Platformers October 21, 2008
Posted by Jesse in : Uncategorized , trackbackI haven’t been doing much real game development work lately. I wrote a prototype for a puzzle game, but it was a failure. While I might revisit it someday, it’s certainly not my next game. Instead, I’ve started work on my next platformer. I don’t need to prototype that, because Being was the prototype.
But instead of working, I’ve been playing other platformers.
- Cave Story
- Within a Deep Forest
- An Untitled Story
- Treasure Hunter Man
One of the big success stories for what’s possible as an independent developer. It really is an amazing game, and news of its upcoming WiiWare release made me nostalgic, and I had to play it again.
While Knytt Stories is the game I’ve read more about, WaDF is my favorite of the games from Nifflas. I’ve played all the way through twice. It’s surprising how attached I got to a little ball.
I really enjoy the boss fights in this game. This game makes me giddy with all the exploration you can do. I have to admit that it can get pretty frustrating trying to get through some of the difficult areas. How crazy is it that I went grinding for money so I could furnish an apartment for my little guy?
This is a new one from Bernie, who has a bunch of freeware indie games to his credit. I had alot of fun with this game, and played until I’d collected all of the items and achieved both endings. I feel a need to play his other games now.
All of these games are free to download and play, and I highly recommend them.
