toH reupS

HA, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE RID OF ME, WRONG
YOU THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER, AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you like those parts in the matrix with the slow-mo? Where whatshisface THE ONE basically side steps between bullets and he doesn't even care? Of course you did, everyone did. Thats why there were movie parodies for years after. That game today is basically that, and it's called SUPER
 HOT, SO STRAP IN.
 Super Hot's deal is that it's you against red bad dudes with guns, but with the added gimmick that time only moves when YOU move, so every level is basically a puzzle made of MURDER. "Wow, how the hell does THAT work?" you wonder? Well check this shit out.

Pretty much  "Damn that looks neat, I want to play this immediately". Lucky you, you can play this right from your browser. So if you like action movies, unconventional puzzles, minimalist art styles, slow-motion, and the color red, then SUPER HOT is for you. Hey, and they're also trying to get enough funding to make this prototype into a full blown game, so if you like what you see, you can throw money at it if you want.

Copious amounts of blue and orange with some red mixed in

HEY! You know what I havent done in a while?
"Updated?"
Well, yes. Also screw you. What I meant is that I haven't  had an update with a game from Digipen in a long time. So when I saw that today's game was made there, it's like killing two birds with one stone!
Don't kill birds with stones
The game for today is IGNEOUS, and its all about volcano, fire, and going fast. It'd also consider it a INDIE PLATFORMER, but since it isn't RETRO it doesn't get the trifecta. Here's a video.

It looks pretty good, I'd almost call it...ingenious.
"SHAME ON YOU"
Anyway. As you can see the game, while pretty straight forward, was great enough to win awards, and the team of students that made the game called themselves "Going down in flames", and with a name like that you know these guys clearly knew what they were doing.
"This is your captain speaking: everything is fiiiiiiiine"
Do you like Tiki idols? Volcanoes? GOING FAST? Then Igneous is for you, because it has all of those things.
WOOOOOO
You can get Igneous here
