Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Shrimp and a Swiss Army plasma rifle
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 a shrimp breeding game, some lovely places to explore, some bleak places to explore, and a plasma rifle with a surprising number of functions.
A perfect existence in slice-of-life game The Garden Path (coming to Steam):

🚨New weapon alert! 🚨
Meet the Plasma Rifle! By far our most complex weapon yet.
- Turn enemies into gibs.
- Overcharge environmental hazards to change or amplify their effects.
- Pick up any object in the game world and turn it into a weapon.

I don't know what Precursor is, but I fully believe one of the main reasons to have a fancy modern gaming PC is rendering unnecessarily cool clouds:
Well, except performance cost being insane, it has some potential... #Precursor #Gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/e8Ure7HKl0

Experimenting with ways to prevent trees from obstructing the character. This is kinda cool, but a bit much.#screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev pic.twitter.com/biuTG9Ygkc

And because Nate would want me to, here's Shrimp Keeper:
We all have it.
That deep-seated desire to breed the perfect shrimp. Satisfy your urges with #ShrimpKeeper, a management game where you experiment with different shrimp types to breed the rarest, most desired shrimp.
A work in progress!#gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/NGjy2tTAkj
