The second Eye of the Creator Outreach event, which was held on the 23rd of February 2026, brought with it some interesting and fun titles. All the games pitched were unknowns to me, which really highlights the whole reason why this event exists: to bring more indie games to the forefront for us all to discover.
For anyone unsure what Eye of the Creator is, then let me fill you in. Hosted on BlueSky by a different content creator every month, the idea is for game developers to pitch their games to the host, who will help to discover facts and share their thoughts on each game. For players, it’s a great chance to discover unknown games, and it brings a new audience to the content creator. You can find more information on the Eye of the Creator website.
This month’s event was based around action, adventure and strategy-themed games and hosted by streamer ArmiaStars. With 23 titles pitched this time around, there was an array of games being showcased. Here we round up our favourites from the games featured, and with such a wide variety on show, it was a tough one this month.
If you would like to see the full thread of games, then you can find the BlueSky post here.
Look, I’m a sucker for a good 3D platformer, especially one that has used the late 90s and early 00s 3D platformers for inspiration, so when Cosmo Vulpes popped up in the thread, I was instantly on its Steam page, giving it a wishlist.
In this sci-fi set adventure, you play as bounty hunter Klaus as he and his partner, mechanic Safira, go on missions to gather energy gears and Vultech crystals in a bid to pay off their bills. Klaus’s main tool is his jetpack, which brings some fun elements to the gameplay.
With some fine-looking graphics, the promise of expressive movements, five rivals to face off against and a range of stylised characters to meet, Cosmo Vulpes really is ticking all the boxes.
It didn’t take long for the first roguelike to appear, and yes, I’m tiring of them too, but Deck of Memories rose straight into this list thanks to its promise of telling a narrative about the last lighthouse keeper and discovering the secrets of the lighthouse as you play.
The lighthouse keeper, Joon, reminisces about life using a deck of cards. Each memory features card battles on an interactive diorama board with the cards representing different memories. With the promise of some tactical battles with the unearthing of a touching narrative.
With a unique card-crafting mechanic, the power to build unique decks, different diorama boards and some cosy features, Deck of Memories is shaping up to be a potentially special game.
Bad Delivery: Pizza your Heart
Delivery games’ popularity is on the rise, and Bad Delivery: Pizza Your Heart is out to grab a slice of that action.
Playing as Belle, a down-on-her-luck graduate, she starts working at the local pizzeria to earn herself some money for the mounting bills. Make pizzas to order and deliver them around the local neighbourhood.
What this game does differently is to mix in some romance, as you’ll help Belle to navigate not only her work life but her love life too. Will she date a fellow co-worker, or is there someone else catching her eye? The choices are up to you!
In the stealthy platformer, you take control of the body of Kiyo, a feline ex-predator who’s stuck in Rabbithole, a neon-lit, dystopian city that’s filled with smartphone-addicted bunnies.
You’re out to fight the bunny regime and free the inhabitants of their tyranny by going on various stealth- and platform-based missions set by the wise owl in the hope you’ll uncover the bunnies’ master plans.
With a bow and ninja rope acrobatic skills at hand, you’ll need to decide when to be quiet or when violence might be necessary. With a satirical narrative and a semi-open world to also dig into, Kiyo Bunny Tyranny was one that really stood out from the crowd.
Bag of Dreams promises a cosy card-based roguelite, where your goal is to achieve the best dreams possible while avoiding creating nightmares which could see your run come to an end.
The game seems to have a robust and deep card-based system involving dust or dream essence, shops and nightmare fuel, which grows as more nightmare cards are added to the board. Terrors and trauma could then raise their heads to truly disrupt your game and threaten to end it prematurely.
With hundreds of synergies possible, multiple dream spaces with unique mechanics and a risk system that encourages and rewards bold and reckless deductions, Bag of Dreams could be the one to really shake up the genre.
An action platformer set on a crashed spaceship. Help Red-Bo to investigate the spaceship which is full of traps, enemies and many more obstacles.
The big hook here is that you choose which stage to play, as there isn’t a set path. Each stage promises unique visuals, enemies and other nasties to stop your investigation, all shown through some fun retro-style graphics.
The developers have promised a balanced challenge for both veterans of 2D platformers and newcomers, with those of all skill levels being able to enjoy the game’s offerings. I’m certainly looking forward to finding out more about the game and hope that it builds on the promises it’s laid out.
The second 2D action platformer comes from a game that was released in Dec 2024. Since then it’s received a ‘very positive’ rank thanks to the 127 reviews it’s gained since its release.
In CODE Bunny, you’ll be challenged to master the skills of two different protagonists, Alex and Hazel, as they face the mysterious group called ‘Mad Bunny’. Using high-speed movement and fun combat mechanics, you’ll be able to rip through enemies while scoring high combos thanks to the game’s fast battle mechanics.
Explore the mysterious sunken city of Atlantis in this upcoming 2D puzzle Metroidvania game. While not much is said about the narrative, it seems there are many secrets to find and mysteries to solve on your journey.
The puzzles incorporate the game’s main mechanic of being able to switch between different robots and using their unique abilities. You’ll also be required to play with the water levels, which will affect not only the environment around you but also enemies, puzzle elements and the characters themselves.
Shown through some well-detailed visuals, Light of Atlantis is shaping up nicely, and as a Metroidvania fan, I’ll be watching its progress very closely.
