🏔️🚗 Hill Climbing Mania | Nintendo Switch | Review | *A mountain I couldn’t bring myself to climb* 🏔️🚗 #IndieGames #GameDev

A mobile port to the Switch, Hill Climbing Mania makes no bones about its similarities to Fingersoft’s 2012 title, Hill Climb Racing.

Whilst this is a ‘snack’ genre that I have had a lot of fun with on mobile platforms, InLogic’s title has too many issues for it to be a recommended purchase.

Fury Unleashed oozes good looks and has a comic book vibe that hits the mark in every department as you play each panel of your comic book screen by screen.

⛳️🏌️‍♂️ What The Golf? | Review | Nintendo Switch | "The TRUE Zany Golf" ⛳️🏌️‍♂️ #WhatTheGolf @tribandtweets #IndieGames #GameDev

As a fan of both golf and video games, any time the two collide, I fly into action on a pedal-powered whirligig that uses crossed 9-irons as rotors whilst screaming my battle cry of ‘Tommy Armour III’. I also have a penchant for Warioware-Esque mini-games and so What the Golf? appears to be genetically designed for my gaming palette. Good.

🧩🕰️ Tick Tock: A Tale For Two | Nintendo Switch / iOS | Review | "A Puzzle Game For Two" 🕰️🧩 @OtherTales #GameDev #IndieGames

A puzzle game that requires two players, Tick Tock: A Tale for Two is a pleasant distraction for a couple of hours and a very neat idea that is worth a gander for the puzzle-lovers out there, especially during these locked-down times.

🚛🚚 Convoy | Review | "If George Miller and John Carpenter Met up in the 80’s and Decided to Make a Game" 🚛🚚 @convoy_games #IndieGames #GameDev

If George Miller and John Carpenter met up in the 80’s and decided to make a game, Convoy would be the result!

🧙‍♂️🐸 ⚔️ Operencia Stolen Sun | Review | PS4 | "Dungeon Crawling & Frog Man Bashing!" 🧙‍♂️🐸 ⚔️ @zen_studios #IndieGames #GameDev

Operencia The Stolen Sun almost completely nails the sweet spot between an old school dungeon crawler and an up to date RPG and I think I like it a lot!

🕰️ Mad Experiments: Escape Room | Preview PC | "shaping up to be a great example of the genre" 🕰️ @clemgamedev #GameDev #IndieGames

I’m a big fan of physical Escape Rooms and it seems to be a good fit to the gaming medium, what with it effectively being a series of puzzles.

PlayTogether Studios have seized upon this idea and brought it to life with the resulting game being impressive, challenging and fun.

⚔️♟️ Wartile | Review | PS4 | "Like Sun Tzu, The Art of War is in My Blood" ♟️⚔️ #GameDev #IndieGames

I was really excited about Wartile. I am a huge fan of strategy games like XCOM, Age of Empires, 8-Bit Armies etc. and have been since the 90s (playing Command & Conquer Red Alert over LAN was an experience).

🦜🐦🦉 Fledgling Heroes | Review | Nintendo Switch | "It's Time To Tap & Flap" 🦜🐦🦉 @FledglingHeroes #GameDev #IndieGames #Nindies

Fledgling Heroes is giving me the Flappy Bird vibes but with more feathers and finesse. It has a lovely looking hand-drawn style of graphics and an ultra-tight control system that is easy to learn and hard to master. This is one slick fun video game.

The game does feel very much like a mobile game that has been brought to the switch but that’s no bad thing as the game feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch and gives you a nice zen experience while you flap through this relatively short but fun side-scrolling flapper.

🕹️ I Played That At My Mate's House 🕹️ #Retrogaming #C64 #Commodore64

When I chart back my journey through video games over the years and I think back to my childhood years of playing video games a pivotal moment in video games always took place at a mates house. 

From my first moments of seeing a Spectrum to the point where I realised I needed a PC these moments were all borne from a visit to a friend’s house who had the latest console or the coolest game of the time.

So let’s get into my own personal time machine and head on back to those key moments from when I was growing up and discovering video games for the first time.

🏔️🚛 SnowRunner | Review | PS4 | "Let's Rescue Some Folks On A Mountain Pass!" 🏔️🚛 @PlaySnowRunner #IndieGames #GameDev

Whilst a very niche gaming market, SnowRunner is the follow up to Mudrunner and is a surprisingly in-depth and rewarding experience that comes across as a game with the utmost respect for the challenging industry that it portrays.

Definitely not a game everyone will click with but will resonate with those that do.

⬛️ ⬛️ Crew 167: The Grand Block Odyssey | Review | PC | "Block Kicking Fun!" ⬛️ ⬛️ @oddbreezeGames #GameDev #IndieGame

In Crew 167: The Grand Block Odyssey you play as a character called Crew 167 who finds himself alone on a spaceship hurtling towards a destination called Hope 9. 

The game plays on the fact that Crew 167 is Isolated and his mind begins to create hallucinations to keep him entertained on this lonely journey.

The cinematic cut scenes attempt to dive into the mind of the character as he tries to make sense of the world around him and the gameplay centres on block-pushing puzzles of old.
