And I won't overwhelm you with too many games, but something that REALLY fucks and is criminally overlooked? ChainStaff! Very awesome run'n'gun kinda game with astonishing visuals, the whole idea seems to be "What if Roger Dean album covers were playable levels?" and it's absurdly cool.

Chainstaff asks the question, what if 70s and 80s prog rock album covers were playable levels? The levels even start as Vinyl LPs that fold out! It's immeasurably cool, the Roger Dean worship is off the chart.

And the music is also unfathomably cool. Have I convinced you yet?

It looks like a playable Roger Dean 70s prog rock album cover. What else do I need to say?

Inspired by Casey's thread earlier, here's a few semi-random picks from my Steam wishlist that I'm excited for. Starting with...

1: Chainstaff - The latest psychedelic platform shooter from solo studio Mommy's Best Games. Looks and sounds like a prog-metal album cover come to life. Out this week.

I've been making games since '94 and I love doing new 2D action gameplay.

A recent release that flew under a lot of people's radar, Chainstaff is a run'n'gun action game where you play as a soldier with an alien parasite on his head. You need to see this game, because the background work is stellar, evoking 70s prog rock album covers, it's astonishing.

His next game is ChainStaff, a run-and-gun platform shooter about a guy with an alien bug parasite for a head, armed with an living spear that also functions as a grappling hook, defensive barrier or controllable platform.

The whole thing looks like a psychedelic prog metal album cover.
