May's Best Independent Games

cyrus_zuo writes "Game Tunnel has just published its May Independent Video Games Round-Up. This month's article looks at eleven indie titles including the extremely innovative The Odyssey, the overly bloody Gibbage, and the way too-cool Eets, the later of which walked away with the Game of the Month award. As always the article includes four different viewpoints on each game, giving you a variety of different opinions to agree and disagree with."

They missed stuff from Ambrosia

IMO two of the best indie games ever: Harry the Handsome Executive [ambrosiasw.com] and the EV series [ambrosiasw.com]. Sadly both are Mac OS 9.x or less (though "EV Nova" is Mac OS X/WIN compatible).

What about Ferazel's Wand? That game is so cool I would almost buy it.

Ambrosia are definitely one of the best small software houses. Freeverse [freeverse.com] are another good one. Burning Monkey Solitaire is an amazing time sink and Comic Life is pretty innovative.

Odyssey game

You should give that odyssey game a try if you like something different. You are a god who has to steer ships around obstacles from A to B by generating wind through mouse movements, and waving your hands over the seas. Its quite a nicely coded little physics thing, and a superb idea. That sort of thing should have been coded into games like Black and White or age of mythology.
