Peggle is back, and it really is better than ever. The formula is all the same: shoot your balls and hit the pegs in a great mashup of plinko and strategy. You aim your shots and shoot your balls, gaining points and multipliers for every peg you remove. The goal is to remove all of the orange pegs from your board and get the highest score you can without running out of balls. With very little core gameplay changes, aside from the addition of new “armored pegs”...
As Frogwares and 3AM, developers of Magrunner, edge closer and closer to the eventual release of their madness inducing first-person physics puzzler, they leave little tidbits for us to follow. Being good little Hansels and Gretels, we pick these sweets off the forest floor until the developers are ready to drop horror into our laps. The treats dropped from the developer’s treetops today are new screen for us to salivate over, and they are simply beautiful. Stay sane...
Sometimes, well maybe even more so then not, less is more. When a developer decides to keep their game focused on specific mechanics, it has the potential to polish these mechanics to an incredible shine. The little puzzle game Storm from indiePub is a perfect example of this. Storm bestowed upon me, the control over rain, wind and lightening, in order to move seedlings from tree to fertile soil. The controls were simple enough for a chimp, me, to understand; wind = left...

With many people scrambling around trying to figure out how they can help, indiePub has already made up their mind. When we decided to finally make Storm available, we certainly didn’t foresee it coinciding with a massive, coast crushing hurricane. Our hearts go out to all the victims of the hurricane and, as...
You know the old adage: “Keep your profit margins close, but your mad scientists even closer.” It is disobeying this universal law of science fiction corporate empires which created a mind brilliant and malicious enough to attempt the destruction of everything good which he has brought to the world. A world which hinges on technology to stay convenient and luxurious should never be allowed to become susceptible to.. A Virus. That, dear readers, is exactly what...
Magrunner: Dark Pulse, a Lovecraftian 3D spacial-puzzle game in the vein of Portal has hit 80% funding on GamesPlanet Lab. 3AM Games still have about a month before the end of their funding cycle, so that’s a very positive thing. We are going to see this game come to fruition! Yaaaaay!.. Ahem. In celebration of this milestone, there is a new developer’s update video detailing one of the levels you’ll be seeing in-game and clearing up some issues regarding...
Misfits Attic has been busy preparing for the launch of A Virus Named TOM. First, this game has you playing as a virus. A bit of code hell bent on the destruction of a retro-future Jetson’s-type world. This virus, as you may have guessed, is named TOM. The game plays like a 2D grid-based spacial puzzler and has you avoiding what I can only call antibodies. I assume they are little antivirus bits of code which are out to chomp some malware flesh. You go about and turn...
