“A minimalistic, super intense action game starring squares for 1 to 4 players. It features a delightful control that allows players to move around the scenario in a super fluid way allowing them to beat all the challenging scenarios that its cooperative mode offers.”

Something a little different today. This is a free short text adventure/interactive fiction that’s about 15 minutes long. It’s got great writing and is probably better experienced without me telling you what it is. Unfortunately it’s kind of hard to show what it is as well, since it’s just text. So to spoil it just a teensy bit if you have any interest in games about mental health, definitely give it a try. If you don’t, it’s still a pretty interesting experience. =)

“A 2D modern-day character-driven RPG that combines elements from visual novels, shooters and dystopian fiction.
“You take the role as a deserter from an unofficial country, located below the surface of the Earth, and must assemble a team of experts from different parts of the world to prevent the imminent war your homeland is trying to start, dealing with language barriers, planning defense strategies, and learning to work as a team.”
The developers are from Chile and are currently running an IndieGoGo campaign in order to fund the development. There’s a demo available which contains the first 45 min of the game, which you can download here.

“A puzzle platformer that features an innovative use of Kinect, in which your silhouette becomes a “portal” between two worlds. You will find yourself solving puzzles by strategically positioning your body, combining physical interaction with traditional platforming. Be precise, be careful, take on a funny pose, but most importantly, be creative with your body! Every level can be solved in multiple ways, with different poses. What sort of creative solutions can you come up with?”
I’ve never posted about a Kinect game as nothing has really intrigued me before, but this seems like a really interesting take on a somewhat tired genre (platformers). If you know anyone with a Kinect maybe direct them to FRU, looks like it’s getting pretty great reviews so far.

“A shmup with roguelite and bullet hell elements. Rapidly switch between over 30 insane base weapons and counting (plus some relatively sane weapons)! Every time you reload, you transform into another ship with a random weapon.”

“A sports game for 2–4 players. Joined at the waist, you and your partner share a single worm-like body as you wrestle your opponent for control of the ball. It’s a bit like a big hug, or playing soccer with your small intestines.”
“With every action affecting both you and your partner (and mandatory shouting) PMPY combines the best parts of co-op multiplayer with the worst parts of your last breakup.”
