ISSUE #15

Cover - Kowapowa 

Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

In its simplest terms, Indiepocalypse is just a bundle of games (common thing) packaged with a zine (also common thing) about the aforementioned games and comics, reviews and more!

Each month will feature games by 10 different developers.  Each issue I hope to bring together games that explore the breadth of what our art form has to offer. 

Also, and this part is very important to me and should truly be taken as given, each contributor is paid and developers are paid royalties on all future sales.

Sextris Effect (WIN) by The Pleasure Warlock

The late 90s and early 2000s were an incredible time for games, creating both titanic franchises and floods of shovelware. Out of this endless morass of awful games, Sextris emerged as a true legend. Or, actually, several games called Sextris emerged. There are at least 3 versions of the bootleg drop puzzle, with the best known simply displaying tasteful nudes on successfully clearing lines. This was not the apex of Sextris, however. The most compelling flavor instead drops puzzle pieces designed to look like naked people in the throes of ecstasy, their bodies embracing and tangling into a mass of naked flesh as the game continues.

Perhaps you too had the experience of downloading Sextris.exe off Kazaa in 2001. You might have asked yourself the same questions I did.

Is this sexy?
Who is this for?
Why would someone make this?

It's probably best not to think about too much. SEXTRIS EFFECT drags the classic bootleg into the modern era.

Clean! Those! Kids! (WIN/MAC/Browser) by Joeri & GameJelly
