Truck chaos, climbing with dual-mouse controls and other new indie games worth checking out
Here's our roundup of new indie games you can try now, as well as ones to look forward to in the weeks to come.
This weekend's indie game roundup includes a variety of new releases and bundles to benefit struggling developers. The Itch bundle organized by Necrosoft Games features nearly 150 games, with all proceeds going towards a game industry hardship fund for US and Canadian developers.
Among the notable titles in the roundup is Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, a chaotic and humorous game where players control a delivery driver who accidentally hits a woman who is then transported to a medieval fantasy world. Players must help Carissa slay monsters and deliver packages to turn her back to her new job.
Turnip Mountain offers a dual-mouse control option for physics-based platforming fun. Players can control one adventurer's arm each, or use two mice to play solo. The game's hand cranks and hoist mechanics create unique puzzles and challenges.
A pay-what-you-want release on Itch is Dystopicon, a satirical life simulation game where players earn money by watching TV to satisfy various needs. With 14 possible endings, Dystopicon allows players to either stay within the system or rebel against their confined existence.
Lastly, the climbing game Turnip Mountain is also available for $8 on Steam with a 15 percent discount. JanduSoft, the developer, has not yet announced a Switch 2 version of the game, but it is compatible with the system.
