When you think E3, you most likely think of all the big companies coming in and throwing their money everywhere with big stage conferences, celebrity appearances and the biggest upcoming AAA titles.
Luckily, the team over at Kinda Funny have come in to support all the indie titles that may have fallen through the cracks if they were at those events. Showcasing over sixty games, there is something for any type of gamer.
Here are seven games (in no particular order) that stood out to us during the showcase!
Skate Bird
Developer: Glass Bottom Games | Release: 2020
This adorable game is a game about trying your best. Play as tiny birds (wearing cute hats) who are trying to skate in a landscape made up of office supplies.
EA won’t make Skate 4? Fine, @glassbottommeg is making @skatebirb. #KFGShowcase #E3 pic.twitter.com/lYTBZ39xcQ

Superliminal
Developer: Pillow Castle | Release: Coming Soon
Get ready to question your perception of reality in this puzzle title that gives off some serious The Stanley Parable vibes.

Lonely Mountains: Downhill
Developer: Megagon Industries | Release: 2019
It’s just you and your bike as you cruise down treacherous slopes at high speeds, racing towards the finish line. Just try not to stack it big time along the way.
These games from the #KFGShowcase look like an absolute blast to play and share with friends! #E3@necrosoftgames @PlayBOMBFEST @LonelyMnts @ContigoGames pic.twitter.com/cvwuW2NIow

Police Stories
Developer: Mighty Morgan | Release: September 19, 2019
In this top-down tactical shooter, shooting first is not an option. Play by yourself or with a friend in this cop drama, where every shot (and where it lands) counts.
You can experience the gripping crime thriller @plcstrs on Nintendo Switch this September! #KFGShowcase #E3 pic.twitter.com/grMxkdbrgK

Wave Break
Developer: Funktronic Labs | Release: Q1 2020
Jet skis, synthwave music, guns and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater influenced skating and tricks. If that combo isn’t enough to get you interested, then I don’t know if we can be friends anymore.
Wednesday at #E3, there’s a special section at the @indieexchange for select games from the #KFGShowcase. Here’s your look at the first four picks!@HamsterdamGame @dblstallion @wavebreakgame @GrahamOfLegend pic.twitter.com/sfAWyHbz5r
