I do like these kinds of videos, offering a brief glimpse of what may be coming soon, but in a couple of cases, I might have wished for a glimpse that wasn't quite so brief:
Rigor (start to 0:15): looks to be a rip off of the hyperspace/tunnel sequence from Stardust, particularly in that the 'tunnel' is a five-frame animation comprised of 1/4 of the screen duplicated and flipped to create the other 3/4. Animation looks good, but the movement of the player's ship around the screen looks a bit slippery.
Bomb (0:15 to 0:45): pretty standard Scramble-type game, but very nicely animated... and with music by the legendary David Whittaker.
Cab Hustle (0:45 to 1:20) pretty standard Thrust-type game, picking up passengers and dropping them off at their required pad.
Holcan - Warrior of the Sun (1:20 to 1:57): describes itself as a 'game idea', and appears to be essentially The LastNinja Inca. Trevor Storey has been attached to some pretty cool recent games, though, so one to watch out for.
Limbo (1:57 to 2:37): C64 conversion of the well-regarded platform game that debuted on XBox Live Arcade back in 2010. Excellent presentation given the low resolution C64 screen, but not for arachnophobes.
Scarabaeus II (2:37 to 3:26): intriguing that appears to start as a split-screen overhead bombing run, leading to a maze game in which you have to navigate via an overhead map, with the game displaying simultaneous front and rear views.
Wolfling Reloaded (3:26 to 3:58): Nice parallax scrolling scenery, but looks like this may just be a remake of a game from 2019..?
Another World (3:58 to 4:41): Just a snippet of the intro animation for this Amiga/Atari ST conversion. It doesn't look that great as it's using the C64s higher res/lower colour screen mode. Supposedly the developer has done a lot more work on it since producing this, though.
Star Hawx (4:41 to end): Pretty simple Galaga-type game with a... poultry theme? The super-widescreen presentation doesn't help this kind of game...
