Indie Games

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) - Free

A very basic platformer, warning VERY addictive.

 

World of goo - Costs £16.99 from Steam

Build stuff using Goo Balls to reach the levels objective

 

AudioSurf - Costs £5.99 from Steam

Creates a track from YOUR music on your computer for you to ride on and match coloured blocks.

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)

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.

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.

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.

Oh, it's indie alright lmao.

 

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.

Holy Jesus that was ridiculous. Some of my music I couldn't do better than 30 seconds on hardcore.

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.

Doomy edit: I like sheep

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.
