One thing that the indie game development area of the gaming industry that is great is when indie developers release games that are a bit off the beaten path. This could be a game with a different visual style to it than what we normally see, or it could be a game with an odd theme to it which is the case with this new release from Esayitch called Drink Beer, Neglect Family.

Fans of MMORPGs have a new game to look forward to on Android soon called Pocket Guild from indie developers Sad Herring. Unlike other MMORPGs though, this one is a single-player game. How does that work? Mainly by making this game basically an MMORPG simulator of sorts. All of the content you would find in an MMORPG is here, except you’re the only actual real live player in the game.
Fans of the card game that was a Kickstarter phenom (getting $8 million+ in funding), there is good news: Exploding Kittens is coming soon to Android. The gameplay for the original card game is simple, in that players may play any number of cards they desire from their hand. At the end of their turn, they must draw a card, and then the next player does the same. Play continues until someone draws a card of an exploding kitty, at which point the player in question loses.
Released by Spunge Games Pty Ltd, Spunge Invaders is an arcade shooter where an invasion from space must be stopped. In an interesting twist, this isn’t alien ships being fended off from space with a star fighter, but instead is set on the surface of the ocean, and players are tasked with defending the world’s water supply from alien “spunges” that would seek to absorb all of the world’s water supply for themselves, before returning home.
Don’t Screw Up! is an interesting new game from developers named Shadow Masters.

The latest installment into our Level Up franchise is actually an episode of a sub-series that runs under the Level Up name called Gamecrap. This is where one game is selected as the topic usually, instead of a general video game related topic like in regular Level Up episodes, and is critiqued in a gentle manner. While the game may not necessarily be on Android for each of these Gamecrap episodes, the point behind what is being said can be applied to any platform of video gaming.
It’s the magical Hump Day today, or in other words it is Wednesday, which means the week is half over and the weekend draws near. There’s nothing like a little morning humor to get things going and today we have something pretty damn entertaining. While this specific thing was done on a PC, it is also completely do-able on your mobile device as well with the right software.
If you follow gaming news decently close, then you’ve probably caught wind at least once about the Nintendo Playstation, the bastard child of Sony and Nintendo that almost was. However, due to certain events, it never came to be and the two companies who had a loving relationship ended instead.
