Devs Like Waffles


   

A falling block puzzle game about waffles. Winner of the 2015 Random Collaboration Contest.
More like Dr. Mario than tetris but with some mechanics of it's very own. At it's heart, it is a waffle making game. You have to contend with waffle eating game devs, while trying to score. Overall, it's a great little game that I had a ton of fun playing.
My fiance thinks there needs to be different difficulty levels that control the number of DEVs on the screen.

Star Guard

  Star Guard may have old school graphics but it's gameplay is rich and it's story telling method is awesome. Like some other indie games your previous lives don't just go away, they happened. In this game it was just another guy that died and you are now in control of the person that was behind you. The games simple graphics, simple controls and awesome concept really shine through here.
  This game is about a bunch of guys. These guys are fighting aliens. Though the aliens may kill some of them, they know that they will prevail in the end. The aliens must be defeated before they're armies reach the group's home. But the fighting is tough, and you're never quite sure if you'll be able to do it.
  I really like the game towards the end, it's storytelling really captured me then and I was really looking forward to what was going to happen next. I HAD to beat the game at that point. I'm not a fan of the huge wall of rpg plot that some story driven games have, so the way this game displays it's story is awesome to me. Alot of games these days are trying to pull this sort of thing off but they all fall short of Star Guard.

Minecraft (classic)

  Minecraft is a free range sandbox of fun. This game is kind of like playing with legos, you can build just about anything you want. The combining functions of the game make the process of building things more of a challenge then legos ever were though. In end up having to chop down trees and mine deep into the earth in order to create the type of bricks you want. You can also build other things then bricks if you know the right combos.
  This game is about a guy. This guy needs to build stuff. He needs to build stuff because he needs to hide at night, because that's when the monsters come out. In all honesty there's not really much of a plot to minecraft, but you can think one up for yourself if you'd like.
  When I first played this game, I couldn't stop for hours. It gets pretty addicting and you find yourself searching everywhere for those certain blocks you need to finally make that last wall to your golden fort. There's also a pay version of the game that gets updates all the time and there's also an online element to this game. It's one of the most well known Indie games there is.
