Dyadin

Puzzle
Single Player - No
Multiplayer - Yes

Theme: Science Fiction

Story

Within the depths of space and time, two planets converge upon one another unexpectedly, throwing the laws of physics into chaotic motion. As the planets slip faster and faster towards one another, a violent phenomenon takes place. The worlds collide, but with such force and magnitude that both planets fuse with one another, creating a unique and strange place.

We find our characters trapped amongst the chaos, struggling to figure out the new laws of their once beloved home. For the first time, they discover each other's presence. They are in awe. As they become more familiar with their surroundings, they find they have the power to affect their environment based on their proximity and color. With these newly discovered powers, they set out to uncover the source of this destruction and hopefully the means to restore peace and order to their lives and home.

Gameplay Description

Dyadin is an action puzzle game for two players (two players, no more no less). The game should preferrably be played on two PCs located next to each other, although it is possible to play one one computer.

Each player controls one character on a movement plane. This means that while the two players can move to the same places sometimes, they can't always because their two worlds don't always overlap completely.

In each level the two characters have to be standing in the goal zone. To get to the goal the players often have to shatter glass barriers, something that depending on the colour of the glass one of the two can do, or the two have do together while either standing very close together, or a little bit apart. When the two characters are very close together they are yellow, a bit further apart is green, and furthest is blue. To shatter the glass barriers all the players have to do is make a mouse click which will make their characters send out a so called "ping" which will shatter glass under the right circumstances, and also kill enemies.

Process

Adventure
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No

Theme: Cyberpunk
Theme: Science Fiction
Theme: Horror

Process - is a game project in the adventure genre; its story takes place in several subway train cars. In 20 minutes a disaster will happen - the train will jump the tracks at full speed. The gameplay takes exactly the time designated before the crash. During this period in grim dimly lit interiors, combining cyberpunk and industrial aesthetics, the player is to figure out the situation, try all possible means of rescue and in the end take a brand new look at the portrayed events. It's a game about predetermination of events and the subjectiveness of perception of the surrounding world.

Truth is, it's hard to position the project as a full-fledged game. "Process" is more of an interactive installation or a small graphic novel. But technologically it's a classic first person adventure, panoramic locations with the capability of free 360 view and discreet movement between the panoramas through a point-and-click interface.

The "Process" project is developed by TrainYard - a small team of independent game developers. Development is done remotely, in free time from main work.

Back To Bed

Puzzle
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No

Theme: Weird

Dreams are weird. When you’re in them, everything makes perfect sense: eyeball monsters, people with praying mantis bodies, random celebrities just hanging out in your living room – who are, in turn, also eyeball-coated praying mantis demons. It’s all just so matter-of-fact. And then you wake up, chuckle dryly at the ridiculousness of it all, and drive to your therapy session. That’s more or less the feeling Back To Bed attempts to capture, and it does so shockingly well in the grand scheme of trippy dream sequence games.

You play as the “subconscious protector” of a man named Bob who can’t stop sleepwalking to his untimely demise. And yeah, there are melting clocks everywhere and tophat birds that I wish were real so I could have one as a pet, but the real stars here are the little things. The vaguely unsettling, word-slurring narrator, for instance, won’t be mistaken for Rucks from Bastion any time soon. Puzzles, meanwhile, give your spatial reasoning brain biceps quite a workout – though the perspective caused me to put objects in the wrong places a few times. Beyond minor frustrations, however, it’s a fun, semi-demented little puzzler with a bizarre sense of style. - RPS.com

Megazell's Comment - This is now the 4th game I posted that allows you to use a Wii remote settings. Most ppl don't know but there are motion controllers for the PC. In fact they been around since the late 90's. Action XL is one of the cheapest and can be found for as low as $14.99 in some circles. I don't usually play with them must but the kids like them a lot. Especially for games like this one and others on this list like 'De Blob'.

Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment

Adventure
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly

Theme: Science Fiction

It is a time of turmoil in the galaxy. Following the disappearance of the Defender of the Universe, the Galactic Presidency has been dissolved and anarchy reigns. With the galaxy divided into three distinct zones, the Galactic Police and the Culthorpe pirate family are engaged in a cold war from across the Lifeless Zone. Life has never been more dangerous for the people of the universe, doubly so for those who make a living flying from planet to planet. And to make matters worse, an invisible conspiracy is threatening life itself.

None of which means anything to Daniel Gordon, earthling and wage slave, whose major concern is keeping hold of his pension plan. That is until he is unexpectedly abducted by the galaxy's premier employment agency and finds himself stuck with a crew of misfit mercenaries on a cargo transporter built more like a skip with thrusters. Will he get back to Earth in time for the meeting with his boss? Or will his adventure be cut short?

Great thread, how did I miss this one? Just wondering since you seem to have amassed a huge library here of freeware games - which ones are your favorite? Do you have a top 10 freeware games list somewhere or something? I would be interested in what you think are the best games.

Hey,

Hope you find something you like. When it comes to my favorite games I usually put on the top of the post 'Megazell's Top Pick' - Which means this is a game that I enjoy playing quite often.

There are a ton on this list.

Currently, I am enjoying Quake Live to quench my FPS thirst. Bonesaw would be my favorite platformer...there are quite a few as you go through the list you will see plenty that I have highlighted.

In case you did not know - Use the front page to take a look at all of the game listed by genre and in alphabetical order along with spotlights on websites and software to help making PC gaming better.

Thanks. Yeah I saw you labeling some that you like, just wondering if you had a top list since there's so many, lol. I've looked around the net and there's a lot of different games with a few standouts that almost everyone lists, like Cave Story.

Yeah, I do have a list but it changes month to month as I end a game and move on. I am very much into short games.

I will say this if you like 2D platform games and surreal horror games try 1213. It's one of the finer games out there that seems to be over looked.

RTS - Try 'Attack Of The Paper Zombies' to this day I have yet to defeat the last mission it is very very brutal.

Cave Story is a great game but it's not my favorite. When I have time I will post up my top 10...I was asked that before on here and I did put up my list at the time but most of those games I have completed.

Thanks, I would be interested to see what your favorites are. I am like you though, I'm into short games with good replay-ability. I'm not really into Real time strategy, unless its RTS lite or something where its really easy to pick up and play.

I found a good site with a HUGE database of indie (mostly freeware) games that people can review, the forums and regular home page for it is pretty great as well:

http://db.tigsource.com/top?page=1

You may already know of that site, but its pretty good.
