Gravity Bone is a great, beautiful free first-person adventure game. It’s made by the same people who made Atom Zombie Smasher, Blendo Games. The game doesn’t have anything to do with gravity or bones, and it never bothers to tell you about anything in it. Without running into even a menu, you are immediately thrown into a fancy party where the guests are celebrating something, and you will never know what. Even though it doesn’t tell you anything about your character, your surroundings or why you need to do what you are requested to do, it still manages to capture your focus instantly. I shouldn’t say anything about this game, because it would ruin the experience of discovering the carefully-designed world of Gravity Bone by yourself. Visual presentation and effects play a great role in creating the game’s unique atmosphere, and you’d be surprised to know the graphics engine powering this game is nothing else than the old Quake engine. The game is rather short, and it only has two levels, but it’s also small - only 24.1MB in size. You should download it now and experience it yourself. But, if you insist on getting more information about the game, here is the developer’s (strange) description: To make it in Nuevos Aires, one needs nerves of silk and the filthiest of hands. Mix together a batch of espionage, some high- speed car chases, fire-spewing assassins, and you’ve got one oven that’ll never bake cookies again. We provide the pliers and you bring the moxie.

The first game featured on Rated I For Indie is Faultline. Faultline is a unique, creative puzzle platformer from independent game studio Nitrome based in London, UK. In the game, you have to reach the end point of each level, while overcoming gaps, lasers and more obstacles with the use of “folding” an area of the level, making faraway platforms a step away or removing walls out of existence. The complex-yet-simple (it gets harder later) idea of folding space to solve puzzles kind-of reminds me of Portal.

For example, in the first level you come across this obstacle: a wall is in your way. But, notice the two markers at the bottom edge of each wall - those are specialised markers that you can drag to other markers in order to fold the space between them. So in this case, if you drag one of the markers to the other, the wall is no longer in your way. You can see the whole process in the screenshots above.

The game’s design uses quality pixel art heavily and it is equipped with a library of retro-resembling sound effects. It is a shining gem in the sea of free Flash games. I highly recommend it.

The game is available for free on Kongregate and on the developer’s website.

Hello World!

Hello, and welcome to Rated I For Indie. This Tumblog will feature various indie games, free and paid, that I (and you!) find around the web. The idea for this blog originated from my love for independent games and their uniqueness.

Quite often, indie games are based on exceptional, standard-breaking ideas you don’t run into on a daily basis. Their stories are refreshingly different and fun, their gameplay concepts are new and exciting and their visuals are unique and tailored to the game’s ideas in one way or another. This is why I love indie games. And that is why I’ve decided to start Rated I For Indie.

Regularly, I will share great indie games from around the web with links to play them or to purchase them, along with a bite-sized review. If you come across an independent game you believe is unique, revolutionary or just plain fun, feel free to submit it through the “Submit Indie Games” link on the top bar. If you have any questions about any game or the blog in general, click the “Ask me anything” link on the top bar.

Thanks for visiting the blog and I hope you subscribe!
