What? Huh? Oh! Neat: The 2010 IGF Student entries photo

By now, you have hopefully taken some time out of your schedule to tinker with the more interesting 2010 Independent Games Festival Main Competition entries. If not, it's never too late to remedy your gaming sin.

Today is the day when we get to look over the Student Showcase entries, all 193 of them. Holy carp, Batman! That's a lot of non-commercial interactivity. Like last time, I've skimmed through the list, opened a boatload of tabs, and come out with a handful of neat ones:

And then there's the one game I had the chance to play, Cut and Paste. It's this cool interactive flip book where, as the name implies, you cut and paste objects to solve puzzles. You could almost think of it as a point-and-click adventure game without the deep story, kind of. Try it out!

Still need to go through these. I remember playing August Wind, but I didn't enjoy it very much. I should still have the demo somewhere on my PC... maybe I need to give it a second chance.

I'm going to start with Vapor Mayhem and then check out the others. They all look kind of promising.

Just finished laying Vapor Mayhem. That thing does not have a sense of rhythm even if it's tagged as such. I cleared all the game mostly by just pressing the left arrow key and evade targets.

wow this year entries are awesome! Loved Igneous and The Last Dance. It's a pity the spanish voices in the last one, but loved the Miller's style.
