New indie game trailer making waves

August 25th, 2011

The problem with indie games is that there are a lot of crappy undercooked ones. At the same time, there are gems like Minecraft, World of Goo and Osmos. They don't come around often, but we can always hope, right?

The newest one to make a splash at PAX this week is a game called Vessel, slated for PC at some future point. The animation is a bit choppy; I'll admit. Almost cheap even (similar to Trine, one of my favorites.) 

That said, the game sets a dark mood, centers around "an invention that changed the world," and appears to have a bunch of platformer and physics based puzzles. 

Classic indie title. I'm all for it. 

Any other indie titles caught your eye as you wait for Battlefield 3, StarCraft 2.2, etc?

hmmm, looks interesting. Might think about getting it after finding out more about it. I can't think of any indie games I want off the top of my head, but there are always new developers trying to make something new and exciting.

Another game from the PAX 10 that is worth mentioning would be A Flipping Good Time (http://www.aflippinggoodtime.com/). Very fun game with a lot of replay value for those that love to do time trials. Starts out easy enough, but gets more complex as it goes. Also, it's free (and a friend of mine is the artist).

As for the featured game, it does look quite interesting, and I'll be sure to check it out.

Looks pretty neat, kinda like a Loderunner + more complicated Puzzle type game

This and Limbo have both caught my attention...I'm really impressed thus far with how they look I can't wait to play them both.

Does look very cool. Indie games always have such interesting art styles.

looks somewhat interesting, storyline gives it a better appeal that much is for sure.
