Ragdoll Cannon
Hand drawn stuff is great, with games like Crayon physics and lots of websites now getting this look there is just something fun about it.
Now this game bases its self in a blueprint style world, where you have to "help" your little rag doll people to their goal of a small marked target. The int ...
Post-it shooter – a new kind of office wars?
We have arcade shooters, and we have stationary. What if these two concepts were to merge into one? Well you would have Post-it shooter!
This game I feel is just brilliant - animated-style post-it note space invaders. Not only that but the making of time lapse is also included below!
You ca ...
Kung Fu too!
Well its Kung Fu 2 actually, but hey. Anyway its a beat'em up! Kung Fu first appeared on the NES way back in 1984, but a team of indie dudes could not let it pass away, so they made Kung Fu 2!
Most important of all - it has all the right noises!
Get it from there website: Kung Fu 2 Download ...
Osmos – Grow Your Sphere
Osmos is another strange indie game with an obviously play on the word Osmosis... The idea is to grow as big as possible by absorbing the motes around you, moving makes you smaller but you have to balance moving with growing - like I said strange... Satisfying though!
I'm sure the video will hel ...
Tribes Next
Tribes 2 was my first online gaming experience. With smoke pouring from my overused 56k modem I played with pings of over 400ms (which in gamer-land is suicide when trying to shoot someone) and loved every second. Then Tribes Vengeance came out, and Tribes 2 support slowed until it was completel ...
Talking Trash
Trash is another wonderful indie game, it started life in 2000 by a small team of developers who have seen a lot of praise for them. Although the graphics are a little dated, as they admit - and they do want to overhaul them, the game is smooth and fast.
One of the interesting things about Tras ...
And Thrust! hmmm that sounds wrong…
It’s not a command, it’s a game! Yes another game from Rob, but you know I am a gamer and I like to push these things - hopefully you guys like them too!
Thrust is a game where you are the spaceship affected by gravity, you have to use your thruster’s skills to defy sa ...
Multiwinia
This is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game that was born out of Darwinia. Darwinia was a single player indie game with the plot that you were inside a guys computer helping rid a virus that had attacked his experiment. The Darwinians, although square and flat, are surprisingly cute, and you have to g ...
Tower of Goo
Tower of Goo is the game the birthed World of Goo. If you have no idea what I have just said, its a game where you have to get your "goo's" across the map and save them. World of Goo was released a few months ago on PC and through the Wii Arcade - you can get a great demo though if you want to che ...
Crayon Physics – baby science?
The most relaxing soundtrack in a game ever - that's the first thing that has to be said about Crayon Physics. It is an indie game, but because its so awesome they have actually started to sell it. That being said there is an awesome free demo available for download.
You can play this game with ...
Dismount, its a nice way of saying “cause pain to”…
Dismount has almost become a series, there are 2 versions of the game. In a nutshell you have a "ragdoll" physics dude that you basically push down the stairs/hit with a truck and see how much damage you can rack up. Sounds sick eh? Well actually once you start playing its almost as if you forget ...
N – The Way of the Ninja!
If you never knew which way is the way of the Ninja, and you couldn't find it on a map - its N! Its a platform game, but its best you play it to understand...
This is a great little game, originally built in flash but now due to it success is now available on Xbox 360 Arcade! Its great to see i ...
OLED Mobile – No not a new iPhone…
There were huge rumours which spread around before the announcement of the iPhone 3GS, one of which was that it had an OLED screen. Now we know this not to be true, but it would have been great. OLED is still expensive, but it is definitely where we are headed.
For those who don't know yet OLED ...
BattleForge – EA’s Beautiful Card based RTS.
Yes its out, and in true bitrebels fashion, it meets a important requirement: you can play it for free! You can download a free version, which is extremely detailed, and play online and experience the true uniqueness of this game. I have to say it is awesome too.
I do like RTS games, although ...
Death Worm!
I'm sure they are two words you would never have expected to hear in the same sentence, well unless you had caught some tropical disease, and then they might not be the best phrase the doctor could have used.
Death Worm is actually something that's a lot of fun, if not a little crazy. You are ba ...
