Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by multiple rope arrows, some markedly different public transport experiences, a casual bit of Mary Poppsining, and more! Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games.

A very different public transport vibe in the end-of-mission screen for immersive sim-y stealth FPS Peripeteia (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Do you ever sit on public transport after a long day and consider if what you did was worth it? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev pic.twitter.com/oxKPHPl83w

I briefly entertained myself with the thought that this section of shadow-hopping platformer Schim (coming to Steam) might be a lot confusing and panic-inducing for folks in roundabout-light places:

Our first rope arrow comes from Neverlooted Dungeon (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

No loot will stay out of reach thanks to the VertiClimb Rope Crossbow™, the essential tool for true dungeon raiders.🏹

Our second ropeflinger is a more aggressive projectile, a harpoon in immersive sim Gloomwood (in early access on Steam):

In other tethering developments, if invisible walls are to be inevitable, I really appreciate this game making them not just an annoying obstacle but something else you can enjoy playing with, bouncing and swinging on your tether:

Thinking about invisible walls this week, I've come to the conclusion that there is probably no way I will be able to avoid them so I was thinking about a way to integrate them in a more diagetic (if exploitable) way.#gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine pic.twitter.com/DAbrHHCbtb

I'd bury my face in the moss of Vivarium, "a retro cel-anime game about life inside a mysterious terrarium":

The tree hollow at sunrise 🌤️

Golden light casts in from the east of the terrarium (screen right).

Then I tint the shadows a blue-green. I use these colors for Vivarium mornings mostly because in my head that's just the look of an idyllic childhood sunrise.#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/tqbulmcjZI

A pleasing depth of detail in puzzle-platformer Bionic Bay (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Adding little creatures around this decayed world adds a slice of hope to this melancholic place.#gaming #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/Eh02Jafy7b

This cutscene from "story-heavy character action Zelda-like" Real Web Legends: Carter's Quest (coming to Steam, with a demo there now) goes places:

If in doubt, do like Danmaku Unlimited: Wyver Ultra and add violence:

Here comes metroidvania Emberbane (coming to Steam) with its own swish elemental violence ("influenced by Avatar: The Last Airbender," the devs say):

Fire is the element of power 🔥#screenshotsaturday | #pixelart | #ドット絵 pic.twitter.com/eGjf4EtA4n

Sure that's a cute overworld map in Tails Of Fate (coming to Steam) but I'm most taken with watching that foxy friend skitter around levels:

#screenshotsaturday #wip Had fun making the overworld map. Still testing some looks, but overall happy with where it's going. 🦊🌎#pixelart #gamedev #metroidvania #indiedev #ドット絵 pic.twitter.com/moqHCuEGRm
