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 »
Indie game: Crop Defenders
You know the world’s running out of twists on the Tower Defence concept when you get a game where bazooka-carrying birds are protecting a vegetable garden from bunnies. But it’s that odd twist that makes Rob Scherer’s Crop Defenders kinda… continue reading »
A Day Out West
Oh dear. Now I feel even worse for not liking all the hard work that’s gone into The Pretender. Because the game you see above was thrown together in 97 minutes. It’s A Day Out West, it’s by Legendary Creations,… continue reading »

The Chaser
What exactly is The Chaser all about? Creator Conor Carpenter fashioned it from brain and fingers in just 12 hours, and claims it’s designed to “induce a state of mind and mood”. Here’s how it does it: by making you… continue reading »
RepliCat
RepliCat is a bit like that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the Enterprise stumbles across a time-shifted doppelganger of itself. Yes, I know — wasn’t that EVERY episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation? Forget that for… continue reading »
Stunt Pilot 2
Not only does this look gorgeous, it plays fantastically too. The aim’s simple: fly through the rings, with only the up and down arrows on your keyboard for company (and Space for boost). It’s tougher than it looks — but… continue reading »
Party Boat
Messhof (aka Mark Essen) has just released this dodge-the-missiles game. It is fun. But it’s only fun when you’ve worked through the three ‘stages of comprehension’, which are: 1. realising that you’re rotating and thrusting, and — oh! — you… continue reading »
