Indie games are small games made by a very small group or company or a single individual person, who do not get any support from game publishers. Indie games rely massively on digital distribution as it is the cheapest way to get their games out there without paying manufacturing and shipping costs. Minecraft is an example of a game made by a single individual, and it has been very successful. Indie games usually hardly have any budget or have a very little one, this means the game cannot be 'amazing' but still have the capability of being quite fun. Alot of indie games strated out on the pc as flash games and get made into better more in depth games. Indie games have their own section in games consoles such as the xbox live market place, it has a massive wide variety of indie game that you can buy or trial. Indie games are becoming a mssive market in the gaming world as more cretive people are thinking of new ideas foe new games, this means more and more indie games are oming about all the time! There are many cases of small indie games sarting small and ending massive like, minecraft, super-meat boy amd many others. Indie games do not have the funding to compete with AAA games that are being produced as these 'bigger' games have always had the graphical and funding advantages, although indie games can still pack a punch as there is a whole audiance who much rather prefer indie games to the AAA blockbusters and this market is ever growing.
The impossible game
The impossible game is an indie game made and developed by FlukeDude that is small indie company and was realeased on November 23rd 2009. This happens to be the only game that they have developed but will soon produce more. In this game you are a moving cube on a platfrom based game, the aim of the game is to get passed as many obsticles as possible without dying or failing. This game is extremely addictive and very, very frustrating! The cube moves quickly and you have to perfectly time your jump over things and make sure you dont die, you can put checkpoints down but if your good you will do it in one! The music is very catchy and gets stuck in your head but can also be very distracting at the same time, it was originally a flash game but then got brought onto the ipod touch and is now on the xbox 360 indie games section and has sold millions. i bought this game on my ipod and got very addicted to it for a while, up to the point where i got really stuck and 'rage quitted' if you will. i have got the trail on the xbox 360 an strongly recomend this game it is very hard and very fun.
