ISSUE #74

Cover - Vincy Lim

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.

Wink and the Broken Robot (Game Boy) by Max Oakland

Shoot enemies with your laser while collecting coins and mysterious ancient treasures like floppy disks and cassette tapes -- plus powerups that give you special abilities, like shooting left and right at the same time and transforming into a milkweed seed to float slowly to the ground

Wink is taking inspiration from Gameboy classics like Super Mario Land 2 and Link’s Awakening, but doing its own little thing. It has been described as a “cross between Megaman and Kirby”. Regardless of the comparisons, Wink has its own personality and a crazy little world to explore all its own

Sen z úst (WIN/MAC/Linux) by Chamraď Kolektív

Sen z úst is a visual novel-like video game set in a twisted world full of dreams and those who dream them. It contains a reasonable amount of lines and one or two things to think about. The prototype was created as a product of scribbling, writing, crossing out, talking, and getting hands dirty with modeling clay at a game jam. Since then, we have poured more than a little time, energy, and passion into it.
