Mayhem Intergalactic – or – Stuff blows up in space!

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Our next banner drawing entrant is Inventive Dingo with Mayhem Intergalactic, a turn-based space-themed strategy game.  Your goal is to conquer all the planets before your enemies do by sending ships to attack other planets.  Firstly I’d like to say this is pretty fun, like the other similar planet-conquering indie strategy games out there.  It’s not really hard to learn as you’re basically pointing and clicking to send ships to your own or enemy planets.  You can also upgrade your planets to produce more ships.  If you want to know more, please continue reading.

Awesome Soccer is Awesome

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Well, I just thought that was a cool name, not that I necessarily think it’s awesome, not that I necessarily don’t, not that I necessarily, well, I suppose I used necessarily too much.  It’s called Awesome Soccer by Red27 Studios!  All-in-all it’s a decent soccer game (football for you European folks).  Graphics and sound are well done for an indie game, and it’s fun to play.  However I think this is more for soccer/sports enthusiasts than general game players.  The keyboard control is a little tricky but you can also use a gamepad (I used my wireless xbox360 controller with windows).  Gamepad is a lot better for control.  Check out some video. (I realize this is probably the same video as in the preview but now you don’t have to click the preview).

Announcement: Winners of the Indie Flux Banner Drawing.

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

The winners are in the banner now. Koonsolo with Mystic Mine, glpeas with Carcophony, and Vacuum Flowers with Star Guard! I’ve decided I would leave them up there indefinitely (that means I may change them after a reasonable period, or I may just leave them there).

Because there were so few entrants, I’ve decided to give everyone who entered a review. The link to each review will be in this post, and the post will stay up until the end of January 2010. Please check back soon if you entered to see your review.

Thanks to all who entered.

Update: I’ve decided to extend this until the end of February, since I didn’t get this last one (EUO on the last line) till just today February 6th 2010. So these links will be up another month.
