You won’t believe this was made by one personįelix Schade is the developer and creator of Morbid Metal, which they describe as a sci-fi action roguelite where you shapeshift to rack up sick combos. This week we have a stunning sci-fi game with incredible attack animations, a beautiful open-world game where you help a panda find peace, a horror game inspired by ’80s monster movies, an elegant rhythm game, and an RPG inspired by anime in the ’90s. Each week, the Polygon staff scours the internet for the most interesting games still under construction, to give you a sampler of the coolest up-and-coming projects. We have newly uncovered gems and more in Cool WIP, Polygon’s weekly roundup of eye-catching clips, and screenshots of works in progress. But it also opened a world of under-the-radar work from developers who haven’t posted as regularly. In some cases, I was delighted to see WIPs covered in previous columns. This week, I was delighted to follow a steady stream of released and up-and-coming games for #PitchYaGame, an awards show and hashtag for indie developers where people show off their games.


Usually, for this column, I’ll spend time combing through various hashtags on Twitter to see what’s going on.
