Cave Chaos 2, unstable platformer

As you may have already noticed, I'm not a huge fan of browser games but, damn, today I got really something worthy. Cave Chaos 2, by Nitrome, is a freshly published platformer that really deserves a little try. Nitrome Nitrome is a huge "indie" company that releases every once in a while high quality browser games characterized by an indistinguishable pixel art that I'm sure, no one can dare to dislike. All their games are easily playable directly...

Funding Sunday, Kenshi

Today's Funding Sunday feature is Kenshi, and also a question that is twirling in my mind: why isn't this game getting all the funds it should deserve? Lo-Fi Games We're talking about a 1-man game development studio. Who's actually working alone for already a long time on this quite innovative concept of gameplay, mostly based on freedom, from what I see. Lo-Fi Games, as it is also stated in the indieGoGo campaign, don't have any other previous...

Kyoto plays with your senses

Hello! I'll be spending just a couple of minutes to remember you guys that Kyoto reached its beta stage and you know what? It's downloadable for free! But, what's Kyoto? I must admit, I totally didn't get the point of the whole game, in the beginning. This happened probably because it was my very first approach with an interactive ambiental musical visualizer. I can't really say that the game is actually "fun" to play, but if you're that kind...

Some apologies

Yeah, I'm here just to tell you in a couple of lines what is it going to happen. I doubt that I'll be able to write any other post till June, exams are really close and since I always wait to do something instead of studying a bit each day, I'm incredibly in troubles. My studying schedule for this semester failed badly in the beginning and now, well, I must take care of me and my future life. (Don't worry, I'll be coming back at least as cool as Jesus!) P.S: Yeah, Diablo III is really coming out in 4 hours <3 ~L...

Alright guys, I love bundles, that's a fact, and that's also why am I writing about All-Stars Bundle even if I should be studying 24/7. But hey! whats different?

So, let's start by saying why did this project amazed me enough to bring it here. First of all, the indie development team Envision, is already funding the entire project since the very first day from their own pockets, bringing already something to show...

Hartacon, a quite interesting RPG project

Being italian, I really MUST talk about Hartacon, one of the most promising indie projects that I've ever seen in my country (it makes me proud, somehow). Hartacon is being developed by Daniele Messina under his alias (Charlie Fleed) and a small group of people, including his brother. The original game was going to be created in RPG Maker but they decided to export it in XNA, in order to release it on Xbox and PC. But what is Hartacon Tactics? ...

SpyParty - A revolutionary espionage game?

Hello! Today I'll be spending a couple of words trying to present SpyParty, an indie game developed by Chris Hecker . Even though the game is still in its paid beta stage, most of the playtesters as long as its developer claim that there isn't anything close to the kind of experience provided by this title, hopefully I'll be able to see this by myself in some days (as soon as I afford some spare cash). Revolutionary? So, what does this game...

Some thoughts, projects, ideas

Hello readers! It's sunday afternoon and I've got nothing to do at all, so, I just thought that I could share what I've been thinking in the last days. First of all, I consider my Indie Gala coverage closed! I know, I'm still missing a game and the extras as well, but, I think that I've been spending already too many time on it, plus, it feels like that the real central core of the bundle has been already covered. Will be looking forward Indie Gala...
