Steel Media regularly holds indie Pitch events throughout the year. These are events where developers can pitch a game they are currently developing, to a panel of judges. If you are in the top three then you win various prizes that are meant to help you out with your game’s launch. However, a few times a year there are also Big Indie Pitch events and these are much bigger versions of the regular indie pitches. This means the prizes are also bigger.
So Google has decided to host an indie game mega sale featuring eight indie games marked down by 50% or more off their normal prices. Pretty much every one of these games on sale are worth picking up so for those of you looking to score a couple of good games, now is a very good time to do so.
Well, our Under The Radar column was meant to be something we did once every week or so, but in just the past few days I’ve come across some really good titles from first-time indie developers. So that leads us to our second Under The Radar for the week. More than half of the games on this list can be classified under the “brutal” category, so if you’re looking for challenging games then be sure to give them a go.
Back in September of 2011 we talked about a game called CheeseMan from developer Hicham Allaoui. For those of you not familiar with who Hicham Allaoui is, he has worked on a variety of title professionally for the Nintendo DS including the likes of Raving Rabbids Travel in Time.
There are plenty of retro-style racing games we would like to see land on the Android Market, perhaps with a bit of a facelift to bring it a bit more into the modern times but still keeping that retro edge that makes old games still fun to play even today. One such game that is trying to accomplish this is Turbo Racer.
Today, considering it being Cyber Monday and we as society have been dealing with craziness since Thanksgiving with family, Black Friday sales, weekend sports (and recovery) and Cyber Monday deals now, it’s only fitting we bring a Hidden Gem of a game to the table that is down right insane. Coming from Xbox Live is Techno Kitten Adventure.
Over the past month or so we’ve been talking about the hit indie game from 2D Boy called World of Goo and that it would be coming to Android. In fact last week we mentioned that it would be arriving today and 2D Boy hasn’t disappointed us! World of Goo is now available on the Android Market.
While the release of this side-scrolling multi-level shooter from developers Alientrap is still a little ways off, they have announced that Capsized will be coming to Android. This is an interesting little shooter that has you fighting for survival, and escaping from, an alien planet you happened to have crash landed on.
A great modern remake of the old school game Qix has just been released by Eclipse Games for the PC and Mac. The developer, who used to work from some big named studios before going indie when they closed, has mentioned plans to bring it to mobile which includes Android.
We like indie games as much as we like the big named titles as well and Bent Spoon Games will be offering up a pretty unique game called Girl with a Heart of this November on multiple platforms including Android. When it comes to indie games, you can always expect something unique and this is no exception.
