Some of you might have guessed I have a weakness for Metroidvania games, and I thought I would highlight another upcoming one which seems to have a lot of potential - Chasm.
The list of features are:
"Explore Metroid-like dungeons procedurally assembled from hand-crafted rooms in six diverse areas
Enjoy challenging retro gameplay and gorgeous authentic pixel art (320×180 native resolution)
Discover new special abilities and powers to reach previously inaccessible areas
Play how you want by equipping weapons, spellbooks, shields, and more to both hands
Uncover random loot drops and rare items
Battle massive bosses & mini-bosses
Avoid devious traps and platforming hazards
Includes Normal and Hardcore (Scored with Permadeath) Modes
Leaderboards for Hardcore playthroughs featuring quickest time, least damage taken, and more
Windows, Mac, & Linux versions with Gamepad support"
It look really nice, and there is a free 20 min demo on the website. You can also pre-order the game through everybodys favorite store, Humble Store, which will give you a choice of DRM free or Steam key
