Indie Games 2016 [March] Nope, still not done

The price is a bummer, I was more expecting like $15, especially considering that Stephen was still pondering a few weeks ago whether the game would be free.

The game ought to be mind-blowing for its level design. Increpare is really good at this.
Aha, that explains things. I think this might be his only paid release since English Country Tune?
 
Jonathan Blow on Stephen's Sausage Roll
Unsurprisingly, he’s also looking forward to playing other puzzle games like the four-dimensional Miegakure, and Stephen’s Sausage Roll, which he describes as “one of the best puzzle games ever made, or one of the best video games ever made”.
 
Wait, Sausage Roll is made by the Slave of God guy? Wowie, that has upgraded that game from "interested" status to "possible impulse buy" one.
 
The text "one of the best games I ever played" and the screenshots dont go together in my head. Need to check it out eventually, but the review doesnt do a great job informing the reader what about the game is so unlike any other puzzle game, that it justifies that price tag and praise.

it's a poorly written review
 
Anyone found a better one?

Too bad I'm awful at puzles, didn't play The Witness for that, so that Sausage Roll seems completely out of my league.
 
April thread should be up at some point today.
 
So with the recent revelations I decided to check out English Country Tune on my steam and was surprised to see that I had only put like eight minutes into it. I couldn't remember much about it so I didn't know why I bounced off it so quick. Anyway so I boot the game up and discover a weird looking block pushing game, all which doesn't tell me why I put like no time into the game. And then the 3D elements started and the puzzles went from manageable to my brain packing up and leaving my body cos it was so unable to cope. I do consider myself quite good at some puzzlers but the visual logic to space awareness that this game requires is leaving me in the dust.

The spatial stuff was easier to grasp when I realized it was basically "Whatever plane you're on = ground" and the direction of gravity changes accordingly.
 
Anyone been following Arcadian Atlas? It's a sRPG that's very FFT/TO inspired in look and story. They just launched a Kickstarter today that looks decently solid.
 
I never finished it first time around.

Reinstalling right now.

Still cant believe how deep the game had its hooks in me. The combination of deck building, RPGing, roguelike events, and simple but responsive (to controls and story decisions) combat was so, so, so good.
