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.
This past Monday marked the end of the 20th Ludum Dare challenge, where indie devs are given 48 hours to create a game around a common theme. The theme for this competition was, “It’s Dangerous to go Alone! Take this!“; which is a phrase that has become a common hallmark for roguelikes and RPGs. I [...]
At the beginning of last month, I wrote a preview for an upcoming indie game called Hack, Slash, Loot. It’s a neat little roguelike that sits comfortably between not quite as short as Desktop Dungeons and not quite as involved as Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. The build that I played was an early demo [...]
Sarah and I realized trying to keep up with the news side of things on the indie scene is pretty much impossible with two people who aren’t going at it as a full-time job. We both love the scene, but sometimes its stressful trying to sort through what’s newsworthy and what’s not. That’s why we’re [...]
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 [...]
Earlier this year Rock, Paper, Shotgun did a feature on Arcen Games’ newest endeavor, entitled A Valley Without Wind. 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 [...]
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, [...]
So you can bust through hordes of zombies with your friends in Left 4 Dead with no problem. Maybe you can last more than 10 minutes in Nation Red with all your overpowered traits and power-ups. You’re a zombie killing machine. Dead Meets Lead wants to take you to school with that notion by offering [...]
For a limited time, Jason Rohrer is offering his latest game, Inside a Star-Filled Sky, under a Pay What You Want scheme with a minimum price of $1.75. Buying the game gets you the Windows version, the Mac version, and the source code, the latter of which is also Linux friendly. All of this is [...]
