bundle for racial justice and equality on ITCH.io: search and destroy

"finished" minit, but not 100%. might work through the walkthrough or might pick one of the other 1703 games...

Saw that LYNE is in the bundle, nice puzzle game from many years back.

following, I bought this but have done nothing yet except DL Wisp

any dumb car racing games? there used to be this great one for older pre-Intel Macs where you got chased by cops and could destroy them with missiles and bombs

Spy Hunter?

maybe? there were different levels with, like, snow/ice or water levels where you were a boat, really nice motion dynamics?

(apologies if you were suggesting one of the bundle games, I will look)

really nice motion dynamics

lol probably not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Hunter

Also see Action Fighter, similar to Spy Hunter. In the arcades, but I hammered it on my old Amiga when I got it free with a magazine

(not on the bundle unfortunately)

I've not come across any decent driving games on this yet

How about no wheels racing?

oh there was something, Vienna Automobile Society.

Not your normal racing game. Basically all you do is choose the approach point for the bends on a track, the car drives around itself, to give yourself the best exit speed I presume. It's not great, interesting idea though.

Going to try out Wheels of Aurelia, looks like a race/narrative crossover.

Also Vektor 2089 looks like a decent 2d dop down Wipeout type racer.

And non-racing, I love Trawl but not sure why. And it needs to be longer.

yeah I saw a recommendation for Wheels Of Aurelia from Morday maybe?

thanks, all!

uh Mordy ofc

not from me! but sounds cool i'll take a look too.

got ending G, looks like there are 16 endings
(or maybe more, just that it had a 1/16 after the G)
It's rather delightful.

so the car drives by itself but you can go faster which will stop it turning by itself and will also enable you to avoid picking up hitchhikers.

whilst you're driving you get to engage in chit chat, using the mouse wheel to choose your responses, but you can say nothing.

oh there's the occasional fork in the road

i generally keep to the right

Vektor 2089 is a force! Don't try and play with anything higher than 120cc tho.

Anodyne not's bad, in a retro-zelda kinda way.

Another vote for Minit. Whole thing's a couple of hours. Only had to look up a solution once, thankfully. Not gonna go back for all the secrets though (though I ended up one coin short of being able to buy the speed boots)

The speed boots were underused imo. Could've opened up a bunch of extra gameplay with them but as far as I know they were needed for only 2 optional bits.

currently playing Hidden Folks.

https://adriaan.itch.io/hidden-folks

it's bascially Where's Wally / Waldo, only animated and interactive.

previous to that was Don't Move.

https://stvr.itch.io/dont-move

which is a single screen game where you get achievements by moving left and right (or, spoiler, but probably not as it's *in the title*, not moving left or right). spent a lot of it wondering if i was playing it right...

played the delightful Wide Ocean, Big Jacket last week. It's a short (1-2 hour) story game about a camping trip with good writing and some nice, relaxing wandering around sections. There's also a 20 minute or so demo prequel with no gameplay overlap that is worth playing too.

OK I have a super dumb question: are these all PC-only? I don't care if they are, good cause and all, but the one I've tried had an exe file.

Many are Mac compatible

"Platforms" dropdown on the side bar

^^ thank you, I didn't want to DL stuff I couldn't play

any Mac recommendations are appreciated, gonna try this Forever Lost thing

Yeah I dipped back into this last night to try some new ones, will give some feedback in a few days on some

but I like the sound of those ones mentioned above

I remember playing Don't Move on newgrounds.

Jam and the Mystery of the Mysteriously Spooky Mansion is a funny short VN game, very absurd. Make sure you get the Spoiler-light walkthrough in Downloads to see all the ending combinations when you eventually run out of 'em.

Tried Lenna's Inception tonight, pretty fun and good concept (roguelike Zelda inspired by Link randomizers), wish I could get my gamepad working on Mac though.

Ethereal is a pretty good abstract puzzle game. I saw it reviewed here: http://blog.zarfhome.com/2020/11/a-shut-in-years-worth-of-puzzle-games.html

my christmas holiday, completely no-stress, choice. had seen screenshots over indie-gaming twitter at the time. it's nice. would've been better at halloween because there's a very slight spooky feel to it.

finished that.

writing nice enough that i went back and played all 6 alternatives for the stick-passing bit (and they are all different) and am wondering what else i'm missing)

And now into A Short Hike, which is anything but short. Run (climb, fly) around an island doing tasks. Looks great and fun to explore but all very samey so hard to navigate. So much easier with a joystick.

Finished A Short Hike, at least the main task (get to top of hill). Walkthroughs mention half a dozen side tasks that I didn't do so I might dip back into it.

Downloaded Nuclear Throne but got segment violation when running it. Something something 32 bit ELF. Might reboot into windows and give it a go there. Looks a lot more frantic than the last two.

Might spin up pico8 if I get inspired, looks a nice little system and a novel way of sharing your creations.

Are you on Mac?

Linux. But I can dual boot into windows if I'm desperate. And I have the work Mac at home due to pandemic, so I have options.

> great that pico-8 was on this, really enjoyed creating a very very bad manic miner/ chuckie egg platform game

my first attempt, a work in progress (needs more structures, coins), but playable, 3d ant attack without the ants, or the attack. and 2d.

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ant.html

c to run
left and right to rotate
up and down to rotate view

all of the current 11 coins are collectable, only 89 to add...

omg that's really cool

Haha yeah that's great!

i got em all!

the worst thing about ant attack was the ants so great job with this!

    Added ants (for Tom)

I wouldn't say the ants were the problem, much rather the janky hand-grenade throwing mechanism you had to wrestle with.

the handy web page has been updated to include this

bundle for racial justice and equality on ITCH.io: search and destroy

You mean https://randombundlegame.com/ ?

yep

Humble Stand With Ukraine Bundle

https://itch.io/b/1472/indie-bundle-for-abortion-funds

smaller games by the looks and little, if any, overlap. (i dont think i've actually downloaded anything from the ukraine bundle yet)

https://randombundlegame.com/ is already updated

(having said there's no overlap, the first thing i clicked on i already owned and the second thing i clicked on i already owned twice!)

There's a second abortion bundle too right?
I laud the effort here but there's so much junk in these, they need to lead with the more popular titles in there so there's some attraction

VERY highly recommend checking out Hypnospace Outlaw!

Fans of Hypnospace Outlaw should check out steam right now.

Any thoughts on this one?

Looks great. I own all but 2 of them and I still bought it. The only ones I think I've completed are the blackwell games and shivah, and they were very well done.

Similar boat; I've bought most of them in bundles, only played The Shivah though. That was good enough to give me years of faith in the developer.

Booted up Gemini Rue and I'm pretty sure I've finished that one too. I remember a late gate twist but not much else.
