Show Notes

Radar: Gridrunner Revolution

The latest game by mad scientist Jeff Minter, the mind behind Tempest 2000 and the XBOX 360 Music Visualizer, is a trippy, classic-style arcade shooter - but is it more style than substance?

Sweet Canabalt intro, can't believe I didn't see that coming.
Yo dudes, while you're checking out XBox indie games, could yo do me a favor and check out Arkedo's new one "Jump"? I absolutely loved their last game ("Big Bang Mini" on the DS) and would you believe the 360 is one of the few platforms I don't currently rock? The increasing number of indie games is making me think I might make that investment soon, but I want to make sure they're worth it.
Also, "Runman"'s totally gonna kill it this week. Nice try, every other game in the world.

Not before I host it. It's well overdue. One day will be bizarro day on Bytejacker when Jon hosts and Anthony shoots. It will be the worst episode we've ever done and will therefore be great!

I'm hoping this episode will involve "bonus features" like public intoxication and insinuating a riot. :D :D

Great episode per usual, though I can't recall there ever being a 'bad' episode.

Anyway, I recently made a video response which included some feedback on the show again instead of just my response to the question.
Notably, the 'free indie rapidfire' links on the video description are last week's games. ;)

One of the things I like the most about you guys is the way you put ALL the information and the links CLEARLY in the description of the video. It's something that most others don't bother doing, but personally I think it's very useful!

Again, great show, short and compact. More indie games to try! yea ;)
Oh there's that new flash game that I found pretty clever. It wasn't an action game with killing and stuff, but it was a clever little puzzle game.
It's called "Take Something Literally". I know it's not the kind of indiegames you guys talk about usually but it's definitly worth trying.

We've got 'em both in there, dude - links to the stuff on the countdown AND links to the new stuff - just scroll all the way down, we've got you covered. :)

That's not really a "bonus feature" as much as it is "the stuff Jon cuts out to make me look like a sane, likable human being."

Yeah, sorry about that, I noticed that shortly after. Guess I'm not used to seeing last week's games in the description too. :D
