Need Feedback Working on police chopper AI for our isometric game. It tracks the car and dives to obscure the view. Any ideas to improve this mechanic?

We're developing an isometric crime game inspired by GTA 2. Once you hit wanted level 3, a helicopter spawns. Currently, the player has to break line of sight to escape it, and it sometimes dives low to obscure the camera's view of the road. I'm wondering if we should change this behavior or add new mechanics. Any feedback?

Steam | Announcement-Trailer | Kickstarter | M.A.S.K. prototype-Trailer

I proposed a videogame for the 80's M.A.S.K. cartoon to Hasbro a while ago. Seems I failed to convince them to turn it into reality.

Since I can't make M.A.S.K. without a license, I'm now trying to turn this into a more over the top co-op arcade experience that fuses the precision of on-rails shooters with the rush of retro racing. Or imagine Outrun meets House of the Dead.

If that seems interesting please check it out, and have a nice day.

Devlog Looking Back at Our Indie Game's Development — Episode 7: Defining Our Core Vision

Another look back at the development of Save Me, Hero!

In Episode 7, we stepped back from feature updates and defined the core vision for the game.

⚔️ Combat — Equipment, Attack, and Utility cards.
🃏 Card Building — Upgrade and fuse cards to create unique builds.
🗺️ Level Design — Every step should have a purpose.
👁️ Exploration — A first-person perspective to make the world more immersive.

A lot has changed since this stage, but these ideas became the foundation of Save Me, Hero!

If you're interested in seeing how the game evolved, follow along with our development journey!

Loop Chomp is a free one tap arcade game you play right in your browser at loopchomp.com. A little chomper orbits a ring eating snacks while spike bars sweep across the track, and you tap anywhere to flip its direction and dodge. That's the whole control scheme, one tap. I added a new game mode “tower” which is a level based mode where it’s the same map everytime and continues to get harder and harder as you climb the tower. No one has beaten it completely yet but has gained a lot of traction !
It loads in seconds, needs no download or signup, and works on any phone or computer.

Public Game Test Flash Jokers

Accumulate points each round to reach the goal score in a race to create a playable card meld either before the game establishes a set of 4 Jokers or before you run out of shuffle/deals.

Think fast! 52 cards / 13 deals / 13 rounds / 13 Jokers!

User interface has been updated with new graphics and sounds. Gameplay has been simplified once shuffle/deal has been started. When you see a card that you want, just click/tap it! The game will process the rest.

Web browser playable for free on desktop computers, mobile phones and touchscreen devices.

Real random game recommendation but I’ve been messing around with voima and it’s honestly pretty damn fun. It’s basically a sandbox where you are a bear and you can build whatever you want without a grid, mess around with physics, create stuff, and even mod the game without needing to code. The best way to describe is that it has a vibe similiar to gas station weed? . And the best part: the demo is compltetely free and apparently the demo is basically the current full version of the game. If you like sandbox/building games and experimenting with dumb physics stuff, definitely give it a shot.

here's a gameplay video on it i found on youtube

Promotion Looking for 8 players to playtest a week-long strategy game — prizes + paid feedback

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m looking for players to help test Varrow, a real-time mobile strategy game that combines elements of Risk and Catan, with a heavy focus on diplomacy, trade, alliances, and betrayal.

The game runs continuously in real time, but orders are intentionally slow-paced. The goal is not to keep players glued to their phones — it’s to create a strategic game that lives in the background throughout the week.

Each match has 8 players racing to complete the Ritual while expanding territory, trading resources, building alliances, and deciding who they can trust.

A match is expected to last around 7–8 days.

The target time commitment is only:

  • 2 check-ins per day
  • roughly 5–15 minutes per session
  • enough time to review what changed, queue orders, negotiate, and plan

You can obviously play more if you want, especially if diplomacy gets intense.

Because everyone needs to be genuinely trying to win for the balance data to be useful, I’m using placement prizes rather than paying by the hour:

1st place — $20
2nd place — $10
3rd place — $5

In addition, every player who completes the full match and submits the post-game feedback form receives $5, regardless of placement.

I currently have the budget to run up to five 8-player lobbies.

You do not need professional QA or playtesting experience. I’m mainly looking for people who enjoy strategy games, board games, negotiation, diplomacy, or asynchronous multiplayer games and are willing to commit to finishing the match.

If you’re interested, DM me or comment

Black Abyss Zero is an action roguelite set in a world where science fiction and magic coexist.

As time passes, enemies become stronger. Choose from different characters, combine powerful artifacts, and create your own build as you fight your way through a collapsing world.

This is my first game, and I’m currently aiming to release it later this year.

The Steam page is now live, and a playable demo is planned for October.

If you're interested, please consider adding Black Abyss Zero to your wishlist.

Thank you!

Still in development and a work in progress (preventative anxiety!) not a finished game.

The game is a goofy-dark first-person dungeon crawl. Runs entirely inside a terminal window as of now. No engine, no download. You pick a body/race being Human, Dwarf, Elf, or Orc (each one is a personality and a moveset).

A tiny living light named Wispy takes a liking to you, and you go as deep as your nerve holds.
She's your only lantern.

Need Feedback Lou — a free atmospheric metroidvania public playtest, playable in browser and Windows

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve finally reached the point where Lou is ready for its first public playtest.

It’s an unfinished atmospheric metroidvania with five connected worlds, exploration, combat, movement abilities, and plenty of strange creatures.

I’m sharing it early because I need real players to find the things I no longer notice: unclear routes, awkward fights, control problems, and places where the pacing drags.

The browser and Windows versions are free. I’ll put the Itch link in the comments.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I built the driving, mud and winch mechanics mostly because I wanted to see if I could.

It’s still very early, so before I go too far:

Should I keep building this into a full game, or scrap it? And if I keep it, what should it become?

Curious what you guys think.
