GAF Thread: Freeware Games
So many free games are out there and so many are just really good games that a large majority of people will never play. From developers with large portfolios of freeware games, to free alphas and betas, to the hundreds and hundreds of entries for game jams such as Seven Day Roguelike, Seven Day FPS, Ludum Dare, and others, to the talented work of Digipen students, there's just an astounding amount of quality free games to play and enjoy that this thread tries to uncover.

Main info filled in. Also NMS is gonna drown any other Indie this month. Curious how long it will take for me to be able to think about ANYTHING else other than NMS. -__-

1. The Maître D': the puzzle game is using an interesting mechanic (grow and move). It is short but manages to demonstrate the mechanic in smart ways. The only downside is the audio which is a bit rough.
2. Anarcute: a masterpiece in the genre of riot games, with cute visuals and sounds, interesting boss fights, some stealth mechanics as well. This is the first simulation of riots that manages to sustain my interest for a long time. Very refreshing if you fell down.
3. Quadrilateral Cowboy: this is Inception made game: you are playing a video game where the main character is moving around, switching his computer on and writing command lines to control all sorts of gadgets. The game is definitely very innovative. Some downsides: a few bugs here and there, that may force to make a new savefile ; I cannot find mods despite the modding tools.
4. Headlander: the mechanic of switching bodies was promising, but the game does not seem to explore it that much. The art direction is great (a bit flashy though), but the puzzles are switches to activate to open colored doors with combats in-between. The game ends up being more or less a combat game with occasional jokes.
5. Klocki: do not expect too much from this one, it is a nice relaxing puzzle game, but if feels like a mobile game.
6. Ghost of a Tale: I cannot comment on that one too much, because I only have 1 GB VRAM and the game requires 2 GB VRAM. Be aware that if you are in the same case as me, the framerate will be too low to be able to play at all.

• Captain Forever Remix: the atmosphere is right, the mechanic is interesting (you build a ship from scraps and kill ennemies to get more scrap), but it is not my kind of game: the game is super hard, and I am way too bad at games like Besiege, Polybridge, etc.
• Red Trigger: the game is based on a finite-energy mechanic: you have a gun that can switch a limited number of switches at the same time, so you have to make progress in platforming levels by solving a few puzzles here and there. The game is quite short, requires some smart solutions, but definitely feels like a student project (which it is).

I encourage everyone to give Death Road to Canada a shot. Put several hours in and though I haven't made it to Canada yet, I've laughed my ass off and been in some seriously tense scrapes.

It's a bit like Isaac meets Oregon Trail.

...the undead of Death Road To Canada harken back to Romero's living dead. An unstoppable overwhelming force, a shambling wall of gnashing teeth and decaying flesh. There are never enough bullets. A few may fall easily, but your weapons will break long before you kill them all.
===
But those allies and stats are all for naught if you're reckless and don't respect the power of the undead. Sure, when you're raiding a house or supermarket and fighting off a few zombies at a time, you feel powerful. They don't feel very threatening. They even look kind of silly, with their waddling shuffle. But then you're forced into the claustrophobic confines of the sewer, or you're surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of undead, or dozens of them are pouring into a room and there's no other exit, and you realize how dangerous they can be...
...You may have molotovs and pipe bombs, a parody of Rambo, and a strongman who can throw cars with his bare hands at your side, but Death Road To Canada's zombies have numbers on their side, and they will never stop, they will never tire, and they will always overwhelm you. Don't underestimate the dead.

Thanks haha. Any specific section you found too hard? Could take a look at it.

• I was expecting a rhythm-based game and I am super bad at those, while in your game, rhythm is important but there are other clues including visual clues,
• I was also kind of expecting a marble game, which I generally get tired of quickly, but yours is more of a puzzle-platformer.

Wok said:

Well, the time trials are super hard starting with level 1-4, but I guess that is the goal of such challenges, so it is fine in fact.

I just had some troubles with the changes of perspective, but once again, there are few levels using it, plus some hints are given at the end of the level introducing the mechanic anyway, so it is okay.

I also had particular troubles with the levels requiring to jump over numerous gaps or lasers, and ended with more than 100 deaths on a few of them. This was a bit hard for me. I cannot even consider doing the time trials for those. I have noticed for some of them (like the reverse hurdle) that there was a trick to succeed more easily, in which case it is okay. However, for a few of them, I did not find a particular trick and it was a lot of deaths and retries.

Good job with the game, it has good humor and good challenge. I would have overlooked the game if you had not given a key, mostly for two reasons:

• I was expecting a rhythm-based game and I am super bad at those, while in your game, rhythm is important but there are other clues including visual clues,
• I was also kind of expecting a marble game, which I generally get tired of quickly, but yours is more of a puzzle-platformer.

Thanks for the feedback! Yep, the rhythmic jumps require you to stick to the beat and they are quite difficult in the last level, but there's only 6 of them. I thought the jumps in the hiccup level were quite small and forgiving though. Do you remember any particular jumps you found too hard?

Wok said:

Not in particular, it is more about the fact that several jumps have to be done successively in between two checkpoints. There is a place like that:

Code:

        =stuff==
         (gaps)  
C (gap) ====== (gap) C======= ... following of the level
|        (gaps)

where C are checkpoints

anteevy said:

If it's the section I think it is (then that was a really good code description lol), then making the jumps to the top and bottom only gets you extra yellow orbs for completion, so it's completely optional. Also, you could just make the jump to the top and then get back to the last checkpoint to save. No need to do both at the same time.
