  • The Indie Hour!

    Today marks the grand beginning of an ongoing new feature for HippoChippies: The Indie Hour! I have an incredibly large backlog of independent free games I’ve picked up through hours of scouring the web. I want to find the best indie games that you can play for free and give them the attention they deserve. I have tons of these games hiding in folders on my desktop, and I’ve barely touched any of them.

    The goal of this new segment is to set aside one hour and get some impressions on as many of them as I can. I feel like it’s better t play some of these games for five minutes, rather than let them sit on my computer and never touch any of them at all. Wish me luck, and hopefully I’ll find a few surprises deep down in here. And honestly I’m just curious to figure out what an “Empyreal Nocturne” could possibly be.

It’s incredible how many fantastic games are out there (for free!) that so many people have no idea exist. It just takes a little bit of searching, and once you get one you can’t just stop there. These developers make games that just aren’t seen enough. They range anywhere from large scale projects, to small 5 or 10 minute short experiences, or even tiny diversions that only take a couple minutes to finish. Not all of these games are masterpieces, but they’re worth the minimal amount of effort it takes to seek them out. In the new Indie Freebies segment, I’ll show off the best indie games you can get for the low, low price of free.
