Mosquito & Cow - [Browser]
Mosquit & Cow is a little Point & Click adventure. You play as Mosquito and you objective through the game is to suck Cow’s blood: great friend eh?.
You are helped by some giant worms which hate that poor Cow. The game has a very clever hint system that i know i’ve seen in another game but i’m forgotting now. The way it works is that before the hint you’ve to...

Luftrauser - [Browser]
I like colorful games, but i also like games that limit their color palette to achieve an specific look.
In Luftrauser you control a plane, moving through the skies shooting everything in sight. The objective is just to get a higher score.
The music is very 16-bit which is cool, and the graphics are nice but the animation steals the show, very good and smooth.
The only bad thing about the...

The Priest-king's Spear [Browser]
This game here is a very minimalist clone of Ultima. The objective is to find 16 gold pieces and a key to acces the Island Fortress (whatever it is).
You move and attack with the arrow keys and when you get magic you can use it with the space key.
And interesting twist in a classic, you feel somewhat strange moving that block around, but if you use your imagination, everything can be...

Sheep Hunter [Browser]
In this somewhat strange puzzle you have to capture all the sheep in order to advance to the next level.
You can´t freely move your UFO, it “snaps” to the line and the only way to change directions is to place it in the tile that is locked and choose another way.
Have fun capturing those hairy mammals!.

If you ever wanted to mix Tetris with Contra, here it is something close.
Shoot the squares, specially when they’re in contact with some of its same color.
Cool little game, very nice sound and graphics!.

FRACT Beta [Download]
This is the kind of indie game that you either love or hate. It´s a mix between Rez, Myst and Tron.
I don´t know how to describe it, it´s a beautiful mix of colors and polygons, that you better experience by yourself with some good headphones.

I have to admit i’m not the biggest RTS player, but i enjoyed Warcraft and Starcraft back in the day.
This is a cool little RTS for your browser where you move to the left controlling some troops in the hopes of killing everything on your sight.
In spite of beign kinda basic, it has a nice level of strategy involved, so you better don’t rush into the bulletfest or you’ll get...

This is a very cool and elegant puzzle game. You have to move the nodes of the bars to prevent the lines to touch the borders of the screen. Each color must touch itself, or else, the universe explodes!.

Treasure Cannon [Browser]
Have you ever dreamed off a cross between Lord of the Rings and Peggle?, no?, here it is anyway!.
This game is more streamlined and simple, you just shoot for the coins and them grab them with the mouse, no epic multipliers and magicians hats.
It sadly lacks the glorious Ode to Joy found in Peggle, but it’s a nice game nonetheless.

Draw me if you can [Browser]
Well, this is interesting. This is a game where you have to draw lines in order to touch those Yin Yang symbols.
It gets pretty inventive, so you won´t be drawing just straight lines, you´ll have to be creative, so play this game with your senses open!.

Super Bat Puncher Demo - [Download]
I smile every time i hear about a new homebrew game for the NES, or for any retro console for that matter.
Super Bat Puncher is a platformer inspired by the great classic from the NES, Mega Man, Castlevania and Mario (maybe another one slipped my mind).
The game is pretty cool, it has good controls and a nice feel to it. I wish the environments where a bit more varied, it’s a demo but...

Kid Icarus - NES [Browser]
I don´t know how i´ve missed this game. One of the best platformers of the system and the first one to have vertical scrolling, Kid is a legend!.
I always dreamt of a SNES sequel to this game, but my hopes are high to see a new one for the new Nintendo console.

Sky Pigs
This is a very nice concept for a very simple game. You move your jet packed pig so it doesn’t crash with the scenery. That’s cool and all, but what’s great is that you can see other players playing the game live!.
I wish more games would adopt this, it makes for a much richer and engaging experience, even if the game is basic.
PS: Pigs with jetpacks, that’s awesome.

Zombus reminded me a lot of the first GTA’s.
The game starts with just a bus, but them you get Duke Nukem on top of the roof and you go around shooting and running over zombies!, oh yeah, and rescuing civilians.
I wish the death animations where a little more, well, animated. I liked the fact that i had an arrow to point me in the right direction but not a map, it gives the game a sense...
