Oh Indie games.... I can't stay mad at you!

Indie games, I love you.

I recently revisited the Indie game “flOw” built by Jenova Chen. It’s a simple free flash game that involves ummm… swimming, I think, and uh, eating things. And then you switching levels. And then you evolve or devolve or ….. WHATEVER it’s cool. And addictive. Games these days come with thick instruction booklets and many game styles, so it’s refreshing when you play something that is just as fun but has no instructions and needs only one button.

I do kind of resent that this free game is now for sale for $7.99 on the PS3 store. That’s unless the majority of the profits are going to the original inventor. Similar to “N+” ninja game that is now for sale on the Xbox live for a handful of points.

Well, if you feel like trying these games out on the web, flash style, click the links.

But my personal “WTF, no instruction” favorites are the Hapland Trilogy. Let me know what ya think.
