Indie games aren’t generally known for their incredible graphical content. From time to time, a game such as Zeno Clash or Metal Drift will take advantage of high-end artists and detail their production more than say, Runman, which will choose to use a different style of artwork. Gridrunner Revolution, Llamasoft’s newest addition to the family of psychedelia-laden gaming experiences, combines that strange allure of style and gameplay rather than focusing solely on the visual content.

That’s not to say that the game does not provide aesthetically pleasing visuals. Founder Jeff Minter, who before Revolution worked most recently on Space Invaders Extreme, utilizes what he’s known from the start excellently. The game is very Galaga oriented: you control a space ship and are supposed to blast down enemies and collect sheep. Yes, sheep: the staple of Llamasoft. While Gridrunner Revolution is an excellent update for any fan of the Gridrunner series and a useful purchase for those new to the game, I must also address its downfalls.

Charlie’s Games has announced via presser that its colorful shoot ‘em up sequel Bullet Candy Perfect has been released and is now available for purchase. The title described as a “sharp, super smooth [game with] 3D graphics and a cool techno soundtrack, [with a focus on] honing your skills to perfection as you attempt the perfect run.”

Even better, the decision on how much to pay is almost entirely on the buyer.
