Limbo - Indie Game Showcase @Appstore

November 11, 2014 by Laser Dog

Why we love Limbo

When you first lay eyes on Limbo you can't help but be overwhelmed by its absolute beauty. The games visual style has spawned hundreds of monochrome clones but none quite have the impact of Limbo. This is an Indie masterpiece and a wonderful vision of what is achievable by an awesome team, a bit of time and some amazing creative passion! The iOS version is really great, some of the best touch screen control design we've ever come across, almost seamlessly transferring from its bigger console brothers. Depth beyond anything you've ever played, truly brilliant puzzles which are balanced so well you can literally return to them after hours and solve them in minutes, a wonderful thread of story, a magical experience (*starts crying).

Favourite moments

  • The rain machine, oh man!
  • Don't say spider, don't say spider
  • The flies, nooses and crows
  • H OT E L
  • When the big mill your in starts to roll
  • Those little head worms and the things that eat them
  • Your first egg
  • Saws and there amazing sound
  • The crunch when you fall to far
  • That gritty, wonderful visual noise

Limbo is one of the reasons we began making games, a staggering game, you should buy it on every device you own (as we have!).

Bit Pilot - Indie Game Showcase @Appstore

November 11, 2014 by Laser Dog

Why we love Bit Pilot

Bit Pilot is a great example of a really pure space dodge em up (hey, we made one of those!). This one is all about the control, the entire game is based around one of the most beautifully unique touchscreen mechanics we've ever seen. Move your finger in the direction you want your teeni weeni ship to move, wait... there's more, move your other finger in the same way and your ship moves twice as quick in that same direction. This wonderfully simply, intuitive method is absolutely perfect and really makes this game!

Favourite moments

  • Those super intuitive, amazing controls
  • Awesome, retro inspired, chiptuney soundtrack
  • Tiny little 'Akira' style space pills
  • Balance between bigger shield & bigger area of space to occupy
  • Getting 'Mangled' and the red screen of death
  • Beautifully detailed tiny space ship impact graphics and booster
  • Awesome and intuitive method of displaying shield strength
  • The white lines of doom
  • Great start screen style, UI and music (love, love, love the start screen music!)
  • Wonderful resume screen (and its lovely little pip, pip, pip!)

Bit Pilot is superb, ultra pure, perfectly responsive, effortless - buy it!
