Indie Gems

Hi, everyone... How things going on? Been a long time since my last post. Today, I bring 2 news for you all, the good and the bad one. Which one should go first? Guess, the bad one. Alright... here is the bad news, I would like to say sorry for any email request from dear developers. Unfortunately, at my current state, I can't promise if I can make any review of your games especially in a quick period. However, if you want a shout out, feel free to tweet me or send me an email (press kit). I will be happy to forward the email for my friends in Tech In Asia Games and tell the world about your games :) The good news, this blog won't be extinct, of course not... It's been almost 3 years since I create this blog in 2013, dedicated to discover hidden gems on the app store from scratch. I won't abandon this, never. I promise you all. However, due to my occupation, there won't be any regular update for the blog, but for regular update you can check videos on my YouTube ...

You know that I have made a 'compilation' list of upcoming iOS games though it'll be updated regularly, but why don't I make another one from other platform? Well, in this case I only stick around with PC. I love playing indie games and I just found some interesting games when I browse on Steam nor find them accidentally nor from press release (press kit). Alright, to make it brief, here are the list so far. Of course, I'll update this post, once I got more interesting games that appeal in my eyes. We Are the Dwarfes by Whale Rock Games Although in fact from the trailer video below I still have no idea what the gameplay will be looks like, I have a high hope into this one due to that dramatic monster scene. I can admit if almost everything on the trailer looks like a cinematic film, however I wish there'll be some cinematic movement inside this game to add more animation inside :p. One more, I'm also wish the developer will reveal a real in-game b...

Disclaimer: Since the game is episodic, I'll update the review each new episode comes out. The review here based on PC version. Life Is Strange - Episode 1: Chrysalis Review Life is already hard, life is already strange, but it becomes more complicated when suddenly you realized you got a 'gift'. A gift that probably wanted by everyone. Well, at least that was my first thought when I see this game. An eighteen years old girl who has an ability to rewind time. Wow, how cool is that, who doesn't want that :p? I believe if I have that ability, I don't need to study anymore before exam :p. I can fix all of my faults and probably my life won't be like this? Alright, just abandon my crazy opening. Ah, before I write too far, I'm gonna say if I rarely play games on PC (mostly I play on mobile - iOS) and I don't like to play story driven/ point n click game too much. FYI, I just ever played the first episode of The Walking Dead. In addition, I nev...

Okay, I'm kinda busy with all this messes. So sorry no post lately. There're several problems happened on me. My friend made me so worry all in sudden and I can't do anything to help him. My grandma felt so weak after her eyes got the second surgery, she keeps complain everyday. Alright, sorry for the intermezzo. So here my Sunday Playlist, drum roll... PC games... yes.. yes.. I'm moving on from mobile to PC... so #sing: 'So call me, call me, call me..miss moving on.... ooo..ooo..oo.. ' stop it.. I just kidding... No way, I'm loyal enough with my iPad... :p Fly'n This is not a new game, but I just try it out after bought this on STEAM Sale last summer. At first I played this game using keyboard as controller but it's not comfortable enough IMO to play this kind of game on laptop. So I decided to bought a game controller to play this game. Since I can't find any suitable single controller, I grabbed the twin  one instead of the single one. Fl...

Intake is one of the game that declare to be aggressive, at first I might asking myself. Who should become the aggressive one? Us (as players) or the game itself? One more, the game also called itself as a shmup game but I don't think it's suitable, well... at least for the first time playing. Intake is a fast paced arcade 'tap tap' game. Yes, it's more like a tap tap game rather than a shmup game. It can be a shmup game too, but later after you unlocked the special mode. Be Aggressive Fortunately, being a tap tap game isn't a bad thing for Intake game. Actually, it's more enjoyable than a usual rhythm tap tap game. In this game, you must tap all the pills which has the same color with your color power. You can change your color power by tapping color bar in the bottom of the screen. As you can see, there's an indicator on the top of the screen which showing the remaining pills which you should tap in each level. Everytime you tap the right pills, yo...

So, it's revealed.... Mountain Sheep secret project has been revealed. The game called Hardland. It's highly inspired by Zelda, Journey, Diablo, and more. This will be an action adventure game where everything in this game will be unique, from the creation of the world to the behavior of animals, operates by their own set of rules. This makes each play experience unique. Not much info I can explain about this game, but this game definitely gain my highest attention. You can read the 'first' full description about this game here . Ah, I haven't know about on which platform this game will support on, but looks like it'll comes to PC first, since the game will have modding support like in Minecraft. Let's just wish it'll come to iOS too :D Who enjoys minigore game? Me... How about King Hunt? Me.. Yes.. yes.. yes... If you love both of those games, then I have a good news for you. Right now, there's a new top secret project from Mountain Sheep. O...

Ah, I wish it's not too late... >< Every Saturday I have a bit lovely habit :p... Yeah, it's #screenshotSaturday lurking time... LOL Okay this time I have 2 games only for you to try. One is web based game, the other is needed to be installed first. Narcissus Narcissus is a game about coordination and corporation. It's about fast thinking and reaction on two different things at the same time. If you play this alone, you can learn to be focus and concentrate. However, if you play this with your friend I doubt for it right now, except you have a big.. really big arrow keyboard. You will control 2 humans or may be a human with his shadow here at the same time. You will jump and from one platform to another platforms. There're 3 modes so far, easy, medium and hard. It has a simple but pretty pixel graphics also that chiptune soundtrack is perfecto. Think fast, act fast definitely worth to play this game on Sunday :D Ps: It's hard to control people when...

I must admit if I'm pretty sceptic when I saw this game, it has a nice description but the graphic was so so in my mind. Moreover, I read if this game got 93/100 based on voted at Desura. Then, I'm wondering how can? Hmm, now I'm curious enough to buy the game. However, there's other game which intriguing my eyes too, they like to said "Buy me, buy me". Man, the most annoying thing in my life is keep my game budget as tight as possible :') pretty sad since I'm still a student and I don't have too much money to buy every games that I want. Alright enough for the introduction. Several days ago, I just saw the game was free for a week, wow... yeah.. I'm so lucky.. Downloading now... Alright the game has really really simple graphic, but don't let the graphic deceive you, the gameplay isn't as simple as you might think. It might has the simple concept but it execute very decent. Imagine that you become a dancing line, then you should j...

Please Note: This Review was made based on the first version of the game. The actual game might have been changed much now. Regarding the control, the game has better control option now and it's one of my favorite game on 2013. Don't believe my said?  Prove it here ;) Thanks It started with a beautiful opening scene, with a short touching story. You're a deleted/ died video game character but you want to figure out the peace before being deleted forever.  You don't want to be died now, and fortunately you got a second chance to life more longer. You woke up with 6 ram (lives) and 30 foo (money). Then, you will travel with a truck from one town to another town. Once you arrived at a town, you will meet several strangers. Talk to some strangers, some of them will sell an entry for room or they can give you important information. That's why reminds what have you read, and keep your attention because sometimes there's a trap behind the door. There...
