Check ‘em out!


Magical Diary



Magical Diary features a player-designed witch attending a school for magic in the mountains of Vermont. Arrange your studies to learn the spells of your choice and apply them in exams held in the school dungeons. Along the way, you can make new friends, run for class office, romance male or female characters, and try to find a date for the May Day Ball. But be careful! You might end up in detention, be lured into a secret society, be forced to marry your professor or have your mind and your magic stolen away…


NEO Scavenger (Early Access Game)



NEO Scavenger is an early access game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. In each turn you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. With each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!


Offspring Fling!



Offspring Fling! is a game about a poor forest creature that has misplaced all of her children. She’ll have to fight her way through over 100 levels of action puzzle platforming to get them all back home. There’s danger around every corner, but she won’t rest until her family is safe again. Offspring Fling also comes with a level editor for infinite possibilities!


Planet Stronghold



Planet Stronghold is a sci-fi role-playing game with a turn-based combat system. You take the role of a young, new recruit that somehow gets assigned to the most well-known, and well-defended, human outpost in the whole galaxy: Planet Stronghold. As the story goes on, you will have to choose a side in a war that will change the destiny of the planet and humankind – forever.


Featuring old-school turn based tactical battles, a dynamic plot that changes based on your choices and several possible solutions to each situation using various non-combat skills, Planet Stronghold delivers a very high replayability!


Anodyne



Anodyne is a 2-D puzzle-adventure game where you play as Young and explore his uneasy subconsciousness. Armed with a good ol’ broom, Young sets off to protect the Briar from The Darkness. The game balances exploration with puzzle-solving as your broom goes from weapon to dust-shifting device. Be sure to leave nothing unturned as you travel through dark dungeons, dainty villages and vast fields. Japanese translation included and localized by Kakehashi Games!


Note: Anodyne uses Adobe AIR.


An exclusive demo of Even the Ocean is available on Windows and Mac for all purchasers.


Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten



Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten is a tower defense/RPG hybrid that focuses on three things: tactical depth, customization and story. That means no random encounters, no spikey-haired emo kids, no forced time sinks and no tedious or repetitive battles.


The battle system builds off of tower defense, with individual characters taking the place of towers. Characters level-up, learn skills and equip gear individually, allowing the player to customize their battle experience and strategy. The overall game structure is similar to “tactical” RPGs, but with a real-time battle system. Game speed is adjustable and commands can even be issued while the game is paused.


Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten also features an engaging, character-driven story written by an actual English major!


Evoland



Evoland continues the story that began in Evoland Classic, taking you further along the history of action adventure gaming, adding collectible items, new monsters and bosses and, more importantly, new gameplay features and full 3-D environments! New players will discover more about video game history and experience entertaining and creative gameplay. Veterans will also enjoy a host of nostalgic references to legendary titles scattered along the game.


Incredipede



Incredipede is an inventive puzzler where you control Quozzle, the quirky and lovable incredipede, as she journeys through nature on a quest to find her long lost sisters. Each level starts with a pre-made Quozzle with different capabilities and strengths. It’s up to you to master Quozzle’s limbs, collect fruit and complete each level.


The Humble Weekly Sale: Celebrating Open Source is here for one week and ends Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time!
