YouTube features a brilliant video with playbacks of ten very good indie games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0esFPMoQqU

The show includes a remake of Street of Rage, several Mario-like platform games, two games for the Atari 2600, and a lot more. Highly interesting! A good role model for your own games.

Minesweeper 2024

This year's Evoke party has brought us several new games, including a 4k remake of Minesweeper. You probably know Minesweeper, it is all about finding blocks on the screen where no bomb is placed. If you hit a bomb you lose. The objective is to clear the screen. This implementation is for Windows and the executable is only 4096 bytes, although it contains good music (even if it is very simple) and decent graphics. A true masterpiece!

Sonic Galactic

In July 2024 I reported about a Sonic fangame called Sonic 2 HD. Now there is also another project, Sonic Galactic. The second demo is now available for download. The gameplay is exactly as in the original Sonic games. The bonus stages are in 3D and different from the Mega Drive games. The original intention of this project was to show how a classic Sonic title would look on a 32-bit platform. For more information visit: https://sonicgalactic.github.io/

Chessman

Last year Kim Hollesen released his game Chessman. As the name suggests it is a mix of chess and Pac Man. You control characters that also appear in chess and behave in the same manner. In each step you have to eat a pill and in addition, you must ensure that either the character you moved is threatened or that it threatens another character. A level is usually completed when you manage to capture the king of the enemy party.   Chessman requires quite a lot of brainpower. The game soon becomes very difficult and you have to plan strategically. The game can be both downloaded and played online in the browser. Check it out at: https://kimhollesen.itch.io/chessman
