Read MoreSolo developer Packet1337 Inc have released Trap Labs out on Steam. The game is inspired by the obstacle dodging player-created maps in Starcraft and Warcraft, and early 2000s cartoons like Dexter’s Lab, and Fairly OddParents.
“Trap Labs was inspired by bounds and mazes from StarCraft and Warcraft. They were obstacle dodging custom maps made by players. The concept and controls were extremely simple but ridiculously fun. The obstacles and patterns can vary from very casual to super hardcore….The art style was inspired by favorite cartoons growing up such as Dexter's Lab and Fairly OddParents which tailored well towards the silly cartoon storyline. My goal was to make Trap Labs a fun experience for people of all ages.”
Trap Labs will have you going through a room without being trapped and features 100 story campaign levels with online co-op. You can pick it up on Steam right here.

In case you missed it, ninja platformer N++ from Metanet Software is out now on Nintendo Switch.
N++ is a fast-paced, momentum-based platformer about darting around obstacles, narrowly evading enemies and collecting gold in a beautiful minimalist landscape.
N++ is all about using your momentum to complete levels and get high scores, but in this sci-fi world, there's a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots trying to prevent you from completing your goal.
Through the hand-crafted (NOT procedurally generated) levels, you'll experience platforming at its most intense. Using only your fluid movement, you need to 'solve' each level and get to the exit.
N++ is out NOW on the Nintendo Switch. YEAH!

Power Level Studios have released their strategy RPG Soul Reaper: Unreap Commander on Steam Early Access. The game is featuring about 1/5th of the planned content, with obviously lots more on the way. The studio posted on their Steam page why they went with the Early Access route.
It's mostly about content creation. You see, we're aiming to have 100+ monsters and 400+ loot, and drawing and animating all that takes time. Now, having 100+ monsters sounds arbitrary, doesn't it?
I assure you it isn't! We want every monster to be unique. And by that, I don't just mean visually and stats-wise, but I mean that it's useful in some situations, but may be less optimal in others. Plus, with 100+ monsters, there are many unique ways to work out synergies between other monsters and leads to more interesting team builds.
The full releasse is planned for Q4 of this year, and by going with early access you can shape the future of the game:
“Price will not change when we leave early access. But! By taking part of our development journey, you'll have your say on how you want the game to shape up. It's like being an assistant-designer. Just without getting paid. Mwahaha!”
Check out the game on Steam and follow the gang on Twitter.
Drum roll please.... #SoulReaper: #UnreapCommander is FINALLY OUT AND LIVE! Catch it while it's hot and steaming (sorry) on #Steam! And, feel free to let us know what you think about this little guy and his team of #unreaps! https://t.co/OaF6spq7vA#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame pic.twitter.com/rz6eWkmmhf
