Here we are with my very first edition of GYMP, or as you rad daddies might want to call it: GAMES YOU MUST PLAY.
I'll be taking a brief moment every so often to tell you about an outstanding game that deserves your attention. It is my opinion that if you don't play any of these games, you are a dunder head. Or a flat-head like Kaboom.
SO HERE WE GO
GYMP VOLUME 1
Tower Of Heaven
This is an AMAZING little indie game created with the shockingly flexible Game Maker software that you may have heard about or tinkered with. The team consisted of just 3 members.
Programming/Level Design/Original Concept by Aski
Art, Script & Animation by Godsavant
Music by Flashygoodness
The game features only 3 colors, simulating the old school Game Boy look. It also features one of the absolute BEST soundtracks I've ever heard in an indie game.
Fire up this video and let it play while you read the rest of this entry.
It's a total 8-bit throwback, and it's some of the catchiest stuff I've ever heard. Flashygoodness did an incredible job of building an entire soundtrack around a single melody. This is musical genius, folks.
So the game itself is a platformer with a few twists. I won't spoil any details, but you basically have to make your way to the top of a tower by going from room to room. There is a God that talks to you and defines the laws in your world. He's not a very nice guy, so he'll make laws that impede your ability to progress. It gets pretty tough, but it's certainly not impossible. This is the OLD SCHOOL kind of difficulty that makes you feel like a CHAMPION when you finally topple it.
The game is a bit short, but oh well. It's pure genius from start to finish and you simply MUST play it.
So what are you waiting for? It's free and it's a quick download.
GET ON IT.
