With everything from escape games, to gem-filled minion mining, to creepy crawly zombie crafting as a real-time strategy game, this week's Link Dump Friday has something for everyone!
Though still in early development, the announcement for the sequel to one of the best tower defense games ever should be cause for excitement! Blending RPG with strategic defense battles and great writing, Defender's Quest II promises a wealth of player-requested improvement on top of everything you loved before.
Coming next year, this classic-styled turn-based sci-fi RPG from talented team Zeboyd Games knows you need more than nostalgia to make a great game. Alyssa is a galactic super-spy, but when she stumbles on a conspiracy that makes her name and face known to the universe, suddenly everyone is gunning for her!
Coming next year, the first paid download installment of Sarah Northway's deep and addictive zombie survival simulation is going to be even bigger and badder than before. With all new stories, endings, events, factions, skills, visuals, and much, much more, Gangs of Deadsville promises to devour your free time in a big, big way.
Coming soon, Redshirt is a sci-fi Star Trek-esque simulation of life aboard a starship... that takes place entirely through social media! Can you juggle work and an increasingly complex personal life as you advance through the ranks and build networks of friends... and maybe even uncover a conspiracy in the process?
Imscared, one of the freakiest and most unique freeware horror games around, heads for Oculus Rift with this IndieGoGo campaign. Don't have OR? Don't worry, because creator Ivan Zanotti also promises to make the new version, with new levels and content, playable without!
Coming next year to PC and consoles if this Kickstarter has anything to say about it, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero stars Shantae, who, after having a nightmarish vision of an ancient evil about to rise, embarks on a platforming action adventure to stop it using her unique abilities. With over 23 years of experience and 200 titles under their belt, can WayForward bring the star of the hit iOS adventure to a new generation?
Coming later this year from Hailstorm Games, Claire is a survival horror adventure that follows a young girl throughout her life. Plagued by horrors and shadows, she finds herself trapped with her faithful canine companion in a twisted reality, hunted by monsters... and haunted by people only she can "redeem"...
Coming later this year for PC and iOS, the episodic indie adventure game Long Story wants to take you back to high school in a way that feels familiar and realistic. As a young girl who returns home from a year away in France, you discover your locker's previous owner disappeared mysteriously... but with studies, friends, romance, bullying, and perhaps even figuring out your own sexual identity, you may have your hands full.
Up for funding on IndieGoGo, Luc Bernard's action adventure game about a young boy named Samuel and a talking fox plans to take players on a journey few games ever dare to... to explore the human stories of the atrocity that is the Holocaust. Daring? Educational? Or misguided? Opinions are bound to be mixed.
Games Featured:
- • Crypt of the NecroDancer
Coming later this year for PC and Mac, this addictive roguelike has a musical twist. Play with a DDR pad or your keyboard as you play a young woman descending into a crypt full of monsters and magic, using the beat of the soundtrack to move and rack up multipliers. Even with your own MP3s! Add in a gorgeous pixel style and all the features roguelike fans have come to expect, and you have a unique, catchy game we can't wait to see more from.
Planned for PC and Mac in 2014, if you're a fan of FTL: Faster Than Light, Don't Starve, and most importantly, Fallen London, this Kickstarter should get you excited!

No tricks in this Mobile Monday. Not a one. Just because it's that April 1st holiday thing doesn't mean we have to participate, right?

So many new games! It's like, why can't the future be here now? Or, why can't the games I'm bored with be not here while the exciting games I don't have be here? And why can't a normal day at the office be more like a video game?!

Geeky times call for geeky games, and this edition of Mobile Monday shows no shortage of said stylings. We've got a gorgeous point and click puzzle game, a math-driven roguelike, and a so-very-retro puzzle hybrid crossing from iOS to Android.

- • Resonance
- • Chrono Trigger
- • Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
- • Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Games Featured:
- • Third Eye Crime
- • Angry Birds HD
- • Virtual Families 2
Time to get some thieving in! And we're not just talking about games that feature thieving. It's also games being given away for free, which is sort of thievery. Not really, but it sounds a little more exciting when you think about it that way.
Games Featured:
- • Torment: Tides of Numenera
- • Avadon 2: The Corruption
- • A Bird Story
- • To The Moon
- • The Walking Dead

Games Featured:
- • Year Walk
- • Sword and Poker
- • Forever Lost
Here's a trend we wouldn't mind seeing proliferate: games releasing alongside reference guides. Sure, you see the word "reference" and automatically think "boring" and sure, it's not a good idea for every game to do this, but in the case of Year Walk, a game based on Swedish folklore, a companion release that features more detailed mythological information is an amazing idea. Now we're almost more exciting about the companion than the game itself!

Games Featured:
- • Kairo
- • Pixel Defenders

- • Dungelot
Do you ever stare at your iPhone or Android phone and just ask it what the heck it thinks it's doing? Sitting there, sucking power out of the battery, awaiting your commands like some sort of obedient machine. And then, when you're playing a game and suddenly fail, why it made you do that? Because you totally had the skills to pull that jump off, it was your phone's fault you missed it. Your phone's fault...
Games Featured:

Games Featured:

Who doesn't like a good animal hybrid? Especially that of the impossible type! One day in the distant past, mankind looked at centaurs with a sort of mystified awe. And today we gaze upon the Goaticorn and wonder "Can I get one of those IRL pls?"
Games Featured:
- • Slender: The Arrival
- • Spire
- • Dustforce
- • 10,000,000
- • Eternal Eden: Ecclesia: *un*Lucky7
This week on Link Dump Friday, we set sail for IndieGoGo where we discover two very intriguing projects... one a sequel to a 2008 indie RPG, and another a fur-filled horror puzzle adventure set in deep space.

- • King Oddball
- • Dr. Stanley's House
It's backwards day on Mobile Monday! Instead of telling you about portable gaming's goings on, we're going to analyze historical examples of decidedly non-portable games. Did you know that Stonehenge is actually a massive in-progress game of tic-tac-toe? Or that the pyramids are the only remaining pieces of a game of chess? Your move, gargantuan space aliens.
Games Featured:
- • Hotline Miami
- • Dreadline
- • Fez
- • Dungelot
Coming up in 2013. A game with a hat the Doctor would approve of, and monstrous time-traveling mayhem... that the Doctor probably would NOT approve of, but he's not here right now, is he? Also: Hotline Miami gets evidence as to why it could never have been a text adventure, and an effortlessly addictive free casual roguelike gets an update.
Games Featured:
- • Touch Detective
- • Sprinkle 2
- • Mew-Genics
Well, so much for 2012. Did you join the gym like you promised yourself you'd do? Finish that novel you were working on? Paint the house? Be nicer to strangers? Stop watching Jersey Shore reruns?

A pocket-sized family, one of the world's most ambitious RPGs stuffed into a smaller package, and a remade Final Fantasy game worming its way into the mobile market. It's all kind of amazing until you realize we're living in the super-futuristic year of 2012!

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.

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?

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:

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!

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:
- • Field Runners 2 HD
- • DOOORS

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...

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:

- • 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.
