Alpha Beta Gamer

Dev guy is a funny, and interesting game that puts you in the role of an Indie dev called Warren, who’s trying to get his game on the app store before his game licence expires. Unfortunatley someone steals his car, which he’d left his game code in. To get the car back, you’ll have to solve puzzles, hack computers and play some very tongue-in-cheek minigames.

Dev guy is a great little game, with lots of fun in-jokes about the indie game scene and a main character with a lot of personality. Dev Guy won’t teach you how to make Indie gamea, but it WILL make you smile.

Interplanetary is a turn-based strategy artillery game set in space, where players wage wars by developing their home planets and firing their interplanetary barrages through the planetary system.

You’ll build your planets infrastructure, gather resources, research technologies, spy on enemies and build weapons as in other strategy games.

The big difference comes in the turn-based combat mechanics. All the weapons in game are artillery (railguns, missile & beam), which are aimed and fired from your home planets and can be affected by gravitational pulls of planets and suns. It’s a great mechanic, that is underused in modern video games, and can allow for some deeply strategic and satisfying gameplay.

Oozengard is a survival adventure game with a wonderful retro art style and a great sense of humour that’s currently on Steam Greenlight.

The story revolves around the invsasion of your city by some mysterious ooze, that starts to consume any living creature in its path, turning it into a clone which only lives to haunt the living. To survive against the invading ooze, you’ll fight ooze infected enemies, explore the city, scavenge items & weapons, save citizens, create a safehouse, discover secrets and escape the city.

It’s a whole lot of fun to play, and plays a bit like a 2D DayZ in a retro 16Bit version of Springfield.

Mad Dan is a humorous Tower Defence game with a nice looking 3D, cartoony art style coming to iOS.

Your character (Mad Dan) has the ability to control objects with his mind and use power-ups to stop the nicely animated blocky hordes from reaching their goal.

With solid gameplay mechanics, well animated and fun cut-scenes, and a unique visual style, Made Dan is a great new take on the Tower Defence genre.

Velvet Sundown is an intriguing new multiplayer game from Tribe Studios that sees 4 people having to carry out individual quests through interactions with NPCs and the other players.

The devs claim that each 40 min game will be unique, with the players creating the experience. With its interesting multiplayer interactions, international playboys, high heels, luxury yachts and beautiful sunsets, it’s worth making reservations aboard Velvet Sundown.

Pixel Piracy is a side-scrolling 2d, RTS sandbox roguelike pirate simulation game that’s currently on Steam Greenlight. The player must sail their ship over a number of procedurally generated sea zones, battling pirates and other hostile forces, recruiting and disciplining crew members, and upgrading their ship. Combat takes place in pausable real time, and if the ship is destroyed or the crew lost, the game ends, requiring the player to restart.

It’s a great game, with a beautifully animated pixel art style and a nice sense of humor. It’s a whole lot of fun attacking enemy ships with projectiles, then boarding and looting them. Forget Assassins Creed 4, Pixel Piracy is where the real gold is.

Kromaia is a fast paced 3D Arcade shooter that which takes action, speed, agility and immersion to a new level. Insane enemy patterns, impressive swarms, giant god-like guardians, ancient temples, contraptions, treasures, visual ecstasy… All in a vast and unexplored universe only ruled by physic laws.

The game is a joy to play, with fast paced, twitch gameplay thats enhanced by the rapid manuverability of your ship. The world that you explore is visually stunning, with their neon, grid based almost TRON-like style. If REZ was taken off it’s rails, given another shot of adrenaline, and mixed with a pinch of and Geomety Wars, it would be this game. Highly recomended.
