Xbox Live Indie Gems: TIC: Part 1

by Richard Mitchell on Jul 2nd 2011 6:30PM

Crowded as it is with farting massage simulators, it can be hard to find worthwhile titles on Xbox Live Indie Games. That's why we sift through all that rough to unearth a few gems. That way, you get the skinny on quality games and we get to indulge our secret passion for fart machines. This week, we take RedCandy Games' TIC: Part 1 for a spin.

In the latest episode of Xbox Live Indie Gems, we try out TIC: Part 1 from RedCandy Games. It's a 2D platformer with some challenging hovering mechanics and beautiful visuals.

Want to try out TIC: Part 1? You can queue the trial version for download here on Xbox.com! The full version is 240 MS Points ($3). If you've discovered (or created) an outstanding Xbox Live Indie Game and think it deserves some more visibility, email Richard aat joystiq dawt com, subject line "Xbox Live Indie Gems."

Christ this indie game is beautiful. You could have told me it was a live arcade game at first and i would have believed you.

@Stevetrop Man of Mystery

I agree with that this game looks great. Wish more indie games were like this one. Having said that, I recall trying out the demo and not liking it for some reason.

I want to destroy AOL and their Safe Social crap!

@Warlock234
Yeah I've seen it at least 30 times. >.

@Warlock234

Yeah, here's this tool to stalk your kids online cause you have no life, great! This is such a relevant ad.

@Warlock234
But if you don't practice safe social networking you could end up with a Social Network Transmitted Disease. Or SNTD.

@Warlock234 I don't even really get the point of a social networking-only monitoring thing. When I have kids, Facebook will be the last thing I'll worry about them using on the Internet.

MS should let indie games have achievements it would make indie games so much more fun

What a gorgeous game!

It's a gem indeed.

i bought this game when it was released but have a comment not related to the game.

apparently refreshing the page didn't work to skip the ad here on joystiq.

result, i'll no longer watch any video on joystiq. when will they ever learn ...

This game is absolutely beautiful. They have dozens upon dozens of layers of depth which really immerse you in it. For the price, it's an absolute steal and I'd recommend just about anyone try it out.

Cute game. Bought it

I have GOT to try this! Thanks for the post, I hadn't been checking Indie games recently.
