Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Shrimp and a Swiss Army plasma rifle
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s #screenshotsaturday Day. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by a shrimp breeding game, some lovely places to explore, some bleak places to explore, and a plasma rifle with a surprising number of functions.
A perfect existence in slice-of-life game The Garden Path (coming to Steam):

A veritable Swiss Army plasma gun in Selaco (coming to Steamwith a demo available now), an FPS with traces of immersive sims being made, impressively, in the Doom-based GZDoom engine:
🚨New weapon alert! 🚨
Meet the Plasma Rifle! By far our most complex weapon yet.
– Turn enemies into gibs.
– Overcharge environmental hazards to change or amplify their effects.
– Pick up any object in the game world and turn it into a weapon.🧵#gzdoom #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/cGwCDVxGtx

I don’t know what precursor is, but I fully believe one of the main reasons to have a fancy modern gaming PC is rendering unnecessarily cool clouds:
Well, except performance cost being insane, it has some potential… #Precursor #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/e8Ure7HKl0

I do want to be the boss in VA Proxy (coming to Steam), a metroidvania which namechecks Nier as an action inspiration:

Certainly a look from The Hungry Fly (coming to Steam), a game about “a fly on a mission to eat a mysterious rotten creature living in a bath”:

Bleak big empty spaces and wall running? Whatever this is, I’m in:

An excessive but interesting experiment in ways to stop your character getting hidden by scenery in Automation Station (coming to Steam):
Experimenting with ways to prevent trees from obstructing the character. This is kinda cool, but a bit much.#screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev pic.twitter.com/biuTG9Ygkc

Hot stunts in the yet-untitled plane game from Fat Alien Games, who mention A Short Hike and Castle In The Sky as inspirations:
Loop the loops! 🛩️

And because Nate would want me to, here’s Shrimp Keeper:
We all have it.
That deep-seated desire to breed the perfect shrimp. Satisfy your urges with #ShrimpKeepera management game where you experiment with different shrimp types to breed the rarest, most desired shrimp.
A work in progress!#gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/NGjy2tTAkj
