Playing some strange twin stick shooters/roguelikes on itch today. The first one I tried is called 'Holding Out' (you can download for Windows or play in browser as I am from this Linux laptop) and it's a shooter where you're some kind of weird creature, fending off other weird creatures that have been turned to zombies-- but you're also stuck in a warehouse and waiting on hold for help and for more supplies. Hilarious and stressful.

This one's a blast. Rewinder is a game made for a jam where you're tied to a tether for a portal and you're shooting your way across a strange dimension to rescue your daughter. You can upgrade your gun and you're setting up nodes along the way-- it's cool as hell. You can download it for Windows or play it in browser, as I am. I should also mention I have an Xbox controller plugged in and I'm using that for these. Ones I mention here will have controller support- I dig that.

Here's another cool one - it's called Bullet Bunny. It's VERY tough to get too far (at least for me). It has an upgrade system as you play, with choices for buffs, Brotato style-- you're a bunny fighting off nasties. It says download, but the only download is for an old APK (Android). But luckily, it plays well in browser using an Xbox controller. Top right button shoots, but it's cool. Gonna try and get better at it- better strategies, choosing the right buffs, etc.
