Join us every week for our definitive one-stop podcast to quench your thirst for outstanding independent games. From clever old school 8-bit freebies to the best and brightest indie console titles, we bring you the news so you don’t have to go looking for it. Games you’d be hard-pressed to find coverage for otherwise, the 2 Girls are there to shed the light on an oft-neglected aspect of gaming.
As platformers tend not to call to me as they do a lot of gamers, when one comes along that I’m thoroughly enthused about, it’s a big deal. It’s interesting, then, that such a game came along with such simple, almost poetic form. Meet Super Crate Box, the 8-bit arcade-style platformer that brings us back [...]
This game has been getting a fair amount of attention lately, and rightly so. As games like Minecraft have shown us, the simplest of concepts can appeal to the widest possible audience. Jajitsu’s Jables’s Adventure packs adorable graphics, a sharp wit, and easy to learn controls into a pleasing gameplay experience right from the first [...]
Some games have a certain quality about them that leaves you inexplicably mystified. Where We Remain contains a simple charm on the surface, and yet something a bit darker when you take the time to peel back the layers. It is described as something of an adventure game, but I find it a little difficult [...]
With IndieCade upon us offering a fantastic selection of diverse indie games, we thought it only appropriate that at least one of the finalists be featured in a Free Game Friday. Because I’m such a sucker for puzzle platformers, it would be difficult to say no to a game like Creaky Old Memory, even if [...]
With Comic Jumper on the horizon, we recently got to have a chat with Mike Henry of Twisted Pixel Games to discuss game design, platforming history, Twisted Pixel’s previous titles, and a little bit about how Comic Jumper will play out. If you’re stoked for the game, then you definitely won’t want to miss this [...]
Since Super Meat Boy will be released October 20th for XBLA (and November 20th for PC), Team Meat have posted a video of the first 20 minutes of the game with commentary from both Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes. It’s amazingly unprofessional, and probably the most fun I’ve seen in awhile. Check it out:
Soooooo for those of you who don’t know, Fez is an awesome game. And by awesome, I mean totally awesome. The game debuted at GDC 2008 as a working prototype and since then, developer Polytron has teased the indie community with tidbits from the game, going so far as to create this totally awesome and [...]
Some of you may recall a little Tumblr called Game a Day, in which Overlord Ror would post, appropriately enough, a free indie game a day for your enjoyment. While it was an ambitious and fun project, playing and reviewing a game a day can be somewhat of a daunting task when we don’t all [...]
