What do you get when you combine frentic platforming with synthwave music (and graphics to match), a grappling hook and a purple penis monster?

Engine Software BV works on it, it's their first work

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_Software

Engine Software was founded in 1995, and with that is the oldest game developer in the Netherlands still in business. They have worked on developing games for the Super NES, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Pocket PC, PC, digiBlast, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo 3DS.

Looks like a competent developer.

What's this?

From the good people at 魂动天下!

Project Hospital, a hospital management sim in a rather serious tone than Theme Hospital:

Become an ace doctor, an aspiring architect and a successful manager at the same time. Design your very own hospital, tweak every detail or use one of the predefined models and just jump to the doctor’s duty.

Contract different insurance companies to gain access to patients with interesting medical conditions, perform examinations, laboratory tests and use various equipment to solve the diagnostic puzzles. Hospitalize your patients, perform surgery and more!

 

[LESS T_T]

This man is mega:

 

[vonAchdorf]

Is this a low budget cash grab or actually good? Is it better than Mighty No 9?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

So Mega Man got the ring from Braid, huh?

And I LOL'ed at Fuse Man. They're running out of ideas for the Robot Masters.

 

[Viata]

As a MM fanboy, I want this game right now.

Wayward Souls, pretty popular procedurally-generated action RPG on mobile, is coming to Steam:

Wayward Souls is a randomly generated action-RPG with a heavy focus on story. Play as seven different heroes, all with their own abilities and story lines. Fight through steadily greater hordes of enemies, as you try to escape the curse cast over this place.

Greatly inspired by 90's era story based action-RPG's, but with a faster pace and a focus on randomized replay value.

• 7 different characters to play as, each one with a different style of play.
  
• Equipment for each character that lets you change their moves and abilities.
  
• Over 100 different monster types.
  
• Many different areas with different room styles and monster groups.
  
• Over 300 hats (IMPORTANT)
  
• Many different rare rooms, encounters, and secrets.
  
• Unlockable game modes, including Endless Dungeon.
  
• Find a secret pie recipe that's pretty good.
  
• Heavy replay value due to randomly generated levels, multiple character types, and randomized enemy groups.

The developer also made Death Road to Canada.


Oh yeah, also Team Sanic Racin':

PASSAGE, a frantic medieval shooter thing, looks straight out of the 90's shareware bins:

 

[Siveon]

Wayward Souls is probably one of my favorite games on mobile. I hope it does well since this PC release has been taking forever.

Huh. Wayward Souls doesn't look that good for a desktop game, but Death Road was a lap dance from Jesus. I guess I'll stay tuned.
