Dead Cyborg 1: The Beginning of the Death

Dead Cyborg might seem like just another first person shooting game, but it actually has its charm. Developed by Barathe Endre, only the first episode is finished so far but it's been receiving good reviews since it first came out. This science fiction shooter game is offered at a pay-what-you-want download. All the donations are used to help fund the development of the succeeding episodes; with each episode geared at providing at least 2-3 hours worth of gameplay. The game works on a variety of systems including the top three: Linux, Windows and Mac and is certainly worth checking out.

Dizzypad

Dizzypad is a pretty cool free iPad/iPhone game that you'll surely get addicted to. The game was created by Nimblebit, the same company that developed the wildly popular Pocket Frogs. If you're familiar with Koi Pond and Doodle Jump, Dizzypad is touted as a hybrid of both. It combines the beautiful and serene atmosphere of the former with the insane, precision gameplay of the latter; giving birth to an exciting game that's plenty of fun to play. Your main objective is basically to jump from one lily pad to another without falling into the water. If you're thinking this is too simple, well, in a way it is. Nevertheless, you're in for a treat once you give it a go.

Break

Most of you might be familiar of the retro game, Arkanoid. The main point of the game was to bounce a ball off a moving platform in order to break down various colored bricks. This was a very popular game during the time and quite a lot of remakes were done along with a similar gameplay. Break is another one of these remakes but this time, it's set and made perfect for the iPad platform. The game was developed by Jirbo Inc. and made available as a free download on iTunes. It works on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. If you are too young to remember Arkanoid, then you might want to give this game a try. Definitely good fun.

Survival

What would you do if you're a highschool student who wakes up from a deep slumber to find out you're the only one left at school? What's worse is that there are blue ghosts coming after you! Survival places you in the shoes of Satoshi, a highschool student who falls asleep during class to wake up that her school is deserted and infested with blue ghosts that are out to kill her. This adventure horror game isn't that long but you'll definitely have fun with it. The game is offered absolutely free. Simply hit the download game link right above the image if you want to give this one a try.

The Machine

The Machine is a colorful new game that you can download and play for free. Even though it's just a demo, it's still pretty entertaining and worth checking out. The game is very logical so don't expect to figure this one out via hit or miss. In the game, you are an assigned engineer who creates blocks, both colored and not colored. Your job though consists of creating a machine to create the blocks that you need. You'll have several parts at your disposal that you would need to assemble and put together the machine in order to start production.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia might not be the next big horror game to watch out for, but it's certainly worth looking into. The game is offered as as free download and initially came out last year. In the game, you play as Shaun Randall, a retired military servicemen who ends up leading a boring, albeit slightly normal life; that is, until you are euthanised and killed. Then you start seeing the weird and the creepy, leaving you with a confusing but all too real dream. The latest version works great but you have to manually replace certain patches in order to make it fully playable. Despite the slight trouble of manually doing this, the game is certainly a must-try.

Subsonic

Subsonic takes the whole idea of stealth games a bit further. Normally, when you play games like this, there's usually some device that you use to keep your noise level down. Whether it's as simple as footpads or some hi-tech gadget that cushions your footsteps, hardly anybody in the game world has ever thought of actually creating a gadget that sees soundwaves. Well, until now, that is. In Subsonic, you play an agent for a group of merceneries who specializes in sound technology. Equipped with your sound-vision goggles, your task is to finish the objective for any particular level and get out alive.

Youdunnit

If you hate figuring out games, then stay clear from Youdunnit. This is perhaps one of the most confusing indie games out there. However, if you are up for a little challenge and don't mind taking a Tylenol or two, this game would be right up your alley. The game was created under 48 hours so don't expect it to be perfect. In fact, it's this confusing gameplay and headache inducing storyline that makes the game quite intriguing. It was created as an entry for the Global Jam Games and since then has gained notoriety among indie gamers as a weird yet must-try murder "mystery" game.

Trapped

Unlike most space shooters, Trapped is simply a tad bit confusing. The game doesn't just rely on you killing the enemy, you have to execute some special action before you can successfully eliminate them, protect your ship, and make a clean getaway. The game was created by Wiebo de Wit and was released just a couple of weeks ago. It's still currently being updated for any new bug fixes and other improvements that can be done. It's a cool shooter game though that's perfect when you're on break. Give it a quick download and see if you can crack this one.
