The IGJ2 Games
Seventeen experimental games from this year’s Indie Game Jam are now available for free download! Now you can see what all the fuss was about.
Constraints: they run on the PC, I’m guessing requiring a decent videocard, and unfortunately (but sensibly) they require a Playstation controller. And therefore also require an adapter to hook the PS controller to your PC’s USB port. I’m going to buy the adapter for $13 here; if you need a Playstation controller too, on the same site you can get a good one for $20. (Here’s a Google search for more options.)
I’ve read somewhere that the source code will be available, perhaps on sourceforge. If I found out anything I’ll post it here. Note all these games use Atman Binstock’s 2D physics engine, and several were scored by Michael Sweet.
