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.
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. The developers call it optimism and pessimism and I suppose this is an accurate description, but there are also other emotions at [...]
If you’re an avid Minecraft fan, you’ve probably seen the Terraria preview that notch posted about on Twitter a few days ago. It’s an amazing 2D survival RPG that feels like it draws a lot of inspiration from Minecraft, but with significant differences that warrant a look at how the game plays. Thankfully, the game’s [...]
You’re probably looking at the main 2G1G site right now and thinking, “Puzzle Bots? Bob Came In Pieces? These aren’t real games.” While the indie developers of those games probably have a few things to say to you, a student team in Iran has heard your pleas for more violence, more blood, more gore.. and [...]
IndieGames.com ran an article a few days ago that detailed a new downloadable game by Japanese developer E. Hashimoto who is also responsible for Akuji the Demon. It’s a Castlevania style platformer that I downloaded as soon as the article ran, but it sat on my Desktop until today when I remembered it was Friday. [...]

The team got quite a bit of negative feedback in regards to the art direction and the perspective of the game, of which I must say included myself. I’ve expressed control concerns to the guys of [...]
Team Fortress 2 was a staple online Game for myself and Mahkia before the hat craze and Mann Co. store turned it upside down, so it’s my pleasure to let you guys know that the 8-bit TF2 demake, Gang Garrison 2 has received a much needed update. Thankfully, this update doesn’t include a shop for [...]
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time in between setting up our new Minecraft server to play a new roguelike in development by David Williamson, also known as OddBallDave on Twitter and TIGSource. His new project is called Hack, Slash, Loot and it is the very embodiment of what makes roguelikes appealing. He’s [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
