Indie (n’ a Jones)

Aquaria

The two-men (and major awesome) team of Bit-Blot have recently released version 1.1.0 of their brilliant underwater metroidish platformer, Aquaria, for the Mac. This is the game’s first Mac release, and so far, the new version (which now offers sexy widescreen) is Mac only. A PC release is said to follow soon.

A Cephalopod!

And here’s an interesting experiment in in-game narrative by Spooky Squid Games. It’s a preview of an upcoming freeware game, titled Night of the Cephalopods. It’s nothing special, and the preview is only about five minutes long, but every action you make is narrated by a surprisingly-decent voice actor, all in a Lovecraftian style of horror.

Also, how about a Flash remake of Jones in the Fast Lane?
