Another in our series of Ludum Dare #17 reviews, Island Planet! is a grand idea that suffers from lack of polish, from lack of time.

I'm always excited to review experimental concepts - its never about they achieve, but what they discover. Soundfight is a game that does this in an attempt to pit songs against each other in a shooter framework, but loses much "game-ness" in the process.

Another Ludum Dare 17 entry, this time a colourful puzzle game based on snake, that's short but oh-so-sweet.

Sophie Houlden has my upmost respect for the creation of The Linear RPG, which I reviewed yesterday here at IndieReview. She has my admiration even more so now with her Ludum Dare 17 entry, which is easily one of the better looking ones we have reviewed so far.

If you've ever wanted to explore the vastness of space and do it all in one go, without a heavy interface or game system to learn, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space might just be for you.

This game attempts to reduce RPGs to its simplest form, and actually manages to succeed. It is very rare that I'm giving such a small game a 4 star rating, but I really think the thought that went into its creation deserves that recognition.

Another Ludum Dare 17 entry with a nice, fast-paced twist on strategy games. Destroy your enemy's island bases while keeping your own together using resource management and tactical nukes.

Drone is an interesting blend of shooter, tower defense and real-time strategy, all packed into an elegant little package. It allows you to shoot enemies, build things to shoot enemies and upgrade to shoot enemies better, what's not to love?

A colourful, responsive and frustrating platformer for the 17th Ludum Dare competition. The theme of the competition was 'islands'. I'm not quite sure what the theme of this is.

The 48-hour game making competition, Ludum Dare, has just finished it's first competition of this year. Ludum Dare 17 boasts a whooping 208 entries based on its theme of "Islands", and they are now all available for download.

RunMan is a delightfully fun and original platform game, where speed is the key to conquering the world. The fun graphics and odd soundtrack will suck you in; the frantic, high paced gameplay will keep you going.

Probability Zero is a very difficult platformer that sports elements of RPGs, Shooters and Arcade games. Levels are auto-generated so you'll never play the same game twice, but it also maintains a constant high level of difficulty that frustrates beginners.

Aftermath is a special kind of brilliant that not everyone will appreciate, or maybe even understand, but it's one of my favourite Indie Games ever, and here's why.

A simple browser-embedded game that challenges your mouse drawing skills. Cut green spheres, divide blue spheres and avoid grey spheres using mouse click-and-drag, all in 10 seconds per level. This is one puzzle game that keeps you at the edge of your seat.

FallOver is a hilarious parody of platform games, using realistic physics to mock the genre. Unfortunately, thanks to some rather forced design choices, it doesn't come together and doesn't feel as fresh as it could have.

Redder is a peculiar platformer with a heavy emphasis on exploration. Everything is left up to the player to discover, including the goal of the game and how to progress within it. Does this makes it an intriguing game or a frustrating concept? You decide.

Olympic squared is simple one-button flash game in which you order multiple athletes to perform stunts in unison. The game is designed for repeated plays towards the achievement of high scores, but its hard to keep playing a game you get bored of so quickly.

Action Fist! is an impressive, action-packed tribute to Action Platformers of the past like Megaman and Gunstar Heroes. It might not be for everyone, but it's going to make someone very happy.

Its not everyday that we get to play shooters with puzzle elements. 10 Second War is one such game that blends skill and brainwork into one ingenious package. Don't be fooled by the name - it definitely takes more than 10 seconds to beat this one. Much more.

Avarice is a free action role-playing game in the tradition of games like Zelda. While having excellent visuals, story and combat system, the game suffers from an awkward control scheme that leaves a scar on an otherwise pleasant gaming experience.

Color Cube is an excellent puzzle game that uses three dimensional space ingeniously to create entertaining problems for the player. It's also amazingly simple to play, visually appealing and absolutely free for download.
