Indie World Showcase

What I like

Mina The Hollower has that old-school 2-D Zelda vibe

Well, Dweller looks interesting

Ball X Pit (From Devolver Digital) also looks interesting

Glaciered is one I’m keeping an eye on

UFO 50 is something I might like

What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Outside of Hollow Knight Sliksong not being in this showcase, it just wasn’t that good
