Got Knytt Underground through a Reddit trade. What a fantastic game. Beautiful art style and awesome platforming. Would it be considered a Metroidvania? If so, it's my first one

I would suggest your first be Super Metroid.
It's only one of the greatest games ever made.

Totally forgot about The Real Texas. Meant to pick that one up when it was on that one bundle site and never did.
Buncha good stuff on this list, got some voting to do later today for sure.

Thanks for this. I make it a point to check out Greenlight at least once a week, but still haven't even seen half of these games.
Damn... Thanks. I'm getting to it right now.

please do yourself a favor and play the secret best jrpg ever
http://playism-games.com/games/demonkingchronicle/
simple yet interesting fragmented fable-like story
simple yet rewarding gameplay: don't grind if you don't want to, explore, get the loot, and choose the best time to engage enemies (or a group of them),maybe using the traps against them if they are too strong (and believe me, they are)
dark souls-like shortcuts!
secret walls!
FAKE secret walls!
so good.
oh and it's free to play (just click on download the game, with 1 dollar you just buy a zip with extras), but i donated 5 dollars after playing it.

Pretty good list, but it would be a lot more useful with a meatier description of each title and especially a note about what stage each one is at. I'm much more invested in helping games that are done get access to the Steam marketplace than I am making sure upcoming games are pre-Greenlit at this point.

I'll try to do a list with the description of each games but I'm pretty busy this entire weekend so I may post it around Monday.

Drop Escape Goat 2 (that's already supposed to be coming), add Gunman Clive or Love+ or something.

There's a couple other games that were already Greenlit or released via some other mechanism as well, I believe.

Having quite a fun night playing GUN GODZ. The soundtrack is so perfectly ballin, and I love the "ding" of the elevator at the beginning of each level. Its good hyperactive fun.

I want to love the game, but I can't get past the fact that the screen is antialised. It should be crisp blocky pixels. I'm not talking about the textures, the actual screen is blurred. I'd been watching that game since forever and was disappointed when it came out and they didn't turn that off.

Hmm, I think since I'm playing it on a big tv sitting real close it still looks suitably blocky to me.
The Real Abed
Perma-Junior
To me, this:
Is very distracting. The blurriness makes it seem washed out to me and unplayable. I need crisp clean pixels in low-resolution games. And there's no options whatsoever. I'd love to contact Vlambeer and ask them to put an option in. Also the mouse is not sensitive enough. There's no options at all to tweak this either. Shame. I wanted to play this forever. It's unplayable for me. Especially with the low sensitivity on my turning.

I don't know... I think it looks fine to me. Maybe its a different build? The enemies look chunky as fuck. Ha, for me the mouse is way too sensitive. I only have to move my mouse like an inch and I do a 180.

I really enjoyed this game. Lots of Castlevania (NES) vibes.
Also, I thought Treasure Adventure World was announced for Steam already.
Delver's Drop has already been Greenlit. The game is still in Alpha though and judging by the latest build I played, it still has a ways to go.

Looks good to me! Which reminds me, I owe you a report on the build from friday-ish. On top of feedback from the changes, I had a crash I wanted to try and replicate involving the beast but I couldn't get it to proc again.

Is that...a weapon? Were weapons always planned or is that a mechanic you added recently?
Once again, the atmosphere is awesome. I like that it doesn't rush at you. It just approaches you slow and steady out of the darkness. I think that's creepier than a jump scare, charging out of the dark moment
No Screenshots from Hof? Might have to fill in for him again
I've added it in recently, together with some changes to combat in general. It's not a last-minute thing though, I was planning this kind of change for a while now.

Gun Godz is easily one of my favorite shooters in recent years and probably my favorite Vlambeer game.

Cool freebie - Pause Ahead
Pausing the game preserves your momentum and makes you invulnerable. You have to use that ability to make it through traps and obstacles

Heh, was going to say that the saws in the picture are eerily similar to the saws in Tower of Heaven. But that's probably because askiisoft is the developer of both.
In fact, Pause Ahead still holds a lot of what made Tower of Heaven, even to the point of calling back and remaking a level. But PA is still a treat on it's own regard, very cool gimmick.
If you haven't played it yet, Tower of Heaven is a quick platformer where you climb said tower but you must follow the ever changing rules placed by the god or die.

Assault Android Cactus is absolutely fantastic. I don't know what magic they did to get so many enemies and bullets and explosions to happen at once, on my lower specs on High settings with no lag...
Such a fun, fast, frenetic game. Each character plays different and requires different strategies to succeed. The mix of bullet hell and dual stick enemy hordes plus the power up system that makes you reduces when you get hit and the intensity of the battery system adds more depth than one might expect.

It's funny. First time I tried the Rogue Legacy demo, I didn't like it all. Decided to try it again today and now I love it. So whenever the next Sale comes, Rogue Legacy or Spelunky?
I think I might like RL more because it's a mix of bullet hell style evasion, RPG elements, roguelike elements, and hardcore platforming but Spelunky sounds just as good. I've only played the original freeware Spelunky so I don't know much improved the new one compares

I'm more a Rogue Legacy kinda guy, but they are both great games. The semi-persistent structure of that game resonated with me more though.

I love both games, but I would say Rogue Legacy is easier to recommend. The persistent upgrading and boss progression will easily keep one engaged throughout the adventure. Completion (and subsequent New Game+ completions) are the end goal of Rogue Legacy, whereas Spelunky is more a treat for people who love score/time chasing and messing with its intricate mechanics.
In GTA, PES and EU4 land.

Ha, I'd be in GTA land too, if I wasn't on campus. Did Hof even do his usual weekend screenshots?
Sorry for that. I'm buying new apartment, so I've got a lot of things on my mind right now. If anyone feels like doing late #SS, feel free to do so: http://screenshotsaturday.com/index.html.
Ooh good luck with that. Where are you moving to? Same City? Something small and cozy?

The same neighbourhood, actually it's 200m from my old place. It's little bigger and has beautiful view on the forest. Can't wait to move in, hopefully everything will work fine.
Much appreciated. Without the SS, I wouldnt be able to fill the future section of the threads.
