Towerfall is god-tier if your friends have controllers. Easily one of my favorite multiplayer games ever.

I also just picked up Nuclear Throne and I think it's fantastic. Vlambeer's previous games Super Crate Box and Luftrausers were visceral, exciting action games that lacked the substance and balance they needed to keep me interested in the long term, but Nuclear Throne is holding together really well. I'm starting to have a little more faith in these guys.

I have no idea why /v/ hates this game so much. It was the first major indie release after Braid and has no major flaws.

>>246398359
/v/ doesn't really hate it. It's the best, and arguably only good game Ed's ever released.

It's just not as good compared to other "good" indie games.

I really didn't like Treasure Adventure Game's final boss and ending. I felt like it was unintentionally building up to something amazing and then didn't deliver on it. Don't give a description of all the cool powers the magical macguffins that you're collecting give the user if you aren't going to let the player ever use them.

>>246398114
Anon, I want to like you, but you dislike Binding of Isaac. I both love La-Mulana and BoI. You must give it a chance, and git gud at the game before liking it.

I like BoI, but it's not God tier. This thread is about God tier indie games.

Nicalis is really not that bad, I think its bad reputation came out of false rumors of Pixel getting his work stolen and no profit.

>>246397567

I completely recommend it, and that's as a fan of roguelikes and STGs who has been consistently burned on rogue-lites and indie arena shooters. It's structurally similar to Binding of Isaac but it's better in every respect, and the action actually plays a lot more like Hotline Miami.

There likely won't be a sale for a while, because it's early access. After the game is "complete", which is probably going to be a while from now, they'll probably make it a flat ten dollars. Then, months later, you might be able to get a sale.

The game as it is is very strong, but they're still adding things to the game on a weekly basis and actually livestreaming a lot of the development. Vlambeer's other games felt like they needed more polish, playtesting, and content, and this game already has more of all three. I'm saying this because we're all skeptics here, I want you to know this game is making the most of its Early Access label.

Most Japanese indie games.

Also, I uninstalled BoI so I'm not entirely sure if the save file is still there. I'll reinstall and see, but I assure you. I have 106%.

Also, BoI WOTL is really fucking easy. I don't know why you want me to prove you this, but it's one of the easiest dungeon crawlers out there.

>>246398852
>Nicalis is really not that bad
They took Cave Story, gave it a shittier translation making every single character (fuck your "huzzah" scapegoat) a bland, boring robot.
They took Cave Story's community, stole fan mods, and then added them into the game as "new content." Nemesis challenge: Mod. Hell Temple Speedrun: Pointless when there's already a timer in the main game. Boss Rush: Mod. Etc.
Nigoro trusted La-mulana's original fucking PC devkit with Nicalis, and they threw it in the trash. Forcing Nigoro to port the Wii version.
They cancelled two localizations without either author's knowing until they find out later.
And finally, they fucking rehashed CS a thousand times over.

Nicalis is fucking terrible.
They've never made a single game, either. So having them develop BoI:R is a terrible idea.

>>246399080
I managed to almost SS yotta on a keyboard.

Oh god, EXACTLY like people who hate Dark Souls.

I really enjoyed Thomas Was Alone, though it was kind of pretentious.

Can you post some simple 2d games, which are fun to get lost in? Maybe something weird. I liked Knytt, for instance. I donwloaded the pirate bay bundle, but there were only a couple of wacky games, the rest was just shit. I know there should be lots of this stuff out there

>>246399545
Which one was Bol? The giant nigger in the hell world?

>>246399660
Thing about BoI is that it's easier only because of the increased rate of flying items.

>>246399762
They added the Special stat and fixed that recently.

>>246399757
Oh wait, I thought we were talking about SMB here.

>>246399830
Really? I might get back into it. The flying items RUINED the game, honestly. That's why I started disliking it. Aside from that, the rarity of starter items. I should replay it and see if it's more fun.

>>246399660
...how is reading out of a guide correlating to skill to beating a game? You're not formulating tactics, you're not developing and mastering skills, and you're using the 0.00001% of your brainpower necessary to read words off a page. While BoI is a lot more luck based than DS because of the droprates, the fact remains that many gamers have taken the RPG stat enhancement system and confused the advantage it gives them with the low skill it requires to play the game.

I'm fairly sure you'll find less players who beat Meat Boy all the way through than DS, even proportionally.

>>246392320
I could do that...

>>246399735
>which are fun to get lost in?
It's not really weird nor is it as expansive as Yume Nikki or anything. But La-mulana is a game all about getting lost trying to find out where to go next.

An Untitled Story and other Matt Thorsons work
Clonk Rage

>>246399917
Basically flying items are rare as fuck now. Wrath of the Lamb was shit on release, but with all the updates the game is perfect now.
You not only have a decreased rate of flying, but if you get amazing items like Polyphemus, the special stat raises and lowers the chance of other amazing items. So if you get flying you're guaranteed to get less OP offensive items anyway.

>>246400024
I'm saying that beating BoI is impossible if you don't have skills and are just using a guide.

i thought castle crashers was a fun little beat em up game in an age when the genre is pretty much dead with a cute style and nice touches and online multiplayer with friends is a blast

i didn't get too into Binding of Isaac but it seemed alright and it felt good to beat your previous attempts and the game is a damn fine example of level generation as each room is premade but put into a random arrangement/ randomly selected

Rogue Legacy is a terrible game. It's an easy, fad pandering piece of shit with bland and simplistic gameplay. Simplistic gameplay isn't bad--but it's bad when your game isn't trying to be simplistic. It's got one of the shittiest random generation mechanics in all of vidya, and it's an overall boring, uninspired trash.

It even tries to sell itself as a "roguelite" when we all know that that's a fucking buzzword made for people who think they know what a roguelike is.

It's not related to World of Goo at all. But if you think it's your favorite indie game, most people fall to their knees over La-mulana.

It's probably got the worst fanbase, but rarely anyone thinks it's shit.

There's something about doing slightly better each time until you reach the point when you can one-hit everything in the castle zone.

I probably could have completed it much earlier but instead of doing the bosses, I kept getting greedy and going into the cellar zone.

It's fanbase actually wants Nigoro to reboot 2D metroid because of it. In addition to thinking it's better than Super Metroid.

Take that for what you will--It's a 15-25 hours long game (Not including optional hell temple) with great atmosphere and great music. It also does a good job of making the player think "where the fuck am I supposed to go" because it doesn't have an actual sequence.

You can go wherever you want at the start, and unless you reach a dead end, you aren't going the wrong way.

They tend to focus on a style of gameplay that is easy to learn, hard to master and unlike most indie devs can actually do graphics.

But then again you don't hear about the shitty ones (which there are a lot of) and rarely do you even get a change to play the ones that aren't SHUMPs.

Honestly the one thing thats keeping me away from the game is the fact that its entirely focused on speed runs. I'd play a game like that with a story mode in a heartbeat, but just doing runs to get better times is not for me.

>>246411995
I can understand that

People always say they only care about gameplay, but games without stories tend to sell abysmally

>>246411784
What about the novelty of the concept and execution of said concept? To me that's what indie games are all about. Where AAA games are bogged down in making the same games in the same genres because their audience expect them to do so, indie companies can make whatever they want.

Also, the value of game design is about as subjective as fun. Art assets and polish just seem to be very unsatisfying criteria to judge a game by.

You exactly know what people mean by it, it means the game is on the level of a flashgame. BoI is different, because of its soundtrack and the sheer amount of art assets, but OFDP might as well be on Newgrounds

>>246412103

Gameplay matters a lot but there needs to be some kind of emotional investment otherwise players usually can't justify spending time getting better at the gamee.

There are a lot of games with high skill ceiling out there, more than anyone could feasably git gud at, so we tend to gravitate around the ones we have the highest amount of subjective reasons to like.

Cloudbuilt had me with it's atmosphere, it's artistic direction and visual design. And of course the gameplay. I just needed some form of emotional attachment to characters to finally crack, but the fact that the game will not provide that makes me prefer other games to it.

You have such shit taste it's hard to take you seriously.

I really like the game, but sometimes I get this error where after selecting a character I can't press play or switch to someone else. Then I have to restart the game a few times and hope that it works.

You didn't even play the game, fuck off.

You don't have to agree, but the least you could do is explain why you don't agree.

what game ?

>>246413693
I don't think Monaco is that good just because of the Mole.

That's actually fair enough and I agree.

But you know... you could just make a rule that picking the mole is disallowed.

Glad I pirated it to be honest, it's what £10 on steam right now or something? But yeah, I agree, still very fun and I might buy when the devs have worked on it a little more. Curious about how they're dodging legal trouble with all the hollywood characters they're using.

It's an Ultra-Niche strategy game made by some no-name Swedes who couldn't get a job at Paradox
That said it's fucking brilliant. All the little details make it as interesting to read about as it is to play.

Explain yourself.

It's an arcadey shooter that you play for short bursts.
