Guacamelee! Gold Edition
Guacamelee is the sum of Super Metroid and a Mexican-themed brawler. And, yes, it’s as cool as it sounds. So many of the map layouts, secrets, and abilities will remind you of Metroid, which is...

Pid
The world of Pid is beautifully realized while the game itself is not very fun. It’s kind of a slow, sluggish platformer. It wouldn’t be “indie,” though, without some kind of gimmick, and Pid’s attempt...

Tiny Thief
Tiny Thief is absolutely the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s simply adorable. The story is perfectly played through pantomime, and I completely fell in love with the game. The tutorial, which...

Charlie Murder
If I had played this game 1-2 years ago, I think I would have really liked it. But with the beat ‘em up genre seeing such a resurgence lately, Charlie Murder doesn’t stand out as anything special. On...

Beatbuddy: Tale of the Gaurdians
I didn’t fully appreciate the role that music played in Beatbuddy until I took control of the submarine. Then it all made sense. Bouncing along in time to the beat feels so cool and perfectly ties...

Peggle
