- • The Last Door

This week's Link Dump Friday is so full of things they're busting out all over the place! From spooky orphanages to a marshmallow swamp, from creeping horror in England to making friends in Ponyville, and one sweet deal for any fan of indie games to boot. Awwwww yeah.

Does the thought of a strategy game put you to sleep? It shouldn't! As this week's Vault proves, you can provide complexity and challenge without being put through a year-long training course!

- • Sportsfriends

The season is getting colder, stores are packed full of twinkling lights and mistletoe, and a young gamer's mind turns to thoughts of... mass murder and infanticide. Of course. But don't worry! Even if you're not into the icky-sticky, this week's Link Dump Friday delivers genre bending (and blending!), games with friends, and much more... including one gamer's heartfelt personal experiences with life and death that may make you cry.
Games Featured:
- • Elona Shooter
- • Castaway
- • Ge.ne.sis
What's in an RPG? As games continue to evolve and change concepts, that's changed significantly. Some of them might merely incorporate "RPG elements", while others rely on providing a story-lite, but in depth combat-oriented adventure, and still more offer up classic JRPG style with a twist. Here are three games who all serve up RPG gameplay, of sorts, in vastly different styles and ways.
Games Featured:
- • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- • Hotel Vegas
- • Chaos Rings Omega
This week's edition of Mobile Monday is like a soap opera! What we mean is Mobile Monday's long lost identical twin recently came to town and tried to seduce Mobile Monday's husband. What happened? You'll have to wait for the next episode! Gasp and shock and awe!
Games Featured:

A message from somewhere out of this world, a dungeon you can blast and smash your way through with up to three more buddies, the epic conclusion to a massive open-world RPG indie trilogy... hope you're not too burnt out from Thanksgiving/Black Friday/saving children from burning orphanages for this week's Link Dump!
Games Featured:
- • REDDER
- • Viricide
- • The Trader of Stories: Bell's Heart
Thinking compelling, memorable stories can't be found in browser games is a mistake, and on this week's Vault we look at three games that take very different approaches to delivering their narrative. From a near-wordless space platforming adventure, to a shooter taking place inside an AI, and a point-and-click adventure about a girl who deals in unusual currency.
Games Featured:
- • Game of Thrones
- • Kung Fu FIGHT
Hey there. How would you like a mobile game based on Game of Thrones? Well, you might just get it! Or you might not, it all depends on how far off the rumor mill is turning. As long as there's a mini-game centered around dropping dung on Joffrey, we'll consider it a success.

- • Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode Three
- • Maia
- • Retro Game Crunch

What more could you possibly want? I mean, aside from robot hounds with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at intruders. Otherwise, we've got you covered.
Games Featured:
- • Guardian Rock
- • Red Remover
- • Upgrade Complete
Innovation? It doesn't have to be as elaborate as you think! The three games starring in this week's Vault prove all you need is a talented developer to get every drop of cleverness and entertainment out of simple, familiar gameplay concepts and make something as engrossing and entertaining as a fancier title.
Games Featured:
- • Waking Mars
- • Woodhead
- • illo
Beginning your weekly journey to continued financial/scholastic success, might we suggest you take a peek at what games are currently brewing for your future enjoyment? Or perhaps have already been brewed for your present enjoyment? They've got nothing to do with actual brewing, just space and wooden blocks and stuff, which is better.
Games Featured:
- • Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure
- • Sir, You Are Being Hunted
- • Another World
- • Analogue: A Hate Story
- • Hate Plus
- • Skyscrapers
Love, Hate, puzzles and more make up this week's Link Dump Friday! It also features a very talented little girl, robots with weaponry and a taste for your blood, and a fan-made HD remake of a classic adventure game's intro sequence that's truly... out of this world!
Games Featured:
- • Cryptograma
- • Bill the Demon
- • Puzzle Boy
The outlook isn't good on the JayIsGames Arcade Megaplex Startkicker campaign. So far, we've only received $7.50 in pledges, and I think that may have been by accident. Oh well, at least there's all the wonderful games in the archives to console me. Today in the Vault, we have a bit of cryptically challenging wordplay, a demonically delicious piece of platforming, and some super sliding Sokoban ripe for the solving.
Games Featured:
- • Nightmare Runner
- • Clumsy Cat
- • Endless Escape
Hello, and welcome to Monday! How was your weekend? The usual? Yeah, we know that feel, bro/sis. How about a little mobile news to take your mind off the fact that it isn't the weekend anymore? Escape games? Running games? Yes? Yes!

There's a lot happening in this week's Link Dump Friday, from a new adorable (but disturbing) project from the mind of Team Meat, to robotic babes, to making interactive fiction easier and more accessible to make and play. And don't blink. Whatever you do, don't blink.
Games Featured:
- • Full Moon
- • Hoosegow
- • The Fabulous Explorationsland
Now that our most recent Casual Gameplay Design Competition has come to a close, maybe you're wondering which of the other games from past competitions you should delve into next. There are a lot of wonderful creations that began their life as CGDC entries, and here are three selections to bring out your imaginative, exploratory talents with three very different methods of gameplay.
Games Featured:
- • Don't Look Back
- • Granny Smith
- • Star Command
Here's something to mull over as your workweek begins: Don't Look Back, a free mobile release from Terry Cavanagh, does exactly what its name forbids by being a port of a 2009 browser game. Granny Smith is both a granny and a member of the Smith family, whereas Star Command actually lets you command stars—wait, it's a starship commanding game? Oh. Well. Then. Nevermind!
Games Featured:
- • Kat Attack!
- • Motherload
- • Super Motherload
- • Flightless
Space pirates and visual novels... multiplayer arcade revival of a much-loved mining classic... dungeon-delving ducks with magical ladders... there's a lot of weirdness to be found in this week's Link Dump Friday, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
Games Featured:
- • Dark Cut (1 & 2)
- • The tin Soldier
- • Intruder
Halloween is galloping towards us, so it's time to enjoy some deliciously creepy gaming treats, ranging from "eh" to "OH NOES" on the scale of fear. A macabre toy story, an up close and visceral medical simulation, and a horrifyingly tense game of cat-and-mouse will be just the ticket to get you ready for the season. Pleasant dreams.
Games Featured:
- • Angry Birds
- • Chaos Rings
Courtroom news? How dare we include something as boring as legal stuff! Don't worry, though, because it's happy law news, not sleep-inducing law jargon. And it'll make you happy, too!
Games Featured:
- • A Game of Dwarves
- • Kingdom Rush
- • Hotline Miami
- • Songmasters
Dwarves, warfare, and Miami... oh, my! This week; two new upcoming releases that are very, VERY different, a spotlight on the creativity of the indie community by none other than PBS, music as a weapon, and more!

- • Tasha's Game
- • This is the Only Level
What type of games make you feel good? They might be puzzle games that make you feel like a genius, or platformers that allow you to unleash dazzling feats of dexterity... or they could simply be games that you find silly, colourful, or quietly brilliant. Check out these three games, and then let us know which games you play for a quick pick-me-up when you're feeling blue!
Games Featured:
- • Noby Noby Boy
- • Devil's Attorney
- • Sonic Jump
What? Sad news on a Mobile Monday? Sad indeed, fellow gamers. But not without a couple of shots of happy, too. In fact, we'll even argue that the happiness outweighs the sadness, with respective scores of 1.64 and 1.47 as measured on the Jack McBrayer Smile Scale!
Games Featured:
- • BasketBelle
- • Nythros
- • Charnel
- • Slenderman: The Orphanage
- • Slender
This week on Link Dump Friday! A sale for a surreal experimental game about family and sports, an upcoming alpha release for an action RPG, more face time with everyone's faceless terror, and more! Plus, a little girl using video games to cope with her condition, and what Kickstarter means (or doesn't mean) for gaming innovation.
Games Featured:
- • The Chzo Mythos
- • Iji
- • An Untitled Story
This week's Vault goes free... freeware, that is! We showcase some more of our favourite free download titles made by indie developers with a whole lot of talent.

Games Featured:
- • Jetpack Joyride
- • Oceanhorn
- • Scorcery!
Anybody up for some mobile teasing? A fresh batch of news for a fresh week (and month!), just enough details to get you excited for the future but not so much that you'll feel like you know it all. It's a delicate balance to taunt the internet reader, isn't it?
Games Featured:
- • Anodyne
- • Slender: The Arrival
- • Olvand
- • Oozengard
What's on this week's Link Dump Friday? Well, everyone's favourite unspeakable horror gets a business partner and a new upcoming commercial release, a mysterious slime invades your smartphone and overtakes a city, you get the chance to dig through dreams both surreal and unsettling with classic 2D action, and developers talk about what they think made their games tick... and more!
Our 10th game design competition today is concluded with the awarding of prizes as well as honoring all of the games that were entered. The "escape" theme was represented well, and one particular entry even sent chills down our spine, with its moody and evocative atmosphere, while trying to escape from a dream state.
Games Featured:
- • Windosill
- • Flash Element Tower Defense 2
- • Every Day the Same Dream
- • Today I Die
Games can be addictive, clever, innovative, cerebral, surreal, and a whole lot more... but as long as they're fun and you enjoy them, that's all that really matters! The archives of your Friendly Neighbourhood Casual Gameplay are filled with all sorts of games, and it can be difficult to try to pick a favourite type... so why bother when there's so much cool stuff worth checking out? Here are four very enjoyable little games who all are awesome for different reasons.
Games Featured:
- • Pocket Planes
- • Dark Nebula
- • Super Hexagon
- • QuestLord
It's an Android love party! As the free Google-made mobile OS turns four years old, several novel casual games make their way to the Google Play store, including one of our all-time favorites, Pocket Planes! And since the green robot is doing so well, developers are working to release even more ports and original games, ensuring you'll never use your phone for phone calls (whatever those are).
If another attack happens to us I can promise you that we will act immediately to take the site down until we can address the situation, like we did this time, to protect you, our visitors. There just isn't anything more important to us, and we want to assure you that we work very hard to protect that relationship as well as maintain a safe browsing experience for everyone, but there's really no way to ensure something like this will never happen. All we can do is try our very best, and to resolve any situation that arises as quickly and efficiently as we can.
Games Featured:
- • Baldur's Gate
- • Project Eternity
- • Nevermind

Games Featured:
- • Factory Balls
- • Sprout
- • Liquid Colors
What's in a theme?

This week's Vault takes a look at three of our favourites as we gear up to judge the current 10th Casual Gameplay Design Competition.
Games Featured:
- • Field Runners 2 HD
- • DOOORS
- • The Tiny Bang Story
HD this and updated that! Back in my day, we had to play the game as it was released and like it. Game-crashing bug? Deal with it. And we did. Why, sometimes we had to reprogram our own games while we were playing them. And did I mention we didn't have hands then, either? It's true...
Games Featured:
- • Legend of Grimrock
- • Slender
- • Terraria
- • Baldur's Gate

Games Featured:

- • Tiny Game, Arachnophilia: The Spider Web Game
Bugs, gems, and exit doors might seem like an odd combination, but not when you're talking about the Vault! A classic sliding blocks style puzzler, an exercise in itty-bitty exploration, and a night in the life of a spider building its web are all the stars.
Games Featured:
- • Bad Piggies
- • King of Dragon Pass
- • Year Walk
- • Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart
According to this week's Mobile Monday, horses wear tuxedos, pigs are sinister, and pirates are a thing of nightmares. Unless you live your life by the Everything I Know I Learned from Video Games motto, your world probably isn't affected by this too much. Now, go back to stacking blocks in neat patterns. Just, you know, don't put them in groups of three or more...
Games Featured:

- • Incredipede
- • Torchlight 2
- • Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
Physical manipulation, internet in-jokes getting new life, the destruction of all your free time, and much more in this week's Link Dump Friday!

Games Featured:
- • Angry Birds Space
- • Final Fantasy Dimensions
- • Eufloria
Well, we now have a 1.17 million pound machine roaming around the surface of Mars. What better way to celebrate than with a new Angry Birds update?

Games Featured:
- • Bag It!
- • Gasketball
- • Mega Man Xover
Ok, ok, let's get this out in the open right now. There's a new Mega Man game coming to iOS. It's not what you think by a longshot, but its name is just... well it's atrocious. It has to be explained in order to be pronounced correctly, which is a mistake a marketing expert should have pointed out. We're looking at you, Fage yogurt company.
Games Featured:

- • Castle Crashers
- • Primorida
- • Mercenary Kings
- • Routine
- • Slender
2012 is shaping up to be the Year of the Adventure Game, with a lot of amazing stuff already behind us and a new title from Wadjet Eye Games and Wormwood Studios on the horizon, but that's not all!

Games Featured:
- • Bureau of Steam Engineering
- • Give Up, Robot
- • Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar
Beep boop whrrrrrrrrrrr KLIK! That's "robot" for "You're looking nice today!" Though if you change the inflection a little it means "This week's Vault looks at three really different but really awesome robot themed games!" Which is kind of convenient as far as translations go. Shhhh, don't think about it. Just enjoy.
Games Featured:
- • Minecraft: Pocket Edition
- • Dynamite Jack

Forget bundles, the real good stuff now comes in batches! Summerbatch: Volume One is a collection of indie adventure games from developers who have a habit of creating and releasing free games. Name your own price for this nice collection, scoring five adventure games for yourself (four and an action game, technically) and sending some monetary thanks to these very fine developers. And for every £500 raised, £50 goes to charity! As if you needed another excuse to grab the batch.
