All right, guys. Welcome to our Indie Mega Booth top five. Just as a note, games we've covered before are not going to be in this. So, stuff like Zing and Distance are here and they're awesome, but I'm not going to cover them in this top five because I've covered them before in the past. So, let's get right to it. The first game, and I don't usually admit this, but my favorite one here was Rockets, Rockets, Rockets. I played against Nick. Crazy game. It's all about shooting insane amount of rockets. You're this little spaceship thing, and you got to fly around. And it's all directional with a thumb stick. You pick where you fly, and it's thruster based movement. So, if you push your thumb stick in one direction, it's going to try to throw you in that direction. So, you're going to have momentum, and you're going to fly all over the place. It's tons of fun. And you're shooting an insane amount of rockets at each other. It's all about timing your shields. So, you have to pop your shield on, which doesn't last forever, and try to block either the rocket or use your timed shield to smash into the other dude while he doesn't have a shield on. And you have to try to mix that all together. And it's very fun because it's really, really, really fast-paced. It's on Steam right now for early access. They're rolling out big updates every month. I believe it's about $5 right now. Not all the features are in there obviously because it's early access which I know not a ton of us are actually fans of but it will be releasing I believe sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2015 if you're interested in it. It'll be up one to four players. There's going to have solo modes. You're going to have online multiplayer. A lot of the stuff again isn't in the game yet but tons of it will be there. So I would highly suggest checking it out. I know I'm going to. It was a lot of fun. Secondly, in no particular order, there's Assault Android Cactus, which is a super fun bullet hell with a, in my opinion, not that fantastic name, but you'll remember it. So, I guess they got that job done. It's a bullet hell where you can play one to four players. With four players, it's more of kind of like a party mode with an insane amount of enemies. And with one player, it's more tactical and and precise, and you have to be very careful. It's interesting. Tons of different levels, boss modes, all that kind of stuff. And I'm pretty sure they're going to have online multiplayer later. I believe it's in early access right now, so I believe you can check it out on Steam. So yeah, if you're into Bullet Hills, maybe check that out.

Then we come to Darknet, a hacker game, but a Hollywood hacker game like pretty much all of them are. The idea is it's a VR game in Oculus. It's coming to whatever platform it's supported in later on. They're pretty much just tying themselves to VR in general. And it's a it's a puzzle game. You get different things like worms and viruses and all that kind of stuff. You have to go through and take over nodes. You get money from taking over the nodes and you can buy more viruses and whatnot. It's fairly standard puzzle game, but it is in kind of like a hacker environment. So, if you're into that kind of scene, maybe you'd like it. Check it out on Steam. I believe it's in early access. Not now, but he said soon. So, whenever that is. And last but not least is Super Meat Boy Forever. This isn't necessarily a new idea as it's Super Meat Boy, but the idea behind it is that you pick kind of a difficult difficulty or a zone and then it just randomly generates the levels for you. That's why it's called Forever. You could potentially play this game forever. And I expect quite a few of my friends to pretty much do that. I have quite a few people that I know that love Super Me Boy, including Lionus.
