Having great fun with Aban Hawkins & the 1000 SPIKES. Old skool, 8 bit, hardcore, retro, platformer!

It's ace :-)

I've been waiting for this for a long time ...

All we need is something of SSX 3's standard in HD and we'll be fine.

[Felonious Feline]

Although SSX Tricky was the best one

Nice one Matt

OXM's 50 Best Indie Games...

01. Leave Home
Developer: Hermitgames
Price: 80MP (70p)

As shooters go, Leave Home is seriously clever stuff. A fixed-time hi-score chaser at heart, the genius of designer Matt James' homebrew classic is the way it juggles its numerous set-pieces around, depending on your skill level. So while you'll always start your adventure with a headlong speed-run through clouds of twinkling collectables, and end it with a tangy boss encounter against a plastic bullet-spewing monster, in between, you can never be quite sure just what you're going to face off against next.

You can be sure that it will be brilliant to look at, however, thanks to James' dazzling ability to conjure up garish horrors from the simplest of building blocks. You can be sure that it will prove a serious test for your twitch skills, too, with evil level design and a control scheme that allows you to arc your shots back behind your craft as it moves.

As vicious as it is pretty, and as pretty as it is smart, Leave Home is where every sane Indie Games collection should probably start.

Downloaded the demo earlier, will try to give it a go shortly. But THIS was also released today on XBLA and gets to go first:

I'm playing this at the moment and loving it. I'm a sucker for Metroidvania games anyway, but I'm very impressed how they've managed to combine old-school Prince of Persia platforming with bullet hell obstacles. There are loads of influences in here, but good ones. It's definitely a game for people who like exploring, with various hidden areas and collectable stuff to find. Also it looks totally lush.

I've just done the first boss, and now have 4 of the 11 abilities. I'm going to press on for now, but at some point I'll revisit the earlier sections now that I'm able to access more of the areas.

I'll dump it in here but it probably deserves its own thread. Bangai-o HD came out Wednesday and I've been hooked on it since I touched the controller. So awesome!

Looks intriguing





The second video just blows me away. Thats like a retro wet dream to me, everything I could have dreamed of as a little kid playing Park Patrol or something on the C64 and imagining it with real dimensions. Lovely.

[Bod]

Reminds me of Nebulus on the C64.

[ThetaReactor]

I've been waiting foreeeever for Fez. It's like Echochrome and Super Paper Mario and Cave Story all rolled up into a lovely ball of oldschool bliss...

[axel000]

At face value it initially bears some superficial similarities to Nebulus but Fez seems to be much more puzzle orientated, and using different perspectives (not just rotation of the central structure) as a puzzle in itself.

Having said that, I really liked Nebulus back in the day.
