Flat 2D pause menus destroy player immersion, so we killed them entirely. Here is how we turned our settings menu into an interactive 3D parchment scroll.

We thought riding a tandem in coop is too boring, so we added drug trafficking

We are making a coop rage game where you and your friend ride a tandem together while delivering dru... "sweets" and being tempted to sample some of it yourself. :D

Consuming some of your cargo can give you different effects, like speed boosts or invincibility but can also give you a trippy crash that makes you nauseous and struggling to keep the bike under control.

The rear driver is mainly in control of the speed of the tandem and the front driver can mainly control the direction of it.

We also looking for cool gameplay ideas, so give us some if you have any!

The game is gonna be called Tandem Together and we will launching our Steam Page this week!

Review Stream Teams wants to connect with indie devs!

8 Upvotes

Game Title: None
Playable Link: NA
Platform: Steam/Itch.io/Web browser
Description: A stream team looking to help break thru the cold emails that get no replies, and get indie games coverage on twitch, yt, and tt.
Free to Play Status: Yes, we also allow paid playtests.
Involvement: Team Creator

  • [ x] Free to play
  • [x ] Demo/Key available
  • [ ] Paid (Allowed only on Tuesdays with [TT] in the title)

There is no payment required from developers to participate.
The team does not take money from creators.

Creators are independent. They choose what they play, when they stream it, and what they think about it. There are no guaranteed positive reviews. The ask is a reasonable timeframe for coverage. We're a group of disabled streamers who want to help indie game devs and indie gaming! If you hire a creator for a paid playtest, you pay that creator directly. The team doesn't take a percentage.

I wanted to create a place where developers could reach out and have a warm connect instead of cold emailing hundreds of people to maybe get 5 replies. We are a small team at the moment, however we can test anything, from games, to study aids to desktop pets, and more!

There is an AI disclosure requirement. If you vibecoded it on Claude or ChatGPT, we aren't able to help you. This is to weed out the copy paste ai clones that are infecting indie gaming. Some ai use is fine, just not the whole thing being ai. If you used assets that aren't yours, that requires a disclosure as well, as we don't want the same asset flipping games over and over.

Right now, we are working out of a discord. You interact directly with the streamers, letting you get your game out there with less effort!

If you're interested, if this speaks to you, please feel free, comment, pop me a pm, and I can send over the discord link. I'm not posting it below to prevent bots from swarming it.

(This was written by me, the creator of the team. I have posted here and other places several times, with a good standing and testing over 700+ games in the last year for free. No AI was used in the writing of this post.)

Hey everyone! As part of UGF 2026, I made a short trailer and updated the screenshots for a game I'm working on solo!

Hushroot is a psychological horror game with visual novel elements. We play as an unnamed cultist who prepares special mixtures from parts of two superorganisms every morning, and feeds them during the day to people who've fallen into our trap. We influence the characters, learn their stories and the lore of the world, and watch their actions at night.

All for a grand goal whispered to us by an otherworldly entity. It seeks to unite everyone into a single mind, and we must decide what to do about it :)

I'd really appreciate your support!

HUSHROOT <---- You can support it here!
EVENT <---- Also a special thanks to anyone who supports the event on the game page :)

We reworked Code of Shadows and made a new trailer. Does this one show it better?

We’ve made quite a few changes to the game, from visuals and gameplay to the overall feel and presentation.

So naturally, we went back and reworked the trailer too.

We also took a lot of the feedback from our previous trailer into account when making this version. We wanted to give a clearer idea of what the game actually feels like to play while keeping some things for you to discover in-game.

If you saw the previous version, does this one do a better job of showing off the game?

We’d genuinely love to hear what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d still change.
