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 [...]

This week is all about adventure games, with the girls exploring Erin Robinson’s newest creation, Puzzle Bots, as well as a few other top notch adventure games that have been released recently.

We’re back after taking a break for zombie Jesus Day and Overlord Ror hurdling headlong toward the grave another year at a time, this time to discuss a great mixture of games and even one sent in from a fan!

Yes, you read that correctly. In case you haven’t yet heard, which almost seems impossible, considering how quickly this game exploded across the internet, developer Charlie Hoey created an NES-style homage to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic, The Great Gatsby. And it’s gotten some attention. What makes the game particularly remarkable, apart from being simply a [...]

If you love indie games and you use Twitter, I’ve got a great surprise for you. I regularly change my Twitter profile depending on the indie games I’m enjoying at the moment.

In celebration of Saint Valentinus taking a few arrows from those pesky Romans, the guys over at Lost Decade Games are offering Onslaught! Arena for free on Valentine’s Day only.

There’s something greatly appealing about browser games. Not having to download anything is always a plus, and the ease of access of a browser game makes it that much easier to procrastinate. And as you may have noticed, I’m a big fan of procrastinating. This Friday’s offering reminds both of us of a top down [...]
If you’re not familiar with Brendon Chung, you should be. He’s the fantastic chap behind Blendo Games and such wonderful creations as Gravity Bone and Flotilla.
