Five weeks ago, I announced JOY OF PROGRAMMING here on r/games’ Indie Sunday and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception. Your interest and support really mean a lot!
Today, I’d like to share an exclusive with you: the first gameplay trailer! Hopefully this gives you a good picture what playing the game will feel like and the kind of experience I’m going for. Head over to the Steam page to check it out (it’s the second video there, though I recommend watching the first teaser if you haven’t already).

Hello once again r/Games!
For this Indie Sunday, I’d like to let you all know that we have a new Demo available now, which will stay up until the conclusion of the upcoming Steam Next Fest.
Steam Page - Download the Demo
If this is the first time you are hearing about us:
Spiritfall is a Roguelite inspired by Platform Fighters - a mix between games like Hades or Skul: The Hero Slayer with games like Smash Bros. or Brawlhalla.
For those of you who got the chance to play our previous Beta back in December, here is what’s different:
Thank you all for checking our game out, please let me know if you have any questions about the Demo or our upcoming Early Access in March.
Hello,
TLDR; MiLE HiGH TAXi is The Fifth Element meets Crazy Taxi where you fly your hover cab to deliver passengers, while dodging mile-high skyscrapers and pedestrians in a fast-paced race against time. Trailer - Wishlist on Steam
Nostalgia is calling!
I remember watching The Fifth Element and wanting to drive Korben Dallas’ hover-cab. Before that it was a flying Delorean time machine like Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2, or a Spinner like Deckard in Blade Runner. Whatever scifi movie it was, as a kid I truly believed there would be flying cars in the near future. Certainly by the year 2000!
Well that never happened, at least not the way films depicted it… until now. After 3 years of solo development, I am excited to finally share my vision with you. In MiLE HiGH TAXi, you’ll play as the driver of a flying taxi. Navigate through mile-high skyscrapers, and dodge chatty pedestrians and obstacles at up to 450kph (280mph) to delivere silly passengers in …
Hello /r/Games and Indie Sunday!
My name is Robert, and I am the solo developer behind “Horticular”. We recently launched the free demo which offers between 2 to 3 hours playtime, though we’ve had comments saying people have played for 5+. You can play the demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928540/Horticular/
You can watch the announcement trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-n52DPf8Mc
And you can see me and Dan from my publisher talk through and demo the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puyU8t6aFVg
So what’s Horticular all about?
“Horticular is a relaxing garden-builder that begins with mysterious gnomes summoning you. Their wish? For you to breathe new life into a long-lost garden, abandoned by its previous caretaker.
Enter a magical world where you build up and expand a lush garden at your own pace. In your journey, you attract adorable animals to inhabit every corner; uncover helpful upgrades; and assist …
Other games in a similar vein or with similar mechanics that I played and liked:
Fallout Shelter
Yakuza Hostess Club minigame
Ravenous Devils
Halcyon 6
XCOM 2
I actually really liked This War of Mine, but the setting is a bit of a bummer so I can’t play it too frequently. Same with Frostpunk.
I did play Rimworld and had a decent time with it, but I’d prefer a more laid back experience with more direct control over my characters.
Witchbrook also looks like something that could be interesting, but a release is still TBA, and I think that’s more of a social sim than a management one.
I’ve also been looking at Oxygen Not Included, but I’m wary because for whatever reason, Don’t Starve just didn’t click with me.
Games I have already played a reasonable amount:
Stardew Valley Subnautica Minecraft Rimworld Kenshi Frostpunk Civ
I’m desperately looking for something to scratch this kind of game itch. Doesn’t have to be chill, but I want something I can put a lot of hours in and ‘set things up’ (whether that be characters, buildings, etc).
I’m considering Factorio or Project Zomboid atm.
Either that or I resub to OSRS.
