ISSUE #16

Cover - Cam Adjodha 

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.

This Month's Games

1-DC (WIN/Linux) by 89o

The Oeuvre (WIN/Linux) by 89o

Every time you die in this simple platformer, you unlock an accessibility feature: slower game speed, easier level design, lower gravity, etc.
However, if you manage to beat a level in under the given death count, you unlock a PERMANENT movement ability. This goes from simple coyote time to advanced Whirlwind Maneuvers and Fall Stops.
