Indie Games Round Up 16th April

Five new games in this round up of Indie Games releases. Eagle eyed visitors may have noticed the new addition on the side column which automatically updates to show the latest six indie releases and updates. Click on the box art to be taken directly to the Marketplace where you can read more information and download the trial etc.

3d Infinity3D Infinity is an on the rails shooter which supports 3D, either with a fancy 3D television or red/blue glasses for the poor people like me 🙂 You control a spacecraft and fly through tunnels avoiding structures and objects and must shoot the waves of enemy craft. It is a fairly good game if you play without any 3D but I had some red/blue glasses and the game is much more fun as debris flies towards you and it does make you flinch etc which was cool. Well worth checking out if you have a 3D television or glasses just for the experience. 3D Infinity costs 400 :MSPoints: which is a little expensive but if you can afford a 3D television then this shouldn’t be a problem 😉 More information can be found on the Marketplace here, a trailer can be found below.

Massage MeMassage Me is a massage software that also allows you to create your own massage sequences. Custom sequences can be created and saved but if you cant be bothered there are plenty of predefined ones to use. Nothing much else to say as I have no use for this type of application. Massage Me costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.

OluOlu is a Rez style on the rails shooter game. If you are a fan of Rez you should check this out as there is a twist that enemies are either analogue or digital and can be killed faster by using your opposite weapon. The game is not as smooth flowing as Rez, but it is still a decent game and the twist is a fresh take on the genre. Olu costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.

Pinky vs BlocksPinky vs Blocks is a part puzzle game, part platform game. I was slightly confused at the start, but after some trial and error I worked it out. The game area is played on a Tetris style playfield with falling blocks, you must guide your character to the exit by navigating the blocks. Some exits are locked and you must complete a line of blocks to unlock it, all the time while keeping your character safe from the falling blocks etc. This is just a quick overview of the game and there is more to it but you should get the general idea. It is an interesting idea for a game and well worth checking out at least. Pinky vs Blocks costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.

Pixel MixPixel Mix is a puzzle game where the player must combine groups of colours to create colour cubes which are required to complete the level. The tutorial does an OK job of explaining the game as there is a lot to take in, maybe a bit too much if you are playing the trial. There are four modes to play which is good to see. The game does look to be decent but as mentioned there was a lot to take in while playing the trial but it does give a good idea of what to expect. Pixel Mix costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.

Titles that have received a software update or price change are Full Contact Racing, Blackjack Strategy King, Asphalt Jungle, Plasma Spheres, Avatar Cannon and Chris Unarmed.
