RotAKoko (Rotating Agent Koko)
RotAKoko by Rakugaki-Otoko is a real labour of love – a two year labour of love that’s emerged as a rotaty maze game that’s a shootery spin (hoho) on the Super Nintendo’s On The Ball / Cameltry, except its got… continue reading »
Red Chaser
Cannot… stop… playing… Red Chaser. There’s little here that a bazillion Kongregate-hosted dodge-the-blob Flash games haven’t done before. But the music is relentless (Speed Of Dark by Cartoon Bomb, since you ask), the enemies come in just-discernible waves so it’s… continue reading »
Momentum
Update: Hmm, which came first: this… or the suspiciously similar My First Quantum Translocator? I’m inclined to think the latter, in which case Momentum’s a bit of a slyly sudden ‘tribute’. You like platformers with a twist. You like chubby robots… continue reading »

Treadmillasaurus Rex
John Cooney – aka jmtb02 – can do no wrong in my book. He has the strange, wizard-like ability to invent the world’s most laughably primitive games and then do… something that makes them not only top fun, but also funny,… continue reading »
Dance Dance Dance
Here’s another Ludum Dare 18 gem – and by the way I’ve played through over 100 entries so far so you don’t have to, and my eyes are starting to fuzz over. Dance Dance Dance from Nyarla (of the nightmare-inducing… continue reading »
Nudo
Thought I was clever, didn’t I, posting a link to this on TIGForums? Then realised the authors themselves had beaten me to it. I’ll get back into my hole. Anyway, Nudo is well worth all the links and mentions it’s bound… continue reading »
