Indie Games 2014 [July] Now Voting - Post 430!

Sweet, I took Creeper World :) Awesome, thanks!

And <3 for giving out ToME love. I am about to make a mechanics discussion thread for it atm.

Your very welcome, really enjoying it myself just now and hope you do too.

Look forward to the thread, ToME is an amazing game that could easily have passed me by had it not been for those speaking up for it.
 
I cant stop playing it myself T_T

How far did you get?

I didn't got too far, reached the city after killing the forest boss, went to the coliseum and became the "champion" then I went to a dungeon and something killed me there. I stopped playing because there were other games I wanted to finish and ToME could end consuming a lot of my time.
 
Appreciate it!



Wow, thanks! I've had my eye on this game for a little while now.

You are in for a treeeeeeeat. (Say goodbye to any other game for the next few days)
 
Cubic Roll - Free (PC)

Rolling a cube has never been more challenging. Stay on track for as long as possible, collect coolers and avoid overheat, win medals and beat records!

Now I haven't played this yet, but it's already a bit more special than your usual freeware game for me. The developer of this was also the dev of the IOS game Line Bound, which was the game that inspired me to start my blog. I had been frustrated that there was no site coverage of the game anywhere, and started IGE to spread the word. It was my first article
 
The Iconoclasts - (PC)

Konjak site

The Iconoclasts is about Robin, a mechanic, in a world where her hobbies are considered illegal. Find out why as you traverse the world with the friends you meet, while coming across big battles and puzzles.

The goal of the game is to create a very fluent and exciting action adventure, with enemies that all require finesse and treasures that help build your character for playing again and again. And the game of course has and will have involved bosses.

There are two alpha versions and game still is in development, and is coming along nicely as you all can see in these two videos 1, 2.

Special thanks to Rayge who posted the trailer in the Steam thread.
 
Would you guys say I should rather call it "Best roguelike you ever played (Tales of Maj Eyal edition)" or a "10 reasons you should play this roguelike (Tales of Maj Eyal Edition)"?

I prefer the "10 reasons you should play this roguelike (Tales of Maj Eyal Edition)".

I could see the "Best Roguelike" claim turning the thread into a debate on which roguelikes are better than ToME

I'd go with "10 Reasons"

The thing is, I'd actually love to read elaborate texts on why other people prefer other Roguelikes, but you are right, the 10 reasons one would probably make for a more positive and focussed thread.

The thread got quite a tad longer than I expected it to be btw. I am currently at exactly 10,000 characters and I still need to write up #5 to #10.
 
It would have to be a tie between NEO Scavenger and Spelunky for me
Spelunky is disqualified, a discussion of games that are actually "like Rogue" for old and bearded man incoming :P

Well you know I subscribe to the broader definition, but if we're only talking turn based roguelikes, then my favorite is NEO Scavenger

Woo! I'm going to make sure I subscribe to this thread :D
Welcome to the wonderful world of IndieGAF!

To those who don't know, HollowNight is one of the devs working on Beacon

I know, I have no issue talking about the broader definition as well, but I'd actually like to get down and dirty and talk about the classic variant, especially since the hybrids usually get enough attention these days anyway (Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, FTL)
 
Haven't played ToME (yet), but Desktop Dungeons has my vote for best roguelike. Played since early alphas, and the final product is so polished, fun, and challenging. It is one of my goto games for people that aren't familiar with indies and need a few great ones to change their perspective, or get acquainted.

High five. In terms of the more classic roguelike then Desktop Dungeons is probably my favourite too (it's Spelunky if you stretch the definition out to include the hybrid ones).
 
Haha, someone in a joyful mood today ;p

For once!! That Broforce deal works out at about £5 - gonna check it out now!

Nuuvem is legit in case anyone is wondering. They are really good about marking region locked titles in a way that English speakers can understand, see the sidebar for an example http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/1821-dark-souls-ii. I have bought from them 3 or 4 times with no issues using an American address.

And you can use Paypal if you're worried!
 
Hey guys!

It's Crunching Koalas here - a tiny indie studio that just launched MouseCraft. We just launched our game on PC, PS4, PS3, Vita and we just wanted to let you know about that.

The game is kinda a mix of Lemmings and Tetris, where you have to guide mice to the cheese by putting Tetromino bricks in the right places. Your final goal is to help the crazy cat scientist - Schrödinger, in his experiment on mice.

Here's our launch trailer, but watch out! It's pretty cheesy (if you know what I mean...): http://youtu.be/YFddo-7rwb0

And here are some recent reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mousecraft



There are different kinds of Tetromino bricks (for example: exploding, jelly, crumbling, etc.) enemies, enviromental hazards, stuff to collect, lots of achievements, 80 levels, a level editor and pretty cool soundtrack composed by a guy who makes music for The Witcher 3, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and also made the theme for Dark Souls 2 announcement trailer.



Anyway, the game is available on Steam, GOG.com, PSN and directly through our website.

If you have some questions - please drop them here!

Cheers,
Tom

While designing the game, were you aware of Gussun Oyoyo? Or is the similarity completely coincidental?

Nice to see it released. :)

Crawl was delayed. Here's an informative GIF explaining why
powerhoof_VS_IRS_big.gif

That's a very creative way of explaining the delay.
 
Any 4PM impressions? It looks hot.

Sounds interesting going by the description and this part made me chuckle.

This is not a typical, mechanics driven game, it is a short, interactive story with gameplay elements. If you are interested in something a bit different, experimental, then this is it, if you are looking for an open world, leveling up, puzzles and 10 hours of gameplay then this is probably not for you. I do appreciate amusing, negative comments though :D
 
This is true, the positive reviews just reaffirms that the game is what is advertised in the store page.

Steam reviews are only good for entertainment purposes, anyway:

This fails as an art

People are saying this is not a game. They must be dumb. That is exactly what's said on the store page.

I played this with expectations of playing an artsy interactive creation.

Personally, I feel this pseudo game fails at that even. [...]

LOL
