Frank and Jordan, a dev team of two brothers, just released Wander Pug (Free) on the App Store, but are hard at work on another game, currently called Sur-5. Built in Stencyl, this is a rougelike survival game, featuring some good ole pixel art. You’ll use a joystick and two buttons to hunt for materials, take on animals for resources, and try to stay alive in the harsh, unforgiving desert.
Gotta fire up the grill and cook me some meat. Surviving the desert is no joke! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #sur5 made in @Stencyl pic.twitter.com/DIQd4fwV0b

This one looks rather interesting because I like these wilderness survival games, but the idea of having one that’s kind of stripped down to its core essence, and playable through simple controls. I mean, Crashlands ($6.99) stripped the survival genre down in many ways, but not to the degree that this game is doing. If it comes together, Sur-5 (or whatever its final title is) could prove to be rather promising.
