Free Indie Game Friday – Moon Eyes Dead Ascension Phyta

It’s quite a tradition within the indie game scene to have a “free indie game friday” so we decided to have our very own. It’s basically us pointing you in the direction of some rather delightfully free indie games, making you play them and then you getting all excited about how free and fun they are.

If you’re wondering what the slightly odd title of this post is about, we thought we better differentiate each one of these if we are to continue doing this on a Friday from now on, so we’ll just take the first word from the title of each game and bung it together like so. Simples. Now go play this week’s games and tell us what you think of them if you so wish!

Moon Breakers by Imba Entertainment

If you like shooting spaceships and making swooshing noises then Moon Breakers is your long lost love because that’s what it is all about. It actually doubles up as a meeting ground for all of you lovers of the pewpewpew action as it’s a multiplayer game.

“As either a Government or Pirate pilot, take to the stars in single-seat starfighters and engage in epic dogfights in and around the remains of Helium-3 mining operations.”

Eyes by The Working Parts

There’s been a few of these top down horror type games using sonar to scare the crap outta us recently. Eyes from The Working Parts is a rather stellar example of that made for the Flash In A Flash competition and it’s rather good. Yes, quite.

“Just see how long you can stay hidden and go for the high score!”

Dead Meets Lead is every bit and piece of what a challenging zombie-slaying action game should be”

To finish off, we have something calming and quite soothing. Phyta has you controlling an ever-growing plant and trapping some pesky golden winged creatures in a minimalist design.

Phyta was born out of long high school bus rides and my desire to be like those cool kids over at thatgamecompany. Level 5 is the last level, by the way.”
