Roboden<\/i><\/a> is an inventive, real-time strategy game where you lead robotic colonies in conflict with enemy drones. The game plays with the RTS format in a couple of ways. First, factions are asymmetric: enemy units are not equivalent to your own. And in Roboden<\/i> you don’t directly control your units; instead, you set priorities for your fleet of autonomous drones.<\/p>\n

The latest release<\/a> introduces a new Inferno environment with new threats, like geysers, lava, and depleted resources, but with rich new rewards. See if you’re ready to face the Inferno and check out the latest Roboden release announcement on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not often we get to cover a quadruple<\/em> A game, so when we learned of Aaaaxy<\/i><\/a>, we knew we had to share it. Aaaaxy<\/i> is a non-linear, 2D puzzle platformer that is fiendishly hard to explain. The game uses traditional platformer mechanics in a decidedly non-traditional game world: a non-Euclidean space where the shortest path between two points is not always a straight line.<\/p>\n

The game is created with a number of free and open source tools:<\/p>\n
