Agreed, but at least it is a relevant shameless plug. We loved BC enough to try and make a game like it, and anyone who might find Bionic Commando not their cup-o-tea might like Froggle. Or they might hate ours more.... I'd just like to find out what BC fans think.
Love the Bionic Commando Rearmed review. Been looking forward to this game for a long time, but pretty much was satisfied with the 8-bit remake last year.
Anyone interested should check out the student grappling game Froggle. It's got the swing mechanic like Bionic Commando, but uses it as a Nintendo-esque platformer. It didn't reach it's full potential either (the swing is a bit slow, the levels aren't challenging enough), but it has a funny story and the world has this playground kind of feel to it. Hopefully we see this remade like other successful DigiPen games! :)
These contests are really cool, and help show the world how a small team of highly devoted people can break the ceiling on big budget publisher funder games.
Actually, IndieCade isn't a contest. The Indie Game Developer Showcase is one I'm currently in, and there's an abundance of cool games that you can check out and download.
