Killer story. But it's 400. Been playing Herman all weekend and it is the best XBLIG game I have ever played. Killer story. But it’s 400.

So I'd rather see original game ideas. I think there are still a lot of opportunities left in 2D physics that are unexplored, or at least not overexplored. What I'd like to see more in the Indie Games is episodic gaming. I don't have too much time for playing games. So instead of an endless game full of content, I'd rather like a tightly designed adventure or platformer episode that lasts from 30-60 minutes with a good story. I'd pay 80-240 points for these if they were good. Clones are pretty much worthless to me as I can just play the original game instead, which is probably better anyway.

But in general, everything with a clever idea is fine. Personally, I’m always in for tower defense or physics engine related games. But in general, everything with a clever idea is fine.

I reallt have been fond of stuff like Aesop's Garden and things of the like, but it seems that anymore most people are just throwing a few lines of code together then calling it a game. I'll be the first to say that while I commend those doing indie games, all I ask is that it actually fun and not full of bugs. There are some indie games that I aam surprised made it into becoming an indie game... I really have seen a lack of NES styled games coming from the Indie Games sector.
