Woven is a 3D platform/puzzle/adventure game that recently launched on Kickstarter. As a fan of mascot driven platformers, it drew my attention instantly with its gorgeous art and the unique gameplay mechanic behind it. As the name implies, you have to knit together your own protagonist,…

If you’ve watched History Channel’s Vikings and thought to yourself, I could totally do that, you’re about to get your chance. Crash Wave Games will be releasing a Kickstarter campaign for their new rogue-lite mashup, Iron Tides on September 28th. In the meantime you can…
Café Mildé is an LGBT focused visual novel by Sierra St Onge. The only choice in the demo is to chose between the two leads, giving the game a unique experience. You’ll choose between Cary, the Cafe’s friendly waitress, and Stefan, the surly cook. Each path takes place…
If there’s anything that can build excitement on Kickstarter, it’s the ambitious projects that leave you wondering, “Is this even possible?” Dual Universe, which just launched on Kickstarter, definitely fits into that category. Dual Universe is a sandbox Sci-Fi MMO that aims to support a…
I’m usually fine with seeing a game developer make a small cameo in one of their titles. I’ve actually liked seeing these little “easter eggs” pop up from time to time. However, rarely do I see one actually featuring several as playable characters. With Dawn…
I’ve been a fan of Flash-based adventure games ever since I created a Kongregate account years ago. I’ve played plenty that I’ve really enjoyed, but one that has escaped my notice until now is Arrival in Hell. This short point and click game is little more than…
Ever since it got funded in October 2013 for a little more than $700,000, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has evolved into quite the promising looking platformer. Unfortunately, it seems that WayForward has hit a few bumps close to release. A new Kickstarter update by the developers states that the game would…
Bullet hell shooters are already overwhelming, but Super Mega Best Cat Adventures aims to overload all of your senses right from the campaign page. Described by its creator as a “crazy kaleidoscopic arcade shooter,” Super Mega Best Cat Adventures features chaotically colorful randomly generated levels…
It’s getting harder and harder these days to get an idea off the ground, especially when going through crowdfunding sites. It’s even harder to get press to cover every little game that goes this way. With the exception of the big name projects and specialist…
The latest and long-awaited update for Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders has revealed that the prologue chapter is almost finished. Of course, the same was said in the last update three months previously but it seems to be the case this time. Developers Nupixo…
Megatokyo is an iconic web comic that has spawned several graphic novels and plenty of merchandise. In 2013, co-creator Fred Gallager launched a Kickstarter to transform Megatokyo into a visual novel. The other creator, Rodney Caston, left the project before the Kickstarter began. By the…
[Update – 9/8/16] In a bizarre move, Breakerbox Studios have canceled their Indiegogo campaign and moved it to Kickstarter. The move comes less than a day after we posted this article. The campaign page appears identical, though the original Indiegogo video is now private, replaced…
Advertised as a simple 2D beat ’em up, Furious Jack may have sold itself short on its current Kickstarter campaign. Forgingames is seeking $67,047 to bring their interactive comic to life and just from the art alone it looks like it will be worth every…
A good Kickstarter pitch needs to be able to both show and tell what to expect from the final game. Unfortunately, not all projects get treated with the respect that they deserve. In the case of the Fox & Owl Kickstarter, there’s really not much there to entice…
I’ve come to accept that not every indie game is setting out to raise the narrative bar with their projects. Developers gotta eat too, so sometimes appealing to the lowest common denominator is unavoidable. Then something like The Youthdrainers comes along and I can’t help but…
I don’t like to talk negatively about a project creator, especially one that I’ve come to like. Sadly, Purin Productions second outing leaves much to be desired. White Violin looks like an interesting take on gothic horror, but the pitch is sorely lacking. Outside of a…
