Aquaria is finally coming. A demo will be released along with the full game via download from bit-blot on December 7th. It's $30, yikes, but they promise there will be about 20 hours of content so that's pretty good bang for your buck. The download is a hefty 200MB but they're claiming it's due to all the art in the game. Let's hope everything looks as [...]
(Click me to see the full size version) Heaven 2 Ocean is a sidescrolling (side-tilting?) platformer with light puzzle elements. It's veeeery similar to LocoRoco for the PSP.

The game starts off with a quick tutorial to get you acquainted with all of Trilby's basic moves. Right away you'll notice the game's graphics are blocky and look like an updated [...]
Bud Redhead is a collect-all-the-fruit-you-can sidescroller. The graphics are pleasant and everything is well polished, which is such a relief from the hordes of indie games out there with poor UI, bad controls and even worse gameplay. The only problem with Bud is that it's pretty basic. You just collect trinkets to increase some number that doesn't mean much (that's your score, dude) and there aren't any [...]
