Minishoot’ Adventures
Developer: SoulGame Studio
Co‑publisher: IndieArk
Minishoot’ Adventures is an indie RPG that blends the top‑down exploration of classic Legend of Zelda titles with twin‑stick bullet‑hell shooting. You pilot a ship, seeking upgrades that unlock new areas. Despite the quirky apostrophe in its name, the game is a polished gem with a strong personality.
- Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
- Price: $16
- Subscription availability: Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, PC Game Pass
Öoo
Designer: Nama Takahashi (ElecHead)
Collaborators: Tiny Cactus Studio, Tsuyomi
Öoo is a minimalist puzzle‑platformer where you control a caterpillar equipped with one (later two) bombs. The bombs serve both as explosives and as tools to hold down buttons or propel the caterpillar in various directions. The game teaches you its mechanics solely through clever level design—no tutorials needed. Its puzzles are modest in difficulty but rewarding, and the visuals, music, and sound design are exceptionally charming. A typical playthrough can be completed in a few hours.
- Platforms: Nintendo Switch (available now), PlayStation 5 (arriving March 11), Xbox Series X/S (later this month)
- Price: $11
