Pop Quiz, hot shot. Can you talk your friend through defusing a bomb that you can’t see? Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes is a Spaceteam-like game where one person gets to be Keanu Reeves and their friends get to be Jeff Daniels. Right now, the game only works with the Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra,…
Global Game Jam 2014 was this past weekend, and over 4,000 games were made at events around the world. Most of them are available to play online at the jam’s site right now, so we took a look at a few of the ways people interpreted this year’s theme. If you aren’t familiar with game…

The Minecraft DayZ mod is pretty ambitious, attempting to recreate most of the mechanics of its namesake within Minecraft. Here’s how to try it out yourself. You can watch the video above for a peek at the game itself, but if you want to try it out, it’s pretty easy. There are two ways to…
Did you catch that polarity-switching part? I will now be thinking of this as “Guacamelee plus Jello-O”. The Floor Is Jelly comes out January 30th for Mac and PC.
Everyone loves Cookie Clicker, but what if you want to click burgers, or cats, or Kotakus? Well now you can make your own ‘idle game’ just by editing a text file! Orteil, the developer of Cookie Clicker, has made a free engine that lets anyone design their own clicking games without any programming knowledge. All…
A few game developers decided that for some reason, Unity, the 3D game engine, is the perfect medium for a text adventure. Amazingly, it turns out that they were right. I’m not going to explain why, you should either play the game yourself (It took me about 7 minutes) or watch the four minute videoversion…
Pretty self explanatory.
It was Tuesday, we played Nidhogg.
Two games. Both about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. One lets you force-feed people disinfectant. The other lets you run around naked and bash people with rocks. I had to know – which has friendlier players? Note: If you’re confused, Rust is the game with naked people, but you have to turn off the “censor…

You’re fired.
Aerena is one of those games that leaves you with a lot of questions. Why is this platform floating in the middle of the sky? Why are these people fighting? Why is it spelled like that? Luckily, we have a video that answers none of those questions. It’s a free-to-play turn-based game where you send…
Apparently there’s some entrepreneur out there who is also a big fan of Minecraft, so to communicate with him, Avery and Eliot built a Minecraft version of their dad’s offices. The offices come complete with a meeting room, kitchen, and custom textures! Sure, at first it reminded me of when every company was building virtual…
I’ve been curious about Dwarf Fortress for a long time, but I could never get over the hurdle of ascii graphics (ironically) so it never happened. Turns out Gnomoria scratches that itch quite well, and actually has pretty pictures to look at. As you’d expect from a Dwarf Fortress-like, it’s got a bit of a…
An indie developer by the name ‘Kazerad’ was working on a two player game where each is trying to uncover the other’s identity, and kill them. Sadly, he’s abandoned the idea, but he posted everything you’d need to pick up where he left off. I think “Murder simulator” was a good word for it. It…
