Brings back painful memories I'd been so successful at burying. But! That said, my vote for indie game of the year had to be Spelunky. Such a joy to play, I've spent more time on that game than any other indy in recent memory, if not in history. If it does not win... the world is crazy. \

But! That said, my vote for indie game of the year had to be Spelunky. Such a joy to play, I’ve spent more time on that game than any other indy in recent memory, if not in history. If it does not win… the world is crazy.

I think with both games it's more been an issue of what else we were doing and what else was released on the same week. We're definitely going to get them on the next go-round.

I sat down and played it for two hours, not even knowing the time had passed. This game is very addictive and I recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge because it is stupid hard.

Free Indie of the Year? “Spelunky!”, hands down!! For me, there’s no real competition there (though I really like “Star Guard”). I think it may be, along with “La Mulana”, my favourite indie game. Too bad “La Mulana” is being stripped of its MSX roots for the Wii version; it may make sense from a business perspective, to make it accessible to a larger, broader audience, but forsaking its heritage like that feels wrong… Hi there!

It was fine for me when I played it but if you're having a hard time playing Dungeon it's not because you suck, it's because the game is stacked against you. It samples your system to determine which game you get to play, but doesn't tell you it's doing that so that Cactus and Podunkian can hit the message boards and watch people discuss it and laugh. <a href="http://riffly.com/v/FF103858DC7A11DEA132E33E17436622#audio" rel="nofollow">Play Audio Comment</a> Dungeon is a jerk game.
