I go on Twitter 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, like many weeks, my head is full of Metal Gear Rising's RULES OF NATURE. But unlike most weeks, it feels relevant. This week I saw an indie game where you slow-mo slice weapons and armour off robots in a forest and oh, that's doubly rules of nature right there. Plenty of other attractive and interesting indie games are about too, come have a look!
Before we get to the Rules Of Nature, let's consider the other rules of nature. The lesson to take away from Mohrta is surely to leave livestock, crops and machinery alone:
The Gravestalker will slumber peacefully if left undisturbed, but who could resist that adorable face?#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/VIHIU9nk5G

RAW Doggo action straight from Holzberg trail! #ScreenShotSaturday #IndieGame #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/sRrfh6AMU4
— #DRIVE (@drivethegame) December 9, 2023"Bug or feature?" I must ask metroidvania Mainasutto: I'm Not Alone (coming to Steam). Hmm. With this kind of recklessness, I'll remind you to guard against all risk of fire:
— Mainasutto | Wishlist on Steam! 🦊 (@mainasutto) December 9, 2023In The Same Boat (coming to Steam) reminds us there's work in this play, and so we must enjoy the countryside and respect its life and work:
Finally started implementing the weather system, so here's a first sneak peak of what happens when you get caught in the storm 🌩️⛵️#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev pic.twitter.com/Be2kSzVjQT
— Vincent A. - In the Same Boat ⛵ (@ABeginnersDevB1) December 9, 2023I'm not sure this counts as help to keep all water clean:
I made a few small material tweaks today, such as adding specular dots to enemy slimes and optimizing colors and shadow contrast.#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #IndieGameDev #unity3d #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/9urQ3SgQ3S
— Lukas Schneider 🌳 (@zwitscherluki) December 9, 2023While I do understand that Robobeat (coming to Steam) is a rhythm shooter, I will still remind to make no unnecessary noise:
dynamically adds more slow-motion if you play cool #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/8N1zT76iuI
— simon (@FredholmSimon) December 9, 2023I do understand that a 'man overboard' scenario is quite dire but adventure game The M/S Cornelia II Incident (coming to Steam) still needs to protect wildlife, plants and trees and absolutely should not chop down that tree:
#ScreenshotSaturday! I made a ringtone selection feature. Some familiar melody might help trigger a memory perhaps..🎵 #solodev #indiegame #adventuregame pic.twitter.com/p7lk1g4KMY
— Matias Ekebom (@m_ekebom) December 9, 2023I'm still not sure what Ryan Corniel's 3D puppetry (controlled with Index controllers) is for, so I'll cautiously say to keep your dogs under close control, or dogmen, or whatevers:
Working with some giant puppet and a ton-o'-fur! #screenshotsaturday #UE5 #RealTime #puppets pic.twitter.com/dcw2iCnUCy
— Ryan Corniel (@DukeGunston) December 9, 2023I don't care if your mech can fly, Nightshift Galaxy, I still think you need to use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls:
Working on our 3rd playable mech's flight feel. What do you think?#screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #mecha pic.twitter.com/7y9NWIZsKw
— tiny galactic games 🌌 (@tinygalactic) December 9, 2023Always take your litter home, Sulfur (coming to Steam):
— SULFUR (@perfectrandom_) December 9, 2023I suspect metroidvania Being And Becoming (coming to Steam via Kickstarter) is showing us what happens to a society when you don't fasten all gates:
Please do not mind to what now slithers and swims through here. It is such a tragedy to see such a beautiful dream fall to ruin like this...#metroidvania #pixelart #animation #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #ドット絵 #像素艺术 #픽셀아트 pic.twitter.com/bGLx6nCDcN
— Being&Becoming (@being_becoming) December 9, 2023I'm not entirely sure what makes this a horror game and I'm not sure I want to find out, so let's consider it a reminder to keep to public paths across farmland:

— einarsnow (@EinarSnow) December 9, 2023Lastly, never forget the most important rule of nature: Yes! Yes! Split it wide open!
I am making a game by myself where I slash enemies into pieces and kick them away! Please support me! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unity pic.twitter.com/LL0S7XejWF
