Meet Chasm, an upcoming indie 2D dungeon-crawler inspired by the likes of Ys III: Wanderers From Ys and other old-school RPG-slash-platformers from the 16-bit days.

16-bit gaming lives: Here's the latest trailer for Chasm, the Diablolike Metroidlike Castlevanialike Zeldalike retro-ish indie platformer for PC. It shows off the Catacombs level and is basically thirty seconds of pure awesome. Go watch it. And maybe check out the new website for more info.

Chasm, when it grows up, will be a Diablo- and Zelda-inspired side-scrolling action-RPG/Metroidvania for the PC. Currently, it's a wee demo attached to a $150,000 Kickstarter project. 15 days and a bit over $50,000 to go for this one.

Take Arms is a 2D multiplayer side-scrolling combat game destined for the Xbox Live Indie Games Channel. And it looks pretty great.
