'The Free Bundle' collects free indies Nitronic Rush, Abobo's Big Adventure and more

The Free Bundle is a collection of five gratis games headlined by Nitronic Rush, the "survival driving" game from Team Nitronic, a group of DigiPen Institute of Technology students.

It also includes Flash game Abobo's Big Adventure, which sees the iconic Double Dragon foe tracking down his lost son, Aboboy. Meanwhile, Ascension is a side-scrolling horror game about a groundskeeper looking for his lost daughter on the day of a terrible incident.

Celestial Mechanica is a retro-looking puzzle-platformer, with animations done by Super Crate Box's Paul Veer. The fifth game is ImScared, a self-professed "MineCraft meets Slender" game where players navigate the spooky and seemingly abandoned halls of a massive house.

So there you go: five well-done, free games that you haven't downloaded yet because you are still reading this.

Abobo's Big Adventure begins today

Alexander Sliwinski — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:00:00 EST

Abobo's Big Adventure is ready for action. The free-to-play Flash game from I-Mockery stars Double Dragon's mega man in a mishmash of classic NES settings. He's trying to rescue his son, Aboboy, from a rogues gallery of yesteryear's best-known (and most pixelated) characters.

There are several clever details in the first few moments of the parody, including a string of suicidal baddies from Kung-Fu, an assault by Donkey Kong and the angelic deaths of Spy vs. Spy. The game may take a little while to load, but it should be worth it for aficionados of old-school.

Abobo's Big Adventure arrives on January 11

Abobo's Big Adventure is a free-to-play Flash game from I-Mockery that sends the Double Dragon strongman through a carousel of old NES settings and parodies. And if you're anything like us, you've been waiting for its release ever since that debut trailer first burned your eyeballs out with its awesomeness. Well good news, friends: The wait is almost over, as I-Mockery has announced a release date of January 11 for the title, confirmed on the official website.

The bad news is that only gives you eight too-short days to make your peace with the world before your mind succumbs to the insanity of this one as well. Better work fast.

Abobo's Big Adventure sets out with a debut trailer

David Hinkle — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:00:00 EST

You know, we'd like to think that if our son was ever kidnapped, we'd cross continents to get him back. Abobo crosses whole dimensions in the pursuit of his kidnapped offspring in Abobo's Big Adventure, an upcoming free-to-play Flash game. He also falls onto cats from outer space and eats human heads whole in one bite, though we're not sure if that's good parenting or just being a psychopath.
