Monday Recap

Welcome to my Monday recap of past featured games.  We have our first good news story of the year with a featured game being greenlit and a final push for the Kickstarter campaign for our first featured game Vidar.

Vidar by Dean Razavi
A despairing RPG-Puzzler set in a town on the brink. Random storytelling. Random puzzles. Constant loss.


Current Status - as of 16th February, it is $14,053 towards a final target of $18,000 on Kickstarter.  It needs to reach the target by Friday 27th February.  It is nearly there with 11 days to go - I urge you to check it out, try the demo and back this unique project.




Tiny Robot Justice Squad by Mind Realy
Tiny Robot Justice Squad is a 2D action platformer/arena shooter for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms. It has explosions, big guns, big bosses and quick-paced platform gameplay. The game is being developed by Mind Relay (which is actually just one person!), with all proceeds generated by the game to be donated to the charity GamesAid which helps disabled and disadvantaged young people. Carry on reading to learn more about the game and how it will support good causes!


Current Status - A fun-looking game with proceeds from it being donated to a good cause. Check it out and make sure it gets greenlit.
