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.

So far when it comes to the Rayman franchise mobile devices have had a few runners to enjoy. However, when it comes to an actual Rayman game, like we have been used to on other platforms, there hasn’t been anything available for mobile gamers to play. That is going to be changing next week apparently.
Help the young zombie boy enjoy his favorite dumplings in Zombie Bounce, now available for download
Released by Triniti Stars Ltd, Bounce Zombie is a new arcade platformer. Players will assume the role of a young boy who feasted only on dumplings. This lasted until the village ran out, and the poor kid starved to death, rather than eat any other food. Once zombified, the undead youth now spends his time seeking out more dumplings, and won’t back down from any peril that would deter him from his goal.

February is shaping up to be a good month for snowboarding games. While everyone awaits Alto’s Adventure, which should be coming out this week, and Red Bull Media House is releasing Snowboarding the Fourth Phase next week, there is a game out now by Defy Media, that is full of action and fresh powder. Don’t miss playing Operation Snowfall. It is full of variety, action and a snowboarding heroine, that could take on any James Bond action sequence.
Who doesn’t love Gnomes? Aside from being an unusual character for a game, Qubic Games and Chillingo have chosen to create a side-scrolling platform game starring a Gnome. The game is colorful, varied in game play, and tough as nails. Guess what? I like it. Some games stray away from making games in the upper tier of difficulty. That is not the case with Geki Yaba Runner. It is tough, but it is rewarding. A jumping, bouncing and floating Gnome collecting socks, should not be ignored.
Howling Hamster Games has released their first game onto Android called Goldbeards Quest. As the story goes in this game, the Dwarf King threw a massive party, spending all the gold that the kingdom had and all the booze that was stored up before the party is now gone. If you know anything about Dwarves, they drink a lot. So without money to buy more booze, and no actual booze to drink right now, there’s problems in the Dwarf Kingdom.
Studio Baikin is an independent game studio based in Lyon, France. What we know about this studio is that they produce good games that have a visual aesthetic that captures you. They are the creators of Dark Guardians, Climax and Slashing Demons. Their latest game Atomi, is a logic-puzzle game that is just as enjoyable as their last puzzle game Climax, though they are a bit different from one another.
One of the mechanics usually required to play any type of platformer is the ability to jump. Meet Super Undercover Slime Agent, an upcoming platformer with plenty of humor and one really interesting twist to it, there’s no jumping involved. The good news… sort of… is that you can bounce a bit, which means you’ll need to master the skill of bouncing off things to clear gaps and the like.
