Light Fighter is a Unity Asset flip from asset flippers, beans rolls. They’ve copy+pasted a Unity store asset and have put it on Steam to try to scam people into paying them for someone else’s work. This time it’s a basic minimalist 2D top down wave survival “brawler” demo, presumably to teach people how to make mobile apps or something. Resolution is locked, gameplay is laughably simple, less complex than Space Invaders, and yet here they are trying to get people’s money for this. This was dumped into DailyIndieGame bundles immediately at launch.

Nurose
Nurose is online dueling game where you fight others with custom spells. It has a custom spell building system that allows players create unique attacks. The game has a high focus on gameplay customizability and has a high skill ceiling.
Custom Spells
Central to Nurose is the unique spell building system. Spells are built by visually programming glyphs in a staff. There are 30+ glyphs ranging from simple movement glyphs to complex conditional glyphs. You don’t need to level up to earn new glyphs or staffs. Each glyph is available from the start so everyone is on a even playing field.
The possibilities of this are endless. Some spells that you could make include:
-
Mines that explodes when the enemy is near.
-
A shield made up of projectiles in a semi circle.
-
Anti-missile attack that will look for enemy projectiles and destroy them.
-
Spell that makes decoy clones and moves them in specific directions.
What sets the great players apart are their skill in spell building and mastering their builds. When you have made a build, enter online matchmaking and fight others with your spells.
Online matchmaking
In online matchmaking you will fight others in a 1v1 best of 5 game. Each player has several staffs available. The game is made in a custom engine with rollback netcode for optimal online experience.

3D Chess
3D Chess!
Yeah.. it’s.. 3D chess.
I mean.. everyone knows how to play chess, I haven’t been playing it for two decades probably on a regular basis but I’ve learned it as a child and kept playing it here and there.. I think our ’90s PCs were flooded by 2D chess games..
This one.. is a 3D chess game. That costs 10€/$ - you read it well.
Essentially, it hosts all the negative and positive sides of every game made with the Unity engine - everything’s customizable, everything’s simplified.
Plus, the configuration screen is quite nice offering us volume options, v-sync, languages and most of all four different difficulty modes ranging from easy to hard (experienced is the 3rd option here).

Overall – very good but still a great deal of work is necessary (really a lot). The application freezes pretty often so that’s a problem numero uno. Not sure if it’s the video card I have but fairly certain I am not the only one and it’s a great turn off. Next on the list is fixing some of the arenas as far as lighting conditions (it’s difficult to tell which piece is which when all you see are shadows). After that you should enable user to observe the board from an almost arbitrary angle. It can be a challenge as you would have to render the sky etc but even without it, a greater freedom of rotation is necessary, at least so that a player can get to see the board from the top vantage point in 3d mode (you have 2d mode but then the pieces lose 3d rendering which defeats the purpose). For your 2d, make sure to diversify the set of pieces you make available (the ones you have in 2d, which is really only one, are fine but there should be more with emphasis on 3d-ishness and appropriate light/shadow rendering). Increase the set of difficulty modes available (not good enough to just have 3 modes). Preferably to have the modes with ELO designations (i.e. I am playing a 2300 ELO computer opponent says a lot more than ‘hard’). Lastly (or in parallel with all of the above), let’s keep adding those excellent arenas which is really what this game is all about – let’s focus on boards and pieces with lots of reflection (marble-glass themes etc), lighting effects (fire is very good) – this would make this game unique in the marketplace.

Rolf
Rolf is an indie game that has fun cuphead/Mario vibes. It is full of fun fast paced levels that are challenging to beat. But even though the levels are challenging, you will quickly learn the fun mechanics of the game. If you have enjoyed playing cuphead or enjoy other platformers such as mario this is the game for you.
Trapmania
Trapmania is one of those ‘I can’t stop playing’ games for anyone who enjoys comedy, strategy, or action games. The music is pretty good, and makes each map seem even more unique. The graphics are great. Lot’s of comical animations and sound effects. Would recommend for anyone looking for 10-15 hours of intense and challenging strategy.
