAnimals is an upcoming Action Roguelite featuring cute tiny animal MECH PILOTS!
We are a team of experienced Artists from the feature animation world (Kung Fu Panda, Mario Movie, Minions) that broke lose to make indie games! Our debut title is an Action Roguelite featuring Cute Tiny Animal Mech Pilots. Think Hades meets Mario 3D world… but with MECHS! MechAnimals feels like it’s based on a big-budget Hollywood animated movie but with an edgy tone that would never get approved by the big studios.
Pirate Outlaws 2: Heritage
Pirates Outlaws 2 is a swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder. Collect & fuse cards, gather powerful relics and adapt your strategy during each run. Become a reputed pirate, loot the Sea Masters, challenge giant creatures and triumph in the great Arena!
I like pirates. Pirate games are an (almost) auto recommendation.
Hotel Galactic
Hotel Galactic combines cozy management with a heartfelt tale. Build and decorate your dream tourist getaway, aid Gustav in his search for redemption, and explore a nostalgic world where bonds with creatures and serene gardens sustain a thriving colony.
Featuring a lovely cel-shaded aesthetic and disgusting “customers”, you’ll need to keep the ball rolling to whip this hotel back into shape.

You sailed to the Lost Isle to stake your claim of wealth and glory, but after a violent storm, you were thrown overboard and washed ashore with nothing but a small knife and a single candle to light up the road. Carve out of existence in an unforgiving environment disguised as a paradise. You are not the only survivor; everyone is after the same thing: staying alive.
Lost Isle is a game of ingenuity and sheer will to survive. Each experience is what you make of it. Every day is a new chance to rise to the top, and every death is an opportunity for sweet revenge. Inspired by other incredible survival games that we all know and love, Lost Isle takes the open-world survival craft genre and adds a medieval fantasy twist that is sure to feel like a fresh and unique experience.
