Skyhill - a challenging little game of luck and gamble

You're a hotshot who just had a business in the city and are now looking for a place to wind up at. The planet is having a rough time at the moment, and word has it that the next world war is very likely at your frontdoor. But you're lucky enough to get yourself into an expensive suite at the top floor of one prestigious hotel, when out of nowhere, the city is hit by a bio-weapon and the impact turns everyone who's unlucky enough to be unprotected into mutants. Your wife is somewhere in the city, and what stands between you and her are 99 floors full of mutants and lunatics lurking in almost every corner.

Indie Game of the Month: Homesick

It's been a while since the last Indie Game of the Month post. This time we'll take a very brief look at Homesick, a small indie game. This is a very interesting little game and also it's free to download. I've put the download link at the end of this post, but first, let's talk a bit about what the game is about.

Haunt the House - Meant to be Played With

For the record, I'm not sure as to why they chose to name this game Haunt the House: Terrortown. One, the title just doesn't sound right. For a game that is both cartoony and colourful, the title isn't complementary to those characteristics at all. Secondly, you won't actually be haunting houses, you're just stopping by to create havoc, and once the entire house is vacated, you move to another and do what you did there (in the previous house), here in the new house. OK, I'll stop complaining.

Indie Game of the Month: Bastion

Finally I'm done with Bastion. I started playing it last year, then I left it alone and unfinished for a few months. I forgot why, but then I remembered I had an unfinished game, I thought I'd better start from scratch instead of picking off from where I left. Bastion is one of the most innovative indie titles in recent years. On the surface, it appears to be pretty much like any dungeon crawler. Except the settings are floating grounds. And you don't have to refer to a map from the time to time. Why? Because the world forms under your feet!

Indie Game of the Month: Barely Floating

So I guess posting an indie game weekly didn't work out since I don't really have the time to sit down and play, then write a post for it. So from this entry onward this section is called Indie Game of the Month instead, haha.

Indie Game of the Week: The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac

It has been more than a week, in fact, nearly a month since the first Indie Game of the Week entry. It seems more appropriate to rename the section to "Indie Game of the Month" instead.

Indie Game of the Week: Total Fucking Psychopath

Everything about this retro arcade style freeware game is pretty simple. You play as a maniac who believes everybody is turning into maggots (something like that) and you’re out to stop the madness. As dead bodies begin to pile up on the streets, the cops begin to show up. The more people you kill, the more of cops will arrive in their attempt to arrest -just kidding- shoot you down. Also, you must continuously kill people so that your psychosis meter won’t reach zero, because that means game over. Sounds fun, huh? It is.
