VVVVVV creator Terry Cavanagh's delightfully difficult Super Hexagon launched on Android over the weekend, after hitting iThings and PC last year. If you like rotating geometry while pounding music plays, you'll love this spin 'em up.
If you're prone to the occasional rage quit, it may be sensible to get in a few spare mice or gamepads. VVVVVV creator Terry Cavanagh's delightfully difficult spin 'em up Super Hexagon is whirring onto PC and Mac next week via Steam, sure to test your patience and perhaps provoke a peripheral-tossing or two.
Developer Terry Cavanagh is at it again. And this time, he's made a social multiplayer game starring cats.
With highly-respected titles like VVVVVV, At a Distance, and Don’t Look Back already under his belt, Cavanagh's name is already synonymous with great indie games. His latest release is a free browser-based Flash multiplayer game called ChatChat. It's distinctly unique, on top of being adorable.
The finalists for the 14th annual Independent Games Festival's Main Competition have been announced, highlighting some of the greatest indie games to come out in the past year. Indie game fans might notice a couple of familiar titles like the oft-nominated platforming adventure Fez (by Polytron) and Alexander Bruce's mind-melting first person puzzler, Antichamber. That said, the IGF juries have selected a number of less-exposed titles that are well-deserving of some recognition.
The charming indie platformer VVVVVV will make it to the 3DS just in time for your New Year's Eve party. You can distract yourself from Ryan Seacrest and the Black Eyed Peas with some gravity-swapping puzzles. The game is scheduled for release on the eShop this Thursday, December 29, at a price of $7.99.
Anyone who is in the market for a completely new and refreshing type of co-operative gameplay is in luck today, as indie developer Terry Cavanagh (VVVVVV) has released his title At A Distance. Best of all, it's absolutely free.
One of the best things about this year's IndieCade is the particularly wide assortment of incredibly innovative cooperative experiences. Given that all those in attendance love videogames--or at the very least, have a healthy curiosity--an enthusiastic collaborator is always in within arm's reach.
It's indicative of the natural bonds that can develop when bringing so many talented game-makers together. "There's a really unique community of developers that come from around the world, sharing ideas," IndieCade CEO and founder Stephanie Barish explained. She told me that oftentimes, new development teams manifest as the result of the relationships that form at IndieCade. "It's just very, very exciting to be here and be part of this community," she said, "and to have the opportunity to show your work to each other, and to the broader public."
IndieCade 2011 is officially open to the public today and Sunday. If you live in or near Culver City, Los Angeles, the open-air festival is a great opportunity to not only play some fun and innovative games with friendly, like-minded folks; it's also an opportunity to get a glimpse behind the curtain and talk to the independent developers who created them. There are events and conferences to attend as well, if you wish, but getting your hands on the games themselves won't cost you a cent.
Indie developer Terry Cavanagh's stonking gravity-flipping platformer VVVVVV is coming to Nintendo 3DS as an eShop download, publisher Nicalis has announced. It'll come with shiny 3D support and a smattering of new features and content.
"It's incredibly unforgiving, but immensely rewarding once you get into a good flow. I played it ..."
