• Onwards and Upwards with Comic Jumper [PAX]

    Twisted Pixel is something of an indie success story – and that might be putting it mildly. While there are around twenty employees now, with more being considered as I type, the company was originally started with just a few. The team jumped up to six or seven folks for The Maw’s development and moved [...]

  • Yeyifications!… Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale [Review]

    Next time you’re off galavanting around a massive RPG world, slaying monsters and fulfilling your destiny, spare a thought for the shopkeeper in the last town who sold you all your gear. Without them, you’d be a nobody – you’d have no sword, no armor, no healing products. Confined to a live of standing behind [...]

  • Buckets of Blood Means Nothing in The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile [PAX]

    While roaming around the halls of PAX10, we were lucky enough to stumble upon Ska Studios, the guys who made both the original Dishwasher and I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1. And, since we’re super best friends with them, we were able to sit down with both James (the founder) and the their new game [...]

  • Bursting with Innuendo: Fowl Space [PAX]

    Pixelante Games, the Vancouver-based group of independent developers, want to make you laugh at all the dick jokes in their new game Fowl Space, or at least it shows that they cracked themselves up while creating the title. And I think there’s something to be said for developers who enjoyeds creating the product they release, [...]

  • Creating a World in Bastion [PAX]

    I covered Bastion a small bit a few days ago in our run up to PAX. Back then I knew little about just what the game was and what it was going to offer beyond some small details given by developers Supergiant Games. Luckily for you (and me) I’ve just returned from my first play [...]

    • Weekend Freeplay! Spelunky

    November 8, 2009

    by Geoff Gibson


    SpelunkyDeveloped by Mossmouth, Spelunky is a fun adventure platformer that puts you into the shoes of an Indiana Jones-like character in your search for treasure and, of course, damsels-in-distress. In your quest for treasure you’ll have to battle monsters, traps, falls, and even the shopkeep if you don’t watch what your doing. The entire purpose of the game is to get out of your level with the most amount of gold as possible. Oh, and while this may sound easy, it’s actually made very challenging. Especially since the level design will always be different every time you start up a new game.

    Anyways, it’s actually one of the better free-play games I’ve ever experienced. So, for anybody looking for something new, free and seriously fun you should definitely check out Spelunky.
