Indie Games

Indie games are video games developed independently, (hence the term "indie") that is, published by the developer. Such games have beautiful art and/or music, if not outstanding gameplay. The developers also tend to be more "in touch" with their players. Come to think of it, every game on this website is indie! :3

So discuss! Have you played any indie games? What are your favorites?

Re: Indie Games

I've played Minecraft. That's Indie. And I've played my own games. Those are Indie. And I've played other Scratcher's games. Those are indie. Yay.

Re: Indie Games

LIMBO, Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP, and Amnesia (Though I don't think it's independent anymore). Maybe some others I don't remember because I didn't like them as much

Re: Indie Games

Little Inferno, Bit.Trip Runner2, and Mutant Mudds are probably my favorites. (I'm really good at finding games almost nobody else on this forum plays  tongue )


If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

Re: Indie Games

Indie Games are overall my favorite ones.

Bastion, Super Meat Boy, Castle Crashers, World of Goo, Little Inferno, Super Hexagon, LIMBO, and Braid are all fantastic games that I would recommend to any gamer.

Oops I forgot Skullgirls, that's good too.

Sometimes I feel the same way. Ever heard of Tales of Symphonia from someone that wasn't me?

Re: Indie Games

Limbo and Infinity Blade.

Limbo is really sad but really engaging at the same time. Never have I seen so many deaths.

Limbo probably has some sort of deep meaning, but I haven't found it yet.

Re: Indie Games

I'd love to hear more about LIMBO, but we don't want to give the little 'uns any ideas, amirite?  wink

Now, who mentioned Octodad? A game about having noodly limbs! Who would've thought? And a commercial sequel is coming as well, subtitled "Deadliest Catch". You guys seen the trailer? LOLs guaranteed.  tongue

LIMBO is about a boy who goes to find his sister. Along the way he gets gruesomely murdered (in some detail) in black and white. It's a 12 and an 18 surprisingly.

Of course! Slenderman is one of the most adorable things in this world.

And I'm not being sarcastic.

I wouldn't say he's "gruesomely" murdered, maybe "comically." I don't think the game is as dark or disturbing as you're trying to make it out to be, plenty of kids TV shows nowadays are more or less at the same level of cartoony violence. I wouldn't have any problems letting my 10 year old sister play it (Though she's also sort of used to watching me play somewhat violent FPSs... I dunno, I'd probably let my 7 year old godsister play it too it really isn't that bad)

Re: Indie Games

There's this game called Ao Oni. Similiar to Yume Nikki, it's an indie (duh) horror game, made by a non-professional. It's really creepy, with challenging puzzles.
I would post the link, but it would give a bunch of people nightmares. At least, I got nightmares. 0__0

Re: Indie Games

Definitely the best Indie game I have ever played was Minecraft. There are other cool Indie games I have played, but I can't just think of their names ATM.

Bastion is great, isn't it?

Also to who ever said LIMBO's deaths were comical.

I don't see cartoons where the characters are impaled by spiders.
