The game gets extremely inventive at times, such as lots of different types of goo balls (green can be detached, red balloons, yellow sticky goo, translucent goo that can only connect to one other goo, etc.).

The tricky part is figuring out how to balance your goo balls right to get there, going past traps and solving puzzles. The goal of every level is to get a certain number of goo balls to the exit, a pipe (as shown in the picture). Fans of the game make their own levels using custom modding tools some are even making an unofficial sequel!īasically, the game’s a puzzle game where you drag and drop balls of goo to make a structure. Notable is this game being present in a few “pay what you want” sales the first was on it’s birthday, the second was in the “Humble Indie Bundle”, an awesome collection of indie games, and the third was as a bonus game in the “Humble Indie Bundle 2”, which was even better than the first.
The game’s available for PC, Mac, Linux (yay!), WiiWare, and the iPad. Gooz!World of Goo is a very popular indie game made by Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel in 2008 using only $10,000 of spare cash as a budget that went on to sell millions. While it’s extremely hard, it’s fun for those very reasons.

The game’s noteworthy for it’s rather steep learning-curve (I still haven’t gotten the hang of it fully and I’ve played for months!), including a confusing-yet-efficient control scheme, randomly generated levels, permanent death (die once and you start the whole game over), and a tons and tons and tons of information not included in the manual that you’re supposed to figure out on your own. I’ve never gotten very far to be honest, but it was still fun to play. You can pick your race, role, gender, alignment, or allow the game to select them for you so you can create a unique playing experience. The goal of the game in general is to go as far as you can into a 50-ish-floor, randomly generated dungeon to get the Amulet of Yendor.

It’s been ported to lots of different operating systems, including the Nintendo DS (which I have yay homebrew!), Sony PSP, Windows Mobile, Android, iPhone, and many others (not to forget UNIX-like OSes and Windows, of course). Look at those graphics!Ahh, NetHack! What game says you’re geeky more than this one? NetHack is a “Rogue-like” RPG originally made to be played in text-only mode (as shown), but there are several versions with better graphics. This makes the game less of an “evade and shoot” game, and more of a “carefully plan your positioning for maximum points” game. For example, one of the many ways you get points is by “grazing” bullets that means that you go really close to them without them touching you. First, it’s EXTREMELY FUN! I used to play this all the time, just because I’ve never played anything like it before.
Of all of the indie games I’ve played, this one is definitely a favorite for so many reasons. The trick is to memorize them and figure out ways to get the highest score you can. Sometimes the enemies fire slow, sometimes fast, sometimes in pretty and hard-to-dodge patterns, and sometimes semi-randomly. You, that tiny thing at the bottom of the picture, have to evade any and all things shot at you while you fire back.
#AWESOME INDIE GAMES FOR MAC SERIES#
Each game in the series has slightly different rules for example, Touhou 7, pictured above, has a temporary shield you can activate by getting enough “Cherry Points”. Currently there’s about 18 in the series, with the first five being released for the PC-98, and the other 13 being for Microsoft Windows (eww… Thank God that they work in Wine!). Basically, Touhou games (made by an individual identified as ZUN) are “bullet hell”, top-down shooters. THIS GAME RULES!!!This is one of those games that, when you see it the first time, you wonder if the people who play it need some sunlight.
