Just started but it might be the best 'paddle ball bricks' game ever.

I'm still partial to Kirby's Block Ball on Green Boy.

This one's pretty neat, though.

Pingvinas is a badass board game!



Penguins eating the fuck out of fish and trapping each other on a lone ice block to drown/die of starvation.

And it has 4-player online play! Only 240 points!

There's a pretty fun Outrun clone that just hit the Indie section called Ocean Drive Challenge. It's only 80pts.

Has anyone else tried DLC Quest? For 80 points, it's pretty clever.

More details please.

It's sort of a Wonder Boy-esque satire of how out of control DLC can get. For example, right at the start you have to buy the ability to go left.

A bunch of indie games got discounted recently to 80 points.

I know Cthulu Saves the World is one of them.

I was bummed to see Pingvinas missing from the list. Still waiting for it to hit 80 points.

So Soulcaster and Soulcaster II both dropped to 80 points. I recommend both!

Unfortunately, Escape Goat (from the same Soulcaster developer) is still 240 points. A price drop is coming as soon as Microsoft allows it (sometime in February).

Why don't you just spend the two extra dollars on it if you want it.

$3-$1. That's two cans of carb-ridden AriZona iced teas you'd have to give up!

DLC Quest and Ocean Drive Challenge are great dollar buys - Little Racers Street is also a good one for lovers of RC De Go!/RC Pro Am, although since it's weapon-less, it's really more like the former than the latter. Motor Heat's also awesome - looks great for an Indie game and has a great sense of speed.
