Brad25891 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I thought I'd make a thread about indie games and developers as I find the indie game scene very open and much less restrictive compared to mainstream games. I've only really played a few indie games which would be AudioSurf, World of Goo, and N (The way of the ninja). I don't know about you but theres something about these games that always keep me going back for "One more song/level/try". What indie games do you play/Have you played? And which ones could you recommend? This includes free ones and paid ones. N (The way of the ninja) - FreeA very basic platformer, warning VERY addictive. World of goo - Costs £16.99 from SteamBuild stuff using Goo Balls to reach the levels objective AudioSurf - Costs £5.99 from SteamCreates a track from YOUR music on your computer for you to ride on and match coloured blocks.

Demoli Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have world of goo for the wii, it's a pretty awesome game, one of my top favourites actually :thumbup: Other than that I also played Braid and trine, and I'm looking forward to shank, Limbo and Lost in shadow (not sure about this one, if it's indie or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine naked men Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Beat Hazard is a pretty awesome Indie game. I got it for like $5, I think. It's pretty much the child of Audiosurf and Asteroids on LSD. You pick a song and then blow things up in a spaceship with very pretty guns. It gets really hard because there's so much going on in the faster/heavier songs, and loads of enemies on the screen at once. D: Also, Coniclysm's a pretty awesome time killer. I really don't know how to explain it. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Crayon Physics is the coolest thing ever. I think it's like $20 to download from the developer, I played it at a museum for like an hour once. http://www.crayonphysics.com/ I need to buy it. sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Would Enex count? Bonus points for being made by A TIF'er. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheValeyard Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I was tempted to get Noby noby boy or w/e, that looked pretty hilarious and crazy, not sure if it was indie or not though but it was £2.50 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, even the main developer for it wasn't even sure why he made it. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

Seraphi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Dwarf Fortress. It may be a graphical mess, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomy Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Mount and Blade would be an indie game that is alot of fun. Been playing Warband expansion (standalone) and it allows you to rule a kingdom which is even better.And it was made by a guy and his wife.

Napalm Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd say Penumbra is one of the greatest, if not the greatest indie game ever. It gave fear a whole new face. Specially Black Plague. You want weapons? [bLEEP] YOU! Here, have a zombie with a lantern that will find you if you try to hide and will chase you running if you try to escape. Also, I agree with DOOMY, M&B is alot of fun, but I couldn't be assed to finish the game. I played for like 700 in day games, and it got tedious. Still, I strongly suggest everyone who likes medieval style combat oriented games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoli Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 One morething, does "I wanna be the Guy" counts as Indie? Because I've been playing a lot of it recently :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
