Take on big oil and pirates as a lonely wind turbine in Spin Tide

Indie developers just keep coming up with absolute gems. Spin Tide is another survivor-like but it's the style and animations that hooked me in.

From the Steam page - "You’re a lone wind turbine in a sea ruled by oil-guzzling giants, and you’re about to ruin their day. Blow them out of the water. Fry them with lightning. Blast them with a foghorn, then bury them under a tidal wave. Grow from a bobbing underdog into a floating powerhouse, bristling with every part a turbine was never meant to have: call in a whole wind farm or ring the bell for the Kraken. Fog, coral, ice floes and alligators: four unique seas brimming with pirates and real big baddies. Face off against giant oil tankers, floating pirate fortresses and many more. Make them regret picking a fight".

I think you'll agree it looks fun! Hilarious idea, but an interesting one for the times with the green energy push.

No demo just yet so it's one to stick onto your wishlist.
