In Episode 22, Xander and Jeff dive headfirst into another batch of indie chaos and charm—from retro-inspired shoot-'em-ups to language barrier roguelikes and everything in between!

🎮 Newest Indie Games Played & Discussion:

• Red Blue Cell – Xander plays a dev-provided gem with strong Ikaruga vibes but dressed in slick NES-style pixel art. A blast from the past with a twist!
• Escape from Tethys – Xander makes progress… right up until the game freezes at a boss fight. Oof.
• Lunavania – A roguelike Metroidvania with potential—once you figure out how to change the language from Chinese and squint at the tiny Steam Deck text. (Bonus challenge?)

🔭 On the Horizon – Indies We're Watching:

• Beat Slayer – Rhythm meets hack-and-slash mayhem!
• Guidus Zero – Pixel art and dungeon crawling? Yes, please.
• Tennis Fighters – Pong with fists. We’re intrigued.
• Everhood 2 – The musical madness continues—will it hit the same heights as the original?

Packed with gameplay impressions, developer love, and indie oddities, Episode 22 is a glitchy, groovy, and good-humored ride through the best (and weirdest) indie games we’ve found this week!
