On indie games and why I play them

I’m not an avid gamer. I once got addicted to Word Mole on my old Blackberry – it’s embarrassing, but I couldn’t stop playing it. Now, and for the first time, my gaming interest has been fully seized and I’m left wanting more. This is how a new generation of game developers are making their mark in the saturated realm of mobile games, and creating games that are not only beautiful to look at, but intuitive to play.

These indie game developers are taking a new approach when it comes to the user experience and the function of the games they create. Their approach is a fresh one, where good design and aesthetics take charge to create something that is surprising and different. Their design philosophy is something not only seasoned gamers could appreciate, but in fact anyone who appreciates good design and a fresh ideas.
