Ha. We beat very few of the games we play here. Don’t tell no one. I do remember level 7 of Snakebird, though. That one was rough.

Curtis the Inverted wrote a new post, Haunted PS1 Demo Disk – Part 2 1 week, 1 day ago

Continuing on from part the first, this week brings a New Batch of games from the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk. I’m really digging the “short story anthology” nature of this project. In horror fiction there’s a lot to […]

Curtis the Inverted wrote a new post, Haunted PS1 Demo Disk – Part 1 2 weeks, 3 days ago

One of the coolest things I’ve come across in the last months is the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk. It’s a compilation of a bunch of horror themed indie games in the style of the august PlayStation 1. Now, the PS1 is not […]

Do you know what was awesome? Shareware. My home-wizards and I used to pass around disks of cheap-as-free game demos of classics like Wolfenstein 3D, Scorched Earth, and (the King of Shareware) DOOM. A lot of […]

Unearthly.

Don’t mess around with unmentionable Elder Gods From Beyond Time and Space. You’d think that it would be easy to not pray to the unnameable Old Ones. But, no. There’s always some cult leader willing […]

Ain’t no party like a BitSummit river party ’cause a BitSummit river party ends in tears. So, another BitSummit has come and gone and I saw some games and I have some thoughts. Thoughts and games. That is what we […]

Five things that should be done to improve Feather from Samurai Punk:

1. More Lasers – I was disappointed to find out that there are no advanced bird mounted lasers in Feather. No weapons of any kind really. […]

One of the fundamental truths of 21st Century society is that you are always being watched. Every key press is logged. Every purchase entered into a ledger at a nameless data mining corporation (or government spy […]

Alice didn’t like being criticised, so she began asking questions. `Aren’t you sometimes frightened at being planted out here, with nobody to take care of you?’ `There’s the tree in the middle,’ said the Rose: […]

Curtis the Inverted wrote a new post, MagiCat – Mystic Hairballs 12 months ago

MagiCat from Toge Productions is simply an incredibly solid two-dimensional platformer. That sounds like faint praise, but I swear that it really isn’t. It’s the product of a single person studio and is really a […]

Curtis the Inverted wrote a new post, Roombo: First Blood – Stains on the Carpet 1 year ago

Back in the 8 and 16-bit eras there were a whole bunch of terrible jank-ass games based on the hot movies of the time. They were pretty much all terrible. Made with no doubt limited budgets and seriously limited […]

Welcome, ladies and gentlemans to Burpy Fresh Dot Com.

Cutting to the chase before I get into some more personal deals. This website has been mostly dead for the last few* months and I wish to make it […]

Monster Garden was a game I got to preview at Busan Indie Connect in September 2018. Burpy Fresh went out for Puffer Fish Soup with the developer. I don’t know if I need this disclosure or anything, mostly just […]

Okay, a couple weeks late, but here’s your Belchy Burpy Recap of Busan Indie Connect 2018!

Wooooooo!

One of the classic Indie Games, heck, perhaps even THE Classic Indie Game is Cave Story. Coming out in 2004 around the time when the internet finally got widespread and processing speeds had just made a quantum […]

Hoe Down, y’all. Play that funky music.

Went to BitSummit Volume 6 in Kyoto over the weekend. Played some great indie games, reconnected with old friends, and made some new ones. A good time was had by […]

Arkanoid is totally not my game. There was an old cabinet in the student union back in Wizard College*, and I had friends who could clear it! Much respect, because, for whatever reason, I could never figure it […]

Slimes, molds, oozes and the like are an important part of any balanced dungeon ecology. Any wizard worth his robes whips up a few in ye old laboratory for the labyrinth beneath their wizardly tower. Primarily, […]

Curtis the Inverted wrote a new post, Mr. Shifty – Nightcrawling 2 years, 1 month ago

One of my favorite games for the Sega Genesis is X-Men 2: Clone Wars. It’s a decent 16-bit platformer. One of the better licenced games, but in many ways nothing special. The reason it stands out for me is N […]

Now I first encountered Breaking Wheel from Insane Mind Games two months ago at BICFest, was on… two months ago at BICFest when my friend and I went to Busan. It was the silliest game at the festival. A game w […]
