this feels like a good thread to ask in. i kind of feel like taking a break from my bigass rpgs and yakuza to shred through a short indie game real fast, anyome got any recs? i already beat outer wilds and cant be easily trolled

if you like puzzle platformers, i beat Deadcore the other day and it was pretty good. got a bit disorienting in a few parts for me, but i'd say it's worth the sale price it's at rn, and you can absolutely beat it in a handful of hours.

Chicory or Supraland, depending on what you're in the mood for.

that kid had good taste. probably the best game on the snes, nothing else comes close. he’s probably topping the speedrun.com leaderboards.

he was dead weight. he just slammed the special attack button in a random direction repeatedly and at the end of every 2-3 levels we had to use the konami code just to bring him back to life.

i liked obduction. i know cyan isn't exactly indie but it was a kickstarter, lol. it's a really quick game, but you can sit and take your time with it and just sort of explore all the corners. sip some tea, take your own epic gamer notes, etc. i absolutely love the Myst games, though, so you gotta take my rec with a little grain of salt

Lmfao it was just called Spider: The Video Game


The kids' magazine Zillions had a "here's how video games are made" article and this was the in-development game they featured and interviewed the developer about.

It's definitely worth playing but I had this feeling through it of missed potential where it could have been one of the Indie Treasure greats of all time and never quite nailed it. Hard to put my finger on what was missing

I do agree, it's like a 90% game when it looks like it should be 110. The biggest issues are probably that the story is too overwrought for both the type of game it is and how it looks, creating a weird atmosphere mismatch, and the difficulty never quite lands - either it's too easy to tank everything, or it's confusingly hard because you can't see poo poo from all the particles


Now Hollow Knight, that's a 112% game
