I think I played the first chapter few years ago and it was quite good from what I remember.
Btw, has anyone tried They Breathe? It's currently on Greenlight, but I've been thinking about picking it up somewhere else.

Is it about crying underwater frogs? Only interested if so.
Hansel and Gretel looks intriguing, loved The Path which was a red riding hood adaptation.

They Breathe was only for smartphones last time I checked, I think. So it's coming to PC or is it already out?
Yeah, but nevermind, lol.
You can buy it from here:

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-THEYB/they-breathe
http://store.indiecity.com/projects/TheyBreathe - this is the cheapest one.

I just released the first Engine demo for my game, Love+.
Demo's right here.
Blog post's right here.
I really need some bug testers. The old engine had interpolation errors and sound errors. This version has a new smooth camera, wider aspect ratio, and better controller support.
I posted about Love+ last month, but the entire game exists in the new engine now. As soon as I've gotten enough feedback, I'll be rolling the updated version out to the digital distribution areas (Level Up Studios & Desura). I'll probably post another couple dozen free keys on here, too.

Yeah, the new version plays waaaay better. The controls seem to be smoother, or at least its "lagging" less for me. I also had a weird issue that blurred the image in the current Desura version for me that is now gone in the new version.

If the trailer is anything to go by, it seems to be about murderous aquatic... cows... bullying innocent frogs. So... almost?

People REALLY need to check out The Drunk Devs.
http://www.drunkdevs.com/games/
Currently playing A Man's Quest. Is a really nice little platformer, nice music too.
This was after I played their most recent, Full Moon Rising. Which was very short but a cool little experience.
After I play A Man's Quest, I will have to check out,
Destroy the Porn
May be saving the best til last.
Just finished A Man's Quest and that end bit made me chuckle.

Not on the same level as Dear Esther, but still surprisingly good, if you can turn a blind eye on the technical shortcomings. Do not try to look for any info - the game is short and it could diminish the experience.
Edit: I mistakenly used fastest graphical setting instead of fantastic, so it looks much better now.
Added Shantae to the future section:

A 2D Platformer currently available on DSiWare. Depending on the demand, the devs are working on a PC. If you want to see it on PC, give it a thumbs up on the Greenlight link!

A very fun looking puzzle/RPG hybrid that released end of march. Pretty neat idea that you have 4 different heroes, based on the classic RPG classes that level up to unlock new skills to affect the game. Its not that expensive and made by a Gaffer, so give it a whirl!

Thanks! i am also very glad some people participate in here.

I remember this game from like nearly 4 and half years ago, came up during a GFW radio interview with some EA guy if I remember correctly? Still have the original version of it on a flash drive around here somewhere.
I think it's a shame that Shantae has to go through Greenlight. Better 2D than pretty much anything else on Steam.
The 'jump into the foreground/background' mechanic is very cool.
Not sure they'd need to go through Greenlight. The devs are using Greenlight as a measurement to see how many people would be interested in a PC port and then, if it gets greenlit, port it over.

Just finished the demo. Awesome! Didn't notice any problems with the game/360 controller. Just voted for it on Greenlight as well.
I'll be picking up the updated version as soon as it's ready.

Getting both Shantae and Dust on Steam will be a dream come true, 2013 is shaping up to be an amazing year for 2D PC gaming.

The hell is this? I want this. What is this?
This is why we can have nice things.
Interesting concept.
And I almost forgot to make my Vesper move!
Multiplayer experience in the same vein as Endless Forest and Journey. I signed up for an alpha/beta testing, so I let you know, as soon as I know something more - hopefully I'll get in.
Thanks for the mention. Signed up as well.
Great. It's more and more likely, that someone from GAF will have a chance to check it out.
An intelligent, free little horror adventure game called Homesick:

An incredibly cool idea of a guy who made a Rhythm game shmup called Rhythm Destruction:

The game looks pretty interesting AND is rather cheap, except that the music is quite... bad. I'd appreciate some impressions if anyone picks it up.

Oha, did you guys see this game? Just jumped on my anticipation list, called Ghost of a Tale:
Basically a 3D action adventure game starring a mouse fighting against undead rats. Watch the trailer, this looks seriously cool. Too bad the first game wont be all that big, since the dev is operating on a rather tight budget so far, but this is super charming.

You fell into the understandable trap of thinking to know what game Cart Life is by looking at the screenshots. Cart Life is way more than any other game in that genre I ever played so far. Cart Life is a very, very, very smartly designed and engaging experience.

Yeah it was posted in the Kickstarter Thread. It looks awesome but getting funds through indiegogo seems like a real bitch compared to Kickstarter where money seems to just flow into their pockets.
well, I played it for a bit and then bioshock infinite happened.
Ah okay, so you tried it at least
Your comment about making such a game when being bored was confusing, because the game is actually rather involved. Cant see many people hsaking such a game out of their wrists.
A Real World RPG where you are the Vide president of the earth, recruiting normal people to fight, called Citizens of the Earth:
http://edenindustries.ca/blog/?page_id=233
nope I mean like literally sitting down and coding a game like that. I really like game mechanics like schedules and resource management and all that, it's just that I never go anywhere with anything I make because work/life/whatevs.Ah okay, so you tried it at least
I'll prolly go back to it after I get bio infinite out of my system
A huge part of what makes Cart Life so special isnt just the resource(money,time) management aspect though, but also that the game manages to touch very emotional and human developments throughout the course of the game which completely caught me off guard. If you havent played much, I dont want to spoil it though.
But if you ever make any kind of resource management game, do let me know! I am a sucker for these kind of games too.
yeah I've noticed in the half an hour I played it.
I gotta get some gametime on it to leech ideas from it

Hmm...I enjoy rhythm games..as well as shmups...I may end up purchasing this.
As far as the music is concerned, those songs (at least the few I've heard) come from ITG (In The Groove). I wasn't expecting to hear songs that I knew, lol.
I'll give impressions if I do decide to pick this up. Thanks for posting that up. I would have never knew about it.
Just noticed this thread (LINK) in gaming discussion about when Indie games will tackle a first person 'simulation' RPG. Thought it might be an interesting discussion for in this thread as well. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I'd almost fit Minecraft into this category, it doesn't really hit the kind of games the OP describes as 'sim' RPGs though.
Has anyone seen something similar to what is described in the thread floating around? I get the feeling I've seen something but can't quite remember it at the moment.

Which reminds me, there is another cool shmup demo you should check out. They currently have a Kickstarter out (70 hours left!), and if you pledge at the 7 pounds tier, you'll get Rhythm Destruction Humans Must Answer, and Syder Arcade for free.:
Humans must answer
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1166550020/humans-must-answer-an-explosive-2d-shmup
Free demo here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/22im8gyalc58meu/HMADEMO.rar
It looks rather pretty and is VERY challenging. Should be on the radar of any shmup fan I think.

Is it a Journey-like game? If so, I'm in.
Just downloaded "Mumble Indie Bungle" and tried World of Glue (funny!) and 30 flights of loathing (depressing). Haven't tried the others yet, but will do so later today. Worth checking out at least, just for the novelty.

More impressions please!
Ok, don't want to give the games away too much, but here goes for 30 flights and Glue. Remember, the puns on the original game names are usually the entire game. They're really small and take a few minutes to play.
30 flights of loathing:
Ascend 30 flights of stairs in the worst possible way - by expressing your self-hatred via keyboard input. Fail and you'll get to start again. Feels like having to write something on the blackboard in school, over and over again, only this time it's self-deprecating sentences.
World of glue:
Imagine a platforming game where all surfaces are sticky ... TOO STICKY. Yeah, good luck with that jump in the end.
Going out for some lunch, will try Gurney later on
