GodSpace Galactic 2 (the sequel to 2013s original) is a God simulation/sandbox game, where you use your god-like powers to create your own solar system.

You can mess with asteroids, comets, planets, stars, and even black holes, using your many God powers to push, pull, create orbits, fire nukes, shoot lasers, resize objects, and much more. You can ever create life on planets, watching the lifeforms evolve into space faring civilizations, or just wipe out them out by throwing the planet into a Black hole.

There’s even online multiplayer, allowing you to team up and create a solar system together, or just go to war with each other.

Ultimately GG2 is about choices, you’re given the keys to the solar system and allowed to do whatever you like with it, you are a God after all!

Wings of Saint Nazaire is very pretty, multi-player action-orientated space simulation game inspired by Wing Commander and the X-Wing series.

The ships have a great arcadey feel, similar to X-wing, nimble and agile, making dogfights a delight. This makes Wings of Saint Nazaire easy to pick up and play, but there’s also plenty of depth, with plenty of advanced tactics available thanks to the ships energy management system and a nice selection of weaponry.

One of the best things about the game though, is the graphical style, it uses a mixture of sprite and basic 3D polygon graphics to great effect. Allowing for plenty of ‘wow, that looks f*#%ing awesome’ moments.

With exciting gameplay, tactical depth and beautiful vistas, Wings of Saint Nazaire is shaping up to be an excellent game. Whether you’re blowing things up or just admiring the scenery, you won’t regret getting in the cockpit.

In-Vivo puts you in the shoes of an alien abductee, trying to escape the spaceship of your captors. Unfortunatley, due to the tranquilisers they have you on, you only have 30 seconds to make your escape, before passing out and being taken to your cell.

Things are made slightly easier by the ’dream state’ you enter when you pass out, allowing you to freely roam around the parts of the ship you visited when you were awake. Although unable to fully interact with anything, it gives you the opportunity to plan your escape. What makes the game even more interesting is that there is no single solution to any problem, with various options available to you to help you escape captivity.

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!

Sixside is a nice first person free-running platform game, similar to Mirrors Edge, but with Tron style visuals, and MUCH harder.

Players use a combination of wall jumps and platforming skills to traverse the levels as fast as they can while trying to not plummet to their death (which they will). The difficulty is reminiscent of Super Meat Boy, and similarly to SMB, there’s a great satisfaction to be had from pulling off a perfect run and making it to the end of the levels.

Tr-Zero is essentially F-Zero on Tron bikes, with a nice sense of speed, power-ups, XP, upgrades, multiplayer, and up to 40 racers on-screen.

The Tron bikes feel great to drive, they feel suitably bulky, but are capable of cornering well due to Ridge Racer style, drift mechanics (tap break to drift). The game features X-Box 360 controller support, 6 different game modes, an excellent Tron-style soundtrack, 8 player multiplayer (+ 32 Bots) and more neon than you’d find in Clu’s glow-stick collection.

It’s still early in development, but it’s shaping up nicely, it’s about time we finally got a great Tron game!

Super Mario Eclipse is a great fan made Mario game that doesn’t just re-iterate ideas from previous Mario games, it actually builds on them and throws in some great additions of it’s own. Marios’ movement and controls are spot on (like a mix of SMB2 and SMB3), combined with the nicely realized retro graphics, the game feels like just like a Mario game should.

There are a few interesting additions and tweaks to the normal Mario formula, such as the trippy visuals, side quests and some new puzzle elements. The best additions are the new mario suits though, such as the Chuck (American Football) suit and the Yoshi Suit.

Super Tux Kart is a fun Kart game featuring the mascots of many open source projects.

The game plays remarkably similarly to Mario Kart 64 (which we all know is the the Best Mario Kart), with precise handling, controller support, 4 player multiplayer, 20 inventive and well built courses, wacky power-ups and lots of different characters to choose from.

If you’re into game design, Super Tux Kart is open source, with coders encouraged to experiment with it as they see fit. You can make your own Karts and Tracks in Blender, or even join the Team. If you are a C++ programmer, an artist, translator, musician, or sfx designer you’re encouraged to get involved in the project.

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!!

UPDATE: Catlateral Damage Version v5.0a is now out! The game now features breakable objects, new art, a new room, normal mode, time trial mode and sandbox mode that gives you access to half of the house!

Path of Shadows is a great looking, 3rd person cell shaded stealthy assassin game with supernatural overtones, inspired by Tenchu, Metal Gear Solid, Dishonored and Mark of the Ninja.

You take control of an assassin who has been given a second chance at life by a mysterious goddess. She brings you back from the dead and grants you the ability to manipulate shadows to your advantage, allowing you to do such things as teleport between shadows, hide bodies and use (X-ray) Shadow vision to locate and stalk enemies.

It’s still in the prototype stages, but already the cell shaded graphics look beautiful and the stealth based gameplay is remarkably solid. Like any great stealth game, you’re very fragile if exposed, but when you’re stalking an enemy in the shadows you’re deadly.
