Copy the appropriate content and add the proper information for the black writing. Please only include 1 link and 1 image. I tried making it a bit failsafe, so it should be able to deal with 2 links or images as well, but 1 is safer.

If the game is free, then put "Free" as the price, otherwise please use $ or € for the price. You can also include more than one game per post (like the Screenshot saturday posts), but please stick to the above format for every entry.

If someone posts a non-proper formatted post, I'd appreciate if you could repost the game with the same info in the proper format.

I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.

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.

Sounds like it is one for me to avoid then. I do love the logic and mystery of their other games but TIS-100 was way too far off the deep end with how time consuming it was to make changes to that puzzle engine that I got really bored with it after the puzzles started to get harder.

Well, they made many improvements to the TIS UI (its not a problem to edit code anymore), but the core idea of the puzzles still is pretty similar with some bells and whistles.

 

[B_Signal]

I played a game called The House Abandon this past month. I think it's a very British game, not exclusively, but the nostalgia it builds on is for the old home computers like the Amstrad, C64, spectrum. It's a text based horror game, and it's really good


I also played Mad Father, a japanese horror story game. It's a few years old but it came out on Steam a couple of weeks back. It's quite funny and charming, but also utterly horrible

Early Thoth impressions

This is really great so far. I'd actually compare it to N++ more than another dual stick shooter. Besides the structure of the campaign (blocks of four levels), mastering the mechanics is everything much like N. You can't dodge and weave and shoot mindlessly like other shooters. You move faster when you're not shooting, and killing enemies can change the level layout, so deciding when to shoot, where you shoot from, and which enemy you shoot at, is all crucial.

 

[epmode]

I picked it up too. I really like the minimalist aesthetic and the way the game quickly teaches new mechanics without a single bit of text.

the first time you kill one of those circle enemies is a huge "oh shit" moment

How far are you?

Hm. If each selection on the level select screen is 4 levels, I'm on level 53.

The thing that kills me the most: When the enemies I've already shot ricochet off the wall behind me. It happens faster than I expect!
