Good independent games

joe_chicken · 2007-07-17 16:38:53

I've spent most of today playing two great indie games, Echoes A good dual control shooter. (like geometry wars, but I think they prefer the asteroids comparison :)) Chalk A great little game. Would work great with the DS stylus or the Wii remote. So anyone else got any good indie downloadables... (preferabaly free :))

I found this artical a few days ago - http://www.gametunnel.com/articles.php?id=620

I've tried a few and some are quite good, not so free though but most are demo's at the very least.

Thanks for all them...
Gametunnel looks good, any recommendations?

Just looking at that old thread of yours stagolee... I didn't know UFO was abandon ware, I'll be downloading that over the weekend!
(I have Terror from The Deep on Steam, but it crashes my PC)

Hmm... Echoes is a little on the ropey side MooseJam, it exits with a memory exception every now and then for me, but it's well worth it if you can get it going!

Did anyone try Chalk? It takes a few goes to get used to, but again, a great game.
