With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don’t often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people’s suggestions, you spot one that you’re familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.

I’ve made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.

    Curse Crackers: For Who the Bell Toils is a GBC-styled platformer based around a throwable partner, fun movement tech, and a lite story around an acrobat in a mask.

    Yellow Taxi goes Vroom is a 3D Mario collectathon platformer…where you can’t jump. It manages an energetic atmosphere where many objects are bouncing in place, so even at its small filesize it has a lot of visual appeal to it.

    I realize I didn’t set a rule for if you’ve only heard of one game in someone’s list; I guess use your judgment. If you’d like, forgive one if another presented an interesting suggestion.
