For most, weekends mean two days off work with some much-needed R&R. But for game developers, it’s a time during which they get to show off what they’ve been working on. I am of course referring to Screenshot Saturday, which involves tweeting screenshots with the #ScreenshotSaturday hashtag; some of which I will be critiquing every Tuesday, in Speculating Screenshots.

Remember, no fighting in the war room! That goes double for the fella in the creepy black outfit and the… person with that funky hairdo.

Holy pixellated picture, Batman! Well, probably because it’s a screenshot of a mobile game, meaning it’s meant to be viewed on a smaller screen. That said, how the heck does he navigate it? Those in-flight controls look… odd.
Pirate rpg pinball (@castpixel)
How’s that for a genre mash-up, eh? Pirate pinball with RPG elements. Yup. I don’t even know where to begin, but I do love how crazy the concept is!

From crazy to a few months early: ladies and gentlemen, the headless horseman rides… in March! Last time I checked, all things spooky were supposed to appear around Halloween, ya know? But with such a funky screenshot, I’ll allow (and include) it.

More pinball? You bet! This one looks more like the dungeoncrawler-esque sort though, with pirate involvement being highly unlikely. Also, something about a huge and exciting update, because, teasers.

“Obey”? NEVER! And neither will what I assume is the protagonist, as she’s already made for the nearest exit by way of fire escape. At least, I’d like to think that’s what’s going on. Maybe it isn’t. Maybe it is.
