Dots and Co

posted July 21, 2016 #

Very excited to see that the fine folks behind Dots and TwoDots have launched a new game in the series, Dots and Co. I'm just now scratching the surface of actual gameplay but it feels like a Dots game that has been extended further and made more immersive. There are lots of familiar mechanics but it still feels new.

Equally as exciting as the game itself is the release of the soundtrack. Without even having heard these in the context of the game, they are gorgeous, maybe even a little melancholy at times. Absolutely not what you'd expect to hear from an iOS game.

Get them both.

We Own This Town, Volume 77

posted July 20, 2016 #

Hot on the heels of the Volume 76 comes another installation of great music coming out of Nashville. This one ended up being pretty heavy on the Rock side of things - psych rock, big riff rock, indie rock, etc. But there's a nice balance with the swirly goodness of CASA and the glitchy fun of Real Yawny.

Enjoy this goodness from Penicillin Baby, Adia Victoria, VampTones, Meter, The By Gods, Anchor Thieves, Tower Defense, Happy Little Trees, Rales, CASA and Real Yawny.

Family Sandwich '87

posted July 20, 2016 #

Occasonally, absurd indie-gaming catches me just right and I find some silly idea to be just downright delightful. Such is the case with Family Sandwich `87, a game where you make a sandwich and pack a lunch. Thank you Zvonimir Rudinski, this is perfectly ridiculous. Also, great cartridge art.

Tower Defense - Glyphs

posted July 19, 2016 #

A good music video does not need to have a huge budget, it just needs to be charmingly clever. Such is the case with this brand new Tower Defense video for Glyphs. On the surface, it's a lyric video set to slow-mo video but once you've given it a look, it's clearly more than that. Is there a narrative arc in there? Some life insight? Or is it just babblings? Only one way to find out - repeated viewings.

It's also helpful that the song is less than 2 minutes, much like many of the gems from their yk records released Stay Inside EP (available now on beautiful vinyl or streaming everywhere).

The above GIF is capture from the forthcoming game HK Project - "a cat adventure video game, developed by Koola & Viv." You can follow along with the development of the game over on their HK Devblog in which they showcase a bunch of rather impressive video snippets where you are controlling a cat through beautifully light back alleys. There's not a ton to see yet but it looks great. At the very least, the world gets some phenomenal new robo-cat GIFs.

Passport Index 2016

I can't say that I've ever been too curious what a passport from Zimbabwe looks like but thanks to the Passport Index, I don't even have to think about it. If you find yourself looking for inspiration for a seal, this is a phenomenal repository to start from. Peruse the beautiful, minimalist or strikingly simple creations.
