Lost Constellation - PC, Mac, Linux
vhi8b6.gif

http://finji.itch.io/lost-constellation

Lost Constellation is a Longest Night ghost story. Travel into the frozen woods in a folktale from the world of Night In The Woods.
It was made by Alec Holowka, Scott Benson, and Bethany Hockenberry in the last weeks of 2014.
This is a supplemental game, which is to say it's not a demo or a preview of Night In The Woods. In some ways Lost Constellation is a lot like NITW, but in a lot of ways it's not. It's a tangent, a side-story, a way for us to explore a bit in a more off-the-cuff manner.

The primal gods want to destroy us, they, as eternal monsters have waited eons until deciding, finally, to fill our world with terror. I confess that It is increasingly milder the breath of my sanity.
The only way to escape the terror, madness and death is to fight them. Fortunately, I have discovered that overcoming the trials that make us and getting the pearls that sponges loose retrieve a minimum of our mental health and cast us a slight light in this sea of dementia, allowing us to be sane enough to keep fighting and maybe, just maybe, there would be a possibility of getting hold our world as we have known until this moment…

This looks great. I'll have to share it in the Indie Games thread. Thanks for posting, I hadn't seen it before

Edit: oh, and the dev has an awesome portfolio of free games on his site. I'll need to check them out
http://www.mattmakesgames.com/

Of those that I've played, I'd also absolutely recommend Runman. I didn't want to write up multiple posts just for his games so I stuck to the one that was most impressive to me when I originally played it. But Runman is an incredibly charming game with a really fun playstyle of trying to learn the optimal route for getting through as quickly as possible.

I didnt realize he had made Runman. I remember playing that for hours during my high school years. Runman, N, and Fancy Pants were the platformers I was hooked on back then

And feel free to make posts and share impressions.
 
Re-posting from here.

Open Source Arena Shooter's that are still worth checking out:
Warsow (this is on GOG and Steam for free, it is based on a branch of the Quake II engine. Still receives regular updates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sxSkiC8EEY)
Xonotic ( A fork of Nexuiz, but game-play resembles UT much more closely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Njx204GAQ#t=11 )
Nexuiz Classic (Uses the Dark Places engine, which is a heavily modified Quake engine. There is also a version of Nexuiz released on PSN and XBLA for PS360 that used the CryEngine 3)
Cube 2: Sauerbraten: Awesome team arena/ single player FPS. The game uses its own original engine somewhat reminiscent of Dooms, but with modern features.
Open Arena (based on Quake III engine, but hasn't seen an update since 2012)\
World of Padman Another QIII Arena based shooter.

Cube 2: Sauerbraten is stupid fun. It really captures the feeling of classic arena styled FPS's like Quake 3 and UT99, and it even recreates some maps from UT99 like Facing Worlds.


A few others:

Open source Monkey Ball clone, called Neverball: http://neverball.org/screenshots.php
Rigs of Rods, the original BeamNG physics vehicle soft body simulator: http://www.rigsofrods.com/content/
The Battle for Wesnoth, this one has probably been listed here before. But it is one of the best free open source turn based strategy games out there: http://wesnoth.org/

I definitely recommend Zineth. It's amazing fun, got plenty of hidden secrets and it looks spectacular downsampled from 4k (which also reduces the size of the HUD a bit, making it look better in my opinion). Nitronic Rush is also well worth downloading.

A few of my recommendations, most of them are quite old so some people might have already played them ages ago:

Jelly No Puzzle - Windows/Android
jelly0950_ss0enuru40.png


Deceptively cute and simple looking puzzle game that is in fact brutally hard, but very clever.

Lisa - Windows
lisajtu3o.png


A much simpler and shorter puzzle game, with a nice art style (it's fully 3D but with a fixed camera and huge pixels). There are a few bugs and issues (don't chase a sheep round the back of the shed near the start if you don't want to have to restart the game!) but it's short and good fun.

Merry Gear Solid 1 & 2 - Windows
merrygear453unw.png
merry_gear_2xru43.png


Great 2D stealth games packed with jokes and references to the MGS games, with a Christmas theme (so a bit late, but still worth playing!) If you haven't played the MGS games then you won't get most of it, but if you have then they are excellent (affectionate) parodies.
 
Opoid - PC, Browser
fSmm2az.jpg

http://duneworld.itch.io/opoid

"Opoid’s voids are expansive, colourful, and deadly. It’s a treasure hunt within two-tone levels, strange worlds we enter through doors floating in space. What seems like a pleasant wander ‘em up becomes a bit of an explore-o-DON’T-TOUCH-THAT-IT’LL-KILL-YOU. One level appears to be an homage to Frogger, only with zooming tugboats and assault rifles. It’s surreal to explore and exciting to look at"

You are combing through security footage to find out what has taken place in a hotel. However, the result is not clear. The perceived reality of the footage is blending into your own reality. You find yourself inside and outside the media discovering the tapes in the very place you are watching. Identities are disapearing, context is no longer existing. Nothing is sacred anymore, and you are constantly feeling dread and unawareness.

Oh DUDE Jelly No Puzzle is great. If you hate the super slow ramp up most puzzle games have, you should play Jelly No Puzzle. It's tough from the start and keeps getting tougher.

Also, they released an updated version on Android with more levels, but that version does cost money.
 
Deadbolt - PC
tumblr_nk79636jNt1s1t3oyo1_540.gif

http://hopoo.itch.io/deadbolt

Deadbolt is a side-view action shooter made by the same developers of Risk of Rain. The best comparison that I have heard is a mix between Hotline Miami's twitch shooting and over-the-top gore along with Gunpoint's tactical traversing. You just run around and shoot things
The plan is that the more you play, the better arsenal of weapons you have. While you start with a fully loaded gun, the bullets are never enough to clear the whole building; therefore, you have to scavenge the weapons of other enemies, resulting in an almost puzzle-like gameplay of bouncing between different enemies to get ammo to kill the next.

Chronoclysm - PC, Mac, Linux
