Free Game Friday: Grief

Grief is a puzzle platformer by Magnesium Ninja Studios that puts you in control of a small girl with a wide range of emotions that you must use to get through the levels.

Terraria

Terraria Preview

If you’re an avid Minecraft fan, you’ve probably seen the Terraria preview that notch posted about on Twitter a few days ago.

Garshasp: Let Me Show You Him

You’re probably looking at the main 2G1G site right now and thinking, “Puzzle Bots? Bob Came In Pieces?

His new project is called Hack, Slash, Loot and it is the very embodiment of what makes roguelikes appealing. He’s [...]

The Iconoclasts

Free Game Friday: The Iconoclasts

This week’s Free Game Friday is a bit more emotional than normal. It’s an unfinished game by Joakim Sandberg, better known as konjak throughout the indie circle. Of course the game features outstanding platforming and truly beautiful graphics, but the real tragedy here is konjak’s post that led to him posting the unfinished version of [...]

Samorost 3: Totally in the Works

Amanita Design is without a doubt one of my favorite indie developers, and despite their rather small library of games, each title, right down to their website menus, is a creative masterpiece. Responsible for such titles as Machinarium and Samorost 1 and 2, the Czech developers have recently announced not one but two new titles, [...]
