Cactusquid- indie game awesomness

Post by weasels »

So i was searching the indie game scene and i remembered a game i played a while ago called mondo agency. it was very strange but quite retro in nature. so looking into it i found out that the author had a site called cactusquid, and it turned out he made another one of my favorite indie titles SeizureDome. what i found from there was a great group of strange yet fun games with a retro appeal. i figured i would share this with you guys. i recommend downloading the arcade app that holds most of the better games on the site. also fair bit of warning, seizuredome has some small nudity in it. although it's very minor. (pssss, try the mondo games at night) :)

I'm curious, what does indie game mean?

damn, I thought the game was called Cactus Squid. Which to me was an amazing game based only on the merits of its title.

it means they are independent games, made by no huge corporation and sometimes just one person.
