ISSUE #71

Cover - harper

Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

Indiepocalypse is a curated monthly collection looking to highlight the very best of the alternative indie game scene. 

Each month features games by 10 different developers, including a newly commissioned game exclusive to the bundle-zine. The games cover a wide variety of styles, genres, and themes as they fight against any definition of "indie game" as a genre.

Also, and this part is very important to me and should truly be taken as given, each contributor is paid and developers are paid royalties on all future sales.

This Month's Games

The Slop Machine. (WIN/Browser) by Hudson Baird

Have you ever wanted to create art yet you are someone entirely lacking in talent and any artistic drive? We have created the machine of your dreams!

In this "game" you can make "art" with your "friend". Perfect art. You can look at it, enjoy it, and then stop looking at it. Many cool features for only our best customers.

So just hit the button and have fun.

And don't think too hard about it.

Fragment (WIN) by Snail's Pace

Fragment is a single character RPG made in RPG Maker 2003 with a simple pixel art style. Play as the Little Guy, a simple creature who seems to have been abandoned by it's mysterious creator. Seek her out to save your world!

We Could Just Be Annoying (WIN/MACX/Linux) by BibiXP

Harper and Cherry are obsessed with their idol Harmonious Witch. And that means getting Harmonious Witch to actually notice the two of them, and what better way than some demo tapes of some music of theirs? It's perfect, now the two of them just need to ignore the kinda weird stuff like abandoned objects and possibly not so great magic following their idol, just like fans should!

Though, that might be hard to do without something to distract them, good thing they have their demo tapes to listen to while they try, and fail, to ignore what's been going on around them.

Amphigeum (WIN/Linux) by Nelson, Sol

A slow and sluggish adventure game, where you must kill the Amphisbaena.

Vacation Terminal (WIN/MAC/Linux/Browser) by Gelppy

一顆蘋果aN APpLe (WIN) by Jiahe
