You can play for free: Gamma4’s ‘Best of the Rest’

If Anthony weren’t so busy turbo-suing Gaijin Games (and getting counter-turbo-sued in the process) he might have taken the time to notice that he’s not the only Destructoid veteran making indie games: Our very own Gangles has a number of games to his credit under his NoFunGames label, including Norwegian Wood and, most recently, Pax Britannica.

How do I know? Well, mostly because I read his blog and follow him on Twitter. But also because IndieGames.com has included Pax Brittanica in their “Best of the Rest” list — a handful of freeware Gamma4 applicants that didn’t quite make it to the showcase at GDC but nevertheless deserve your time and attention.

And probably your money, too.

In case you haven’t been reading Anthony’s coverage of the Gamma4 competition (and shame on you!), all games submitted must be playable with one button. So, there’s no excuse not to give Pax Brittanica a try, unless you don’t have four friends.

While you’re at it, be sure to check out Beau Blyth’s Fish Face, Imwill Games’ BiBimBap Arcade, Shaun Pauley’s Boyfriend vs. Girlfriend, and Nick Rudzicz’ The American Dream: Are We Not Drawn Onward to New Era?. They’re all free, easily downloadable, and at least marginally interesting.

There’s no better time than now to start following Ryan O’Donnell’s advice, I suppose.
