Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I have played Dropsy but sometimes I feel like I didn’t play it at all. It’s a peculiar game and it put me into a peculiar state of mind. (more…)

“Uplinklikes” is the term our Adam suggests for games presented as another computer’s desktop. “Uppies.” Whatever you call them, Hypnospace Outlaw has one of the nicest I’ve seen. It’s an AOL-y peek into a pastel-tinged, GeoCities-ish cyberspace with silly animated GIFs and pling
“Uplinklikes” is the term our Adam suggests for games presented as another computer’s desktop. “Uppies.” Whatever you call them, Hypnospace Outlaw [official site] has one of the nicest I’ve seen. It’s an AOL-y peek into a pastel-tinged, GeoCities-ish cyberspace with silly animated GIFs and plingy-plongy midi music. Lovely! Jay Tholen, creator of the clownventure Dropsy, wants to take us to the Hyponospace to cruise the dreamtime cyberspace as an Enforcer in search of outlaws. He’ll need a little help on Kickstarter to get us there, though. Watch this aceness:

Sadclown adventure game Dropsy may not have lived up to its excellent character design, but it had enough ideas in its strangely shaped head that I was curious what its developer was going to do next.

The games that fly under publisher Devolver Digital ‘s banner are often funny, sometimes silly, and always quirky. Frantic shooter Not A Hero revels in its messy, hedonistic chaos; Dropsy tells the tale of sad, social misfitting clown; and The Talos Principle is a wonderful game
The games that fly under publisher Devolver Digital‘s banner are often funny, sometimes silly, and always quirky. Frantic shooter Not A Hero revels in its messy, hedonistic chaos; Dropsy tells the tale of sad, social misfitting clown; and The Talos Principle is a wonderful game about philosophy and mind-boggling puzzles, to name but a few. The Humble Devolver Bundle has them all and more and is live right now.
