Hello World

     Oh, FFS.
     Football.
     Bloody stupid feckin' Football.
     And Big Brother, too.
     Gah!

     This week's YouTube vids have been really bloody hard to track down, mostly because YouTube's full of Football and BigBrother stuff.
     Can't get away from it.
     ARGH!!!

In the Workshop..
     Avoid Football like the plague!!

Moshboy Pieces

Abandoned Indie Games

< A nice big clump of games, this week!

#5 - Dis

Make your way through the train of destruction, leading your lady friend to safety
It's a bit like that bit at the end of BTTF3, only with a longer train!

#6 - Flippers

Nice little Negative Joe style game, where the doors flip the whole world around, and walls and floors become background scenery and vice versa.
Nice how the colours all flip over, too!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DAijT4LlfI

#7 - Old Man's Mansion

Guide Old Man through his Mansion, in a nice GBA styled platformer.
Lovely style of graphics, that seem to remind me of that old Addams Family game.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlTWzdd5mPc

#8 - Glum

Classic screen-flipping platformer, where each little screen is a little piece of the puzzle. A bit Jet Set Willy, only more connected.
Is he wearing a Football strip!?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yioPnSEEA08

#9 - Sky Hammer

Guide the character through the world, and smash things with your mighty hammer!
Lovely looking game, with loads of parallax, and nice big artsy sprites everywhere.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-Rswx_g20k

#10 - Mekanos

A dark castle holds a secret, and only the odd looking swirling black gooey floaty thing can find it.
Guide the blob thing through the castle, destroying half-broken walls, and avoiding all things deadly.

Pixel Prospector's Games

Only one, this week.
Actually, there were two, but one of them was NeonPlat!!

Zombies, Women with Guns, Blood, Guts and More!
Who could possibly not want to play this!?

A Retrospec remake of the classic Ultimate game, Knight Lore
Try to beat the game whilst occasionally becoming a werewolf... But in a good way, not like Sonic Unleashed..
