You might have heard of some of these games already
One of my favorite parts about PAX Prime since 2008 has been the PAX 10 indie game showcase. Over 100 games were submitted to be judged upon by a panel of experts, and the following ten games have been declared the best of the best.
- Avalanche 2: Super Avalancheby Beast Games (PC)
- BADLANDby Frogmind (iOS)
- Escape Goat 2by MagicalTimeBean (PC)
- Gunpoint by Suspicious Developments (PC)
- Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime by Asteroid Base (PC, Mac)
- Owlboy by D-Pad Studio (PC)
- Ridiculous Fishing by Vlambeer (iOS)
- Rogue Legacy by Cellar Door Games (PC)
- Sokobond by Alan Hazelden, Harry Lee, and Ryan Roth (PC, Mac, Linux)
- Towerfall by Matt Makes Games (Ouya, PC)
Some of these are pretty well-known around the indie game community, while others are a bit more obscure. While I already know thatGunpoint, Ridiculous Fishing, and Rogue Legacy are all great, I’m looking forward to getting my hands on all of these. Sokobond looks particularly interesting, but mostly because I may have an unfair advantage in a game about chemistry.
