I go on Twitter to find indie games so you don't have to

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by games touching on chat around GTA 6 and Furiosa, along with spaceships, fungal horror, and the developer's dog. Come admire all these attractive and interesting indie games!
While the impending GTA 6 trailer has everyone jazzed about palm trees and neon, you can tide yourself over until tomorrow with a jot from this procedurally-generated infinite city:
I'm working on some cool stuff, I promise, but in the mean time, enjoy these palm trees. #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/XftN8rI0Yi

Another render of the Battleship, been a while since we've done one, the full version is in 4k.
Not giving up until we figure how to turn this into a playable ship#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/hQDgTTiQHi
Don't threaten me with a good time, Perennial Order (coming to Steam):
"Deny the spores entry to your body, slowly they will consume you from the inside. Your veins will be replaced with roots, your blood will dry."#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #soulslike #gamedev pic.twitter.com/0MmMqiiU6C
— Perennial Order (@PerennialOrder) December 2, 2023I remain delighted with this mystery game and its clickable shoes:

Savagene - Kyle's W.I.P. Final Fury
We are Savagene fighters! And you? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev pic.twitter.com/43BgHYY9r0
A neat camera experiment in Shot One: Universal League (coming to Steam):
Probably won't use this cam, but anyone a fan of Anarchy Reigns/God Hand? 😄 Some combat prototyping we're working on for #screenshotsaturday. Check it.#animation #gamedev #indiegames pic.twitter.com/o1QJJRfrm5
— Shot One: Universal League! 🐟 (@ShotOne_) December 2, 2023Wet violence in roguelikelike platformer Ants Took My Eyeball (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Whirlpools and grenades make for an effective combo#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart pic.twitter.com/auRq4Inoa5
— Ants Took My Eyeball (Demo available!) (@antstookmyeye) December 2, 2023And yes HeistGeist (coming to Steam, with a demo there now), I fully encourage making pets part of your work:
I really wanted to put a cyberpunk version of my dog Lujza in the game because we wouldn't even finish making our first game without her.
In HeistGeist, she serves as a moral support dog for the player too.⁰Have you put your pets into your game? #indiegames #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/2e1f7wTK9U
