I played Tell a Dandelion a Secret for about ninety seconds, and it affected me more than most other games I’ve played this year. Maybe it’s the weird mental state I’ve found myself in over the last few months (I’ll post regularly again soon, I promise!) but I think it’s worth your minute and a …
Bowler is an extremely weird game. It’s also absolutely ~my~ kind of game. I just wish it had stuck around a bit longer than it did.

Luckily, even though I’m a sucker for any of these, this one’s better than the handful of moderate-to-good indie platformers we get tossed at us every few months or so. Bringing back memories … Continue reading
