    Indie-ana Jones Reviews: Mutant Football League

    Let me start out by saying that I loved Mutant League Football back on the Sega Genesis so I was pumped when I heard that its spiritual successor was being developed. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy and I finally did at PAX a couple of years ago. It was a buggy nostalgia trip, but I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. However, once it finally made it out of beta Mutant Football League really delivered. In the 90’s, Mutant League Football became NFL Blitz and E

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews: Light Fall

    Light Fall I Kickstarted Light Fall way back in 2015 and have played it at different shows over the last three years. As I watched it develop I could see the promise developing. Now that the game is finally out and it has, mostly, lived up to my expectations. The gameplay is tight, the environments and narration are wonderful, and the difficulty scales well. The only real downside is that it doesn’t quite offer up enough. Light Fall has exceptional controls with an added twis

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews: The Fall (Act 1)

    A system boot up screen opens up and starts running diagnostics. Then the screen opens up to show a combat suit. You play the AI running the suit and are tasked with keeping your pilot alive, who when you reboot is unresponsive. As you take a quick look around you discover you have fallen through a hole into a dark cavern. From the very start the atmosphere of the game grabs you and pulls you right in. You really feel as if you are trapped in this dark dank abandoned facility

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews: Tiny Barbarian DX (Episode 2)

    I’ll keep this short and sweet. In Tiny Barbarian DX episode one you were tied to a try and left to die by some a-hole cult members. After escaping you go hunting for these cult members and punish them for what they did. Using your sword and awesome elbow drops you take them out one by one. They what do you stumble across? That’s right ladies. The second episode opens with you sleeping through one of the ladies trying to wake you up. After failed attempts she walks away, I as

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews: Life Goes On

    Life Goes On is like no other game I have played. Yes it’s a puzzle platformer but it has a big twist. You must use the dead bodies of your ancestors to complete each level. Many will die but most not in vain, their sacrifice will help you succeed. Oh that spike pit is too long to jump? Well make a platform out of your body so one of your ancestors can get over it in the near future. There is little story other than finish the puzzles and get the loot in each level. Life Goes

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews Banished

    At first Banished looks like just another city builder. It’s like Sim City with elements of Civilization but much more involved. You play as a group of exiles restarting life in a new and possibly dangerous land. As the scene opens and you see your people milling around you immediately have to start building. You have a supply cart but that will go fast, so before it disappears you need to build storage areas and shelter. As soon as shelter is completed you better get a woodc

    Indie-ana Jones Reviews Richard and Alice

    I have had Richard and Alice in my Steam library for awhile and was just waiting until I had some free time to enjoy it. So right when I fire it up we find Richard in a prison cell and he is bored out of his mind when something strange happens. The guards bring in a new prisoner, he is dying to talk with whomever is in there. Once Alice awakes Richard is chatting with her. At first she is cold and shies away from you. After sometime though you become friendly and are always c
