Hungry Hubert is a fast paced action platformer where you have to kill all the enemies by vomiting on them and eat the level so you won’t starve to death. Vomiting on enemies makes your hunger bar increase, so you have to literally chew the scenery to satisfy your hunger.

The game features charming monochrome retro visuals, a nice sense of humour, tricky but precise platforming and big boss battles. Hungry Hubert is great fun to play, it’s a monochrome Super Meat Boy with projectile vomiting, we just wish it was available on gameboy!

Catlateral Damage is a first person mischievous cat simulator, where your objective is to knock as many of your loving owners belongings onto the floor within a 2 minute time limit.
It’s a fun little game, and there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had from knocking things over and making a mess (That’s probably why cats do it in the first place). The dev plans to add more levels (rooms) to destroy, but at the Alpha gives you free reign to destroy your owners bedroom for 2 mins. On your marks… get set… destroy!!

We’d like to thank everyone who has re-blogged this post. You’ve all managed to get Catlateral Damage to the top of the indieDB charts and get it recognised by all the major gaming sites.

If you’d like to see this game on Steam, you can vote for it on Greenlight now!

The dev (Chris Chung) has now put the game on Steam Greenlight and is planning to add more levels, more items to destroy, new gameplay modes (including stealth mode), better graphics, sfx and music, achievements and Occulus Rift support!

Thanks again for all the support, you’re all awesome! :)

Illuminascii is a great new FPS with a wonderful ascii text based visual style that features randomly generated content and roguelike elements. It’s a very silly game, great fun to play, and like any good roguelike, you never know what’s going to happen next. It’s probably best to explain what happened during my first game:

My randomly generated character, ‘Killroy the Gaunt Vegetable Wizard’, was wandering around admiring the scenery (it is an oddly pretty game) when a large blue ‘J’ set upon me, I promptly shot it a few times, and was told ‘you have killed a deformed burrito’. I came across many such monsters, including a ‘ruinous water pistol’, a ‘pompus corpse’ and ‘lumbering hermit’, and completed a few levels, each time with a strange randomly generated cutscene playing. I found another gun, a fruit machine, a vending machine, ammo and food. I was doing rather well, until I got to a wooded area similar to the one above, and was promptly wiped out buy a ‘lecherous motorcycle’ and an ‘aggravated bearded cat’. ’Killroy the Gaunt Vegetable Wizard’ was no more!!

You have to play this game, it’s still in early Alpha, but already in these early development stages, it’s 100% pure, weird random fun.

Ashen Rift is an adventure horror FPS, that pits you and your loving dog ‘Bounder’ against a world full of mutants. Your goal is to shut down the rift that caused the population of your planet to turn into mutants, the rift has been open for 20 years, so expect so see some pretty weird shit on the way!

The game is very atmospheric, with the monologue from your character as he’s talking to Bounder helping to both cement your bond with the animal, and give you a better feel for the world that you’re in. It’s an interesting looking game, and unlike a certain big budget FPS that came out a few months ago, the dog doesn’t feel like a tacked on gimmick, he’s integral to the story and a well needed companion in this desolate world.

Space Farmers is a fun and interesting action/puzzle game with some inventive ideas and great multiplayer co-op play.

You and a friend take control of two farmers who have to fight their way through a spaceship full of angry robots, gadgets and guns.

Each game of Space Farmers lasts around 20 mins, with you and your co-op partner in a dash to escape the alien ship. However each play-through should be different as there are lots of different variations of the sectors of the ship, all requiring a combination of skill and brain power. This can range from rescuing your friend from a gas filled room to a mad dash from a giant spiky roller.

Space Farmers is a fun arcadey action puzzle game that offers great replayability value due to it’s clever level design, you’ll never play the same game twice!

Painters Guild (as seen in Indie Statik) is a management game where you take control of a small guild, commissioning paintings and teaching your student (a young Leonardo Da Vinci), so he can become the great artist we know him as.

It’s a fun, quirky game that’s reminiscent of some of the Kairosoft sim games (Game Dev Story, Hot Springs Story, etc). The pixel art style fits really well with the game too, especially the miniature pixelated versions of some great works of art, like the Last Supper in the pic above.

Painters Guild is still in Alpha, so some features are still missing, but it’s still great fun to play. Features that are planned to be added sound interesting too, and should add a nice bit of depth to the proceedings. These include the ability to hire new artists (procedurally generated and famous ones from history), different art styles, crafting, guild customisation and (gay or straight) relationships and romances.

StarMade is an impressive Minecraft inspired 3D sandbox space shooter that allows you to build and pilot gigantic spaceships and explore the galaxy.

The customisation and ship building aspects of the game are truly impressive, allowing you to build ships and massive space stations using minecraft style building techniques. You’ll then be able to kit out your ship with customised weaponry, shields, salvage and stealth technology. This can all be done in multiplayer too, allowing you to share control and design your ship together.

You can then explore the galaxy and fight enemy ships, using your ships arsenal of missiles, lasers and explosives, or you can board them and take them out from the inside.

Starmade is a wonderful sandbox game that could be described as ‘Minecraft in Space’, but really, it’s much more than that. It’s an great game in it’s own right.
