Hello cohosters! Hope you're all doing well. This site continues to be my favorite place to find and discuss games (especially with devs themselves!) on the internet, so I'm happy to carve out a little home here for me and for you.

A note: Unfortunately this month I was out visiting family for a while, and didn't have time to interview any developers. Interviews will be back in May! I'm excited to get back to chatting with devs.

Without further ado, here's your Indie Game Recap of all of the new games I found in April...

NEW RELEASE SPOTLIGHT

• Deflector, the action roguelite about deflecting enemy bullets back at them.

• Dredge, the sinister fishing RPG.

• Blocky Dungeon, the Tetris-inspired dungeon roguelike.

• Lone Fungus, the platformer set in an open mushroom world.

• Wildfrost, the wintery roguelike deckbuilder with two lanes to position in.

• Terra Nil, the environmental strategy game about cultivating a thriving ecosystem.

• Beyond The Long Night, the side-scrolling, twin-stick action roguelike.

• Volcano Princess, the life-sim inspired by Princess Maker where you raise your daughter in a fantastical world.
