This week on "Best Of Indie Games," we take a look at some of the top independent PC Flash/downloadable titles released over this last week.
The delights in this edition include the sequel to Megadev's
House of Dead Ninjas, a soccer-themed tactical puzzle game, the free Flash version of Tom Sennett's
Deepak Fights Robots, plus a flashy multiplayer bumper car game for both Windows and Xbox Live Indie Games.
Here's some recent highlights from IndieGames.com:
Game Pick: 'Super House of Dead Ninjas' (Megadev, browser)
"As Megadev's follow-up to last year's hit,
Super House of Dead Ninjas is here with more than cosmetic upgrades to its time racing, head rolling, and action platforming."
Game Pick: 'A Tale of Colours' (SavePointJohny, freeware)
"
A Tale of Colours is a cheerful and well-designed offering that successfully follows the traditional genre formula of exploration, platforming and evolving your in-game avatar in order to further explore and platform."
Game Pick: 'Deepak Fights Robots' (Tom Sennett, browser)
"
Deepak Fights Robots is a single-screen arcade-style action game in the vein of
Bubble Bobble. The game has a really satisfying flow that makes it difficult to put down, and the soundtrack is excellent throughout."
Game Pick: 'The Football Playbook' (The Football Playbook Team, commercial indie)
"
The Football Playbook strips soccer down to its bare tactics, making the game playable and enjoyable with just using the mouse. Described as a 'digital collection of tactical puzzles,' each of the 42 levels is a snapshot of a football match."
Game Pick: 'Sticky Bump' (KeeWeed, commercial indie)
"In
Sticky Bump, up to four players compete to gather as many traffic cones as possible in a single-screen arena while avoiding the enemy Bully cars."
Game Pick: 'Cubistry' (The Hohng Company, freeware)
"Similar in premise to the oft-ported computer game Shanghai,
Cubistry presents players with a cube that must be dismantled by matching pairs of identical squares."
