A Few of My Favorite Indie Games - Part 1

Between Humble Bundle, Indie Royale, and Steam sales,I collect & play alot of indie video games…And why not? They’re innovative and offer alot of bang for your buck. In no particular order,here are a few of my favorite indie games that i’ve played.

Audiosurf

Terraria

Side-scrolling RPG goodness…This sandbox game offers alot of game for the price. It offers alot for those who enjoy creativity and exploration.

AaAaAA!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity

Awesome futuristic base-jumping game with alot of humor,wit,and charm. Innovative level designs and gameplay.

Trine 1 & 2 image

Trine 1 & 2 are side-scrolling platforming/puzzle/action games that require the usage of three heroes’ unique skills to progress in a fantasy setting. The physics-based puzzles and the usage of physics in combat is a unique selling point of the games. These games also boast gorgeous graphics for indie games.

Don’t Starve

Survival/exploration/adventure game with a style all its own. The game is addictive & fun,and challenging,with new features being added regularly. Its a purchase you won’t regret. I’ve put 59 hours into it since its initial beta release,and I’m still not ready to put it down.

…Well,that’s all for part 1. I’ll post more at a later date.

Humble Indie Bundle 5 released!

Arguably the best one yet. If you don’t know about the bundles, it’s pay what you want, DRM free, and you’ll be supporting charity and indie developers at the same time.

Pay more than $1 and unlock Steam codes for all of the games.

I’ve played Bastion,Amnesia & Psychonauts. All fantastic games on their own. This is definitely one of the best Humble Bundles I’ve seen.

Those of you who are into or interested in the indie game Terraria might be interested to know that there’s a similar game currently in development called Starbound. Which essentially appears to be Terraria in space. Personally,I love what Terraria did as a game,and would like to see that idea expanded further. It even shares some of the same members involved with Terraria,so I for one have high hopes for this game!
