In Kickstarter Game of the Week, we take a look at some of the finest cheeses being made by Wisconsin dairy farms. Those include (but are not limited to) Swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, Limburger, and Gorgonzola much to Wallace’s delight. In this first episode, we’re doing…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or you don’t follow Kickstarter games or you’re not a fan of old Rare games), you’ve probably seen the newest trailer that has the internet abuzz. That trailer is for Yooka-Laylee, which has been on a bit of…

The Friday the 13th videogame is living up to its legacy, not by stabbing people in the face with a fish, but instead by infecting curious internet-goers’ computers with bloody murder. Mostly malware though. Actually entirely malware. And it’s not officially Friday the 13th or…

Lobodestroyo – which I must admit I have taken a keen interest in – has returned to Kickstarter. After a lengthy absence, a CAT episode here at Cliqist, and an interview with project lead James Guy, Lobodestroyo is finally back with an update on Kickstarter….

E3 is just around the corner, and don’t for one second assume the world’s second largest gaming trade show is just for the big boys. Indeed, the little-indies-that-could get a seat at the table as well, and one of them is the Kickstarted Bloodstained: Ritual…

Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a cute, kiddy puzzle game centered on a boy on his birthday. Appropriately enough, the title is a lie. Monsters didn’t eat his birthday cake so much as they stole slices of it and hid those slices all over…

After releasing an ill-advised trailer last week for Mighty No. 9, developer Comcept and publisher Deep Silver have released another trailer for the game. This one claims to be more honest and open with its intention and act as a sort of apology for the…

Welcome, one and all, to the debut episode of our latest series: Kicked! It’s totally not just Crowdfunding Analysis Time with a new name. It’s got a new logo, plastered in the bottom right corner of the whole video that I’m really regretting now, actually….

There Came an Echo was (and still is) a unique game, even by our wonderful crowdfunding indie game standards. On its surface, it looks like a fairly standard tactical RPG, possibly even an XCOMM rip-off. But what makes it stand out above others is that…

Every so often here at Cliqist, we like to produce some Top 10 articles and videos. I’d make a joke about how we do it because they’re popular, but seeing as how I do that in every accompanying article I write for these videos, people…

In a recent episode of our award-winning* Crowdfunding Analysis Time series, we took a look at a seemingly forgotten 3D platformer called Lobodestroyo. Raising $43,832 by the end of the campaign in 2013, James Guy and his team at Left-Handed Games set to work on…

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is our latest episode of CAT, and one of the harder ones to write. That’s not because HGH’s Kickstarter campaign was particularly bad, or particularly brilliant either. There’s just not much to say about the campaign, good or bad. I only chose…

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. After being in development for a decade, and being public since 2008, Edge of Twilight is back on Indiegogo! For those of you who aren’t aware – and no one can blame you since this…

Please don’t hate me for this video. I made my points clear, right? I made a pretty good case, right? I even put on the mask and wig like you asked! What more do you want from me? Today’s video takes a look at nostalgia…

Fun fact: this episode of CAT was originally 30 minutes long. You’re welcome. The Ouya is one of the most interesting things to happen in gaming, let alone Kickstarter or crowdfunding. If someone were to tell you an indie game focused console would hit the…
