It is super good. Buy it buy it buy it.

It is super good. Buy it buy it buy it.
Here are the details:
Manage your team and jiggle your salary cap
Try to outbid other teams in the player market
Simulate games with full AI in a convenient top-down view
Players have mechanical failures! My favourite is serious head disconnection
Lots and lots and lots of stats for individual matches and the entire season
90-team college league, college draft and end-of-season megatournament
I love Cortex’s matches but that’s never enough for me when it comes to sports games. I need to see the other side – the stats and the simulation of the world that contains the sport. If there isn’t enough evidence to convince me that players and teams are active entities outside the moments when I meet them on the pitch/court/arena then I become apathetic rather quickly.
This update doesn’t just rekindle my interest in Frozen Cortex, it’s almost like an entirely new game. And it’s a very good game indeed.

Do you like puzzles, fruit and the notion of crossing a snake with a bird for no good reason? If the answer to at least one of those questions is yes, then Snakebird might be the game for you. Solve your way through this headscratcher of a puzzle game and help the snakebirds sate their hunger.

You take the role of a painter who ventures into the mind of a psychopath in search of inspiration.
Soon it becomes clear that you can't wake from the nightmare you are wound up in.
Your only hope for awakening is to venture deeper into his mind...

Volvox is a puzzle game based on a triangular grid. The characters, called Trimoebas, are triangular unicellular organisms undertaking the building of the first pluricellular beings, traveling through the evolution. The Trimoebas bear functional properties on their sides, such glue, explosive, insulating and hooks, but they are useful only if the Trimoebas are correctly rotated: you will have to move on the right path and make the Trimoebas overstep each other to complete the mission.

Perhaps it's Night in the Woods? Not pixel art, but sounds similar to what you mentionedWhat's the name of this damn upcoming indie I'm thinking of? Saw promo shots a few months ago. I believe it was a pretty successful kickstarter pixel art adventure game w/ a bunch of crazy characters? Not Dropsy. Maybe takes place in a small town where you run errands? That's all I got, sorry.

Nah, damn. Thanks though.

Interesting 2D platformer, but doesnt feel as responsive or mechanically intriguing enough to make me want to continue playing past the demo.
I'm curious to know what the game is. Is it a point-and-click adventure? How recent was the Kickstarter?
Weird. I did the Kickstarter thread last year, and doing the one for 2015, and nothing you're saying is ringing a bell. The closest I'd say is Crossing Souls due to it being an 80's style tone with a group of friends in a small town and pixel art, but you said that's not it.Maybe three months ago? I remember the kickstarter page had a ton of over the top colorful graphics and promo shots. All pixel art. Really well done. Looked like you could just chill and walk around a residential town and walk into a 7/11 to buy a mountain dew. I know, not enough info.

Very, very cool concept, but incredibly hard to judge and/or recommend. This game allows you to build a car, but unlike most building games, doesnt allow you to drag and drop build it, but mostly controls it by menues and sliders, for example choosing the chassis from a list of cars in the class you chose, or changing a million variables of the engine (like air intake, fuel usage, which fuel to use, pressure chamber length etcetc). That is simultaneous a pretty cool thing, because it allows for a lot of depth and fine tuning in the mechanics/simulation aspects, while also making it a bit more educational than fun. Even if you understand how some of the aspects work together, what you'll do most of the time, is figure out which systems interact in certain ways (If I increase A, I cant more of D) and then watch numbers go up that are representing the progress in that level. As an educational tool, this is THE best reprentation of how motors and car design works...ever and I hugely applaud it for it. As a game however, even though it does include a variety of well thought out scenarios, its mechanics dont quite work in an engaging way and quite often lead more to trial and error than actual simulation/puzzle style thinking.
Someone else already took up for Wings of Vi, but just let me add that it quickly becomes mechanically deeper as you progress (you pick up new moves/weapons)
Also, at least play to the first boss before final judgment because the bosses in this game are really something else. Some of the finest platforming bosses I've battled against.

And now I'm also looking for a game that I posted past year, you arrive on a new city and walk around places goes to a cafe and talk to people. I remember it looking really good.
Found a channel a few month ago, had a series that analyzes level design. The video on Wings of Vi is what got me interested in the game:

So Chronoclysm is essentially the Super Time Force of local MP games?
Nope. It wasn't on kickstarter and was not pixel art
Do you remember any other details?

else Heart.Break() ?
That was a pretty cool game. Basically like a full game with the Gods will be watching gameplay. Island with 5 other people and you deciding how to spend the days and see how you can get most people to survive by deciding what to scavenge, which risks to take and even... which party members might be dispensible. I enjoyed playing this a lot, if it gets cheaper at one point you definitely should give this a look. It might seem a bit expensive, but there are a lot of different paths and decisions to try to get more people to survive. Its unlikely you'll make the best decisions on the first try, so there is a good amount of replayability.

Pretty sweet. Cant actually play it with other people atm, but hope this gets a console release. The integrated "stealth" factor of you hiding into a certain color and the possibility to block your opponents views by closing your eyes, while you watch his movement is extremely intriguing. Would love to try that with some others.
Glad you posted that - gave it a quick go when i was short of time and never had a real change to try it - mp mechanics sound really interesting and will have to try to get a game with others!!!!!

Think 'Hello Kitty meets The Exorcist' or 'Dark Souls with bunnies'.
It is a single-player game designed to be played in short bursts, and revolves around finding the ritual elements necessary to banish a single Demon in a four day period. Night is more dangerous than day, as Ghosts wander around the environments draining your life if you end a turn on one of their locations.
During the game, the main Demon 'Stirs' (i.e. kind of tosses and turns in his sleep), which causes a whole heap of unpleasant effects in the world
If you like the idea of interesting local MP games, definitely try out Chronoclysm. I imagine that game to be tons of fun in MP.

I can confirm, it is worth trying for sure. It is kinda hard to play well and competitively, but if you just like odd chaos it is that and lots of it.
Just a tip though, if you play as the knight, don't swing your sword while standing in the spawning area cos you are gonna end up wiping out future versions of your team and generally be a massive nightmare.
Did you manage to play with friends? I assume its tons of stupid fun and laughing
