• The 50 Best Free Games On PC - 16 October 2015

  The best free games are on PC, and if you want to know what the best 50 are then you’ve come to the right place. …

• Wot I Think: Luftrausers - 18 March 2014

  Is it a bird? No. Is it a plane? No, not really. Is it a sort of pogoing, semi-submersible death machine? Yeah, pretty much. It’s also the new game from Vlambeer, and it’s out today . Here’s what I made of it. …

• Interview: Jan Willem Nijman On Nuclear Throne’s “Feel” - 21 October 2013

  Nuclear Throne is an “action roguelike-like”: a top-down shooter with permadeath, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and starring a cast of mutants who need to hoover up radiation to gain in power. It’s fast, frantic, and made by Vlambeer , the two-man indie development studio behind similarly compulsive shooters Super Crate Box and LUFTRAUSER . Nuclear Throne (formerly Wasteland Kings) is currently available in Steam Early Access, and like those other games, it already feels great. “Feel” is a poisonous word in games criticism though, and I was unsatisfied with the normal language used to describe games like this: “meaty”, “weighty” and “crunchy” only gets us so far. I wrote to Vlambeer game designer Jan Willem Nijman about how you make pixels bullets feel powerful, and about finding a better language to talk about vide…

• Wasteland Kings Is Vlambeer’s All-Star Roguelike - 19 August 2013

  VLAMBEER NEVER STOPS. I know. They told me so . Seriously though, Luftrausers isn’t even off the launchpad yet, and the Super Crate Box developer is already making admirable progress on a very impressive-looking action-roguelike called Wasteland Kings . I actually had the chance to play it and discuss its various ins-and-outs with Vlambeer recently, so expect impressions very soon. But until then, know this: it’s a rapid-fire, deliciously crunchy randomized romp starring a cavalcade of characters from Vlambeer’s past. And the craziest part? The arcade action maestros are going to stream a very large portion of its development – with you playing along at home via Steam Early Access. (more…)

• The Story Of The World’s Unluckiest Game Developers - 26 July 2013

  Ever had one of those days where it feels like the whole world’s out to get you? Like you just can’t win? Like you are a magnet whose polarity is perfectly calibrated to attract gigantic, writhing jerkswarms who will stop at nothing to steal everything you love? Congratulations: you might be Super Crate Box and LUFTRAUSERS (among many, many other things) developer Vlambeer. Between countless clones and a recent theft of what basically amounted to their entire company during E3, the two-man team has been plagued by a string of bad luck so crushing that you’d think it was a giant joke. So Rami Ismail and JW Nijman laugh at it. They laugh and count their blessings. (more…)

• Six Seconds Is Enough to Convince Me This is the Best Fishing Game Ever - 5 March 2013

  From Vlambeer, creators of Super Crate Box — well heck, that opening bit alone is convincing enough, but look at the video anyway. Ridiculous Fishing hits iOS on March 14.

• The Real Reason We Hate Easy Achievements - 8 November 2012

  You know the ones. Sometimes you start a new game, and a few minutes in—before you even do anything—and ping! Achievement Unlocked. Congrats, you earned that achievement by, um, existing? It's achievements like that, the gamer community at large seems to have decided, that give achievements a bad name. Developers give them out willy-nilly, and in doing so, these achievements mean less. Hold up, Super Crate Box developer Rami Ismail says. What assumptions might we be making there about the people playing the game? As a different developer put it on Twitter recently, A big issue with entering into an existing genre is the 50 item deep list of 'expectations'. — Daniel Cook (@danctheduck) November 7, 2012 Ismail illustrates this point further on his blog by telling us the story of his girlfriend picking up Assassin's Creed 2. As every gamer knows, it's tough to sit back an…

• The Ultimate PlayStation Mobile Launch Game Guide - 5 October 2012

  Earlier this week Sony unleashed 20 (mostly) new games on PlayStation Mobile, the new indie game delivery platform for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Certified devices. That's a lot of games to take in all at once, so we did it for you. We played every game available on PlayStation Mobile so you didn't have to, putting the fresh batch of titles through their paces on both the Vita and an Xperia Ion from Sony. Let's see what games are worth your hard-earned pocket change. Aside from Super Crate Box , of course. Aqua Kitty — Milk Mine Defender Developer: Tikipod Price: $3.49 The last word in the title is key. This game is like the classic arcade side-scrolling shooter Defender . Except it stars cats. Who mine. Underwater. For milk. The pixel art is retro. The controls are simple and well-mapped to the Vita's sticks and buttons. This is a good arcade-style throwback, wrapped in…
