Join us every week for our definitive one-stop podcast to quench your thirst for outstanding independent games. From clever old school 8-bit freebies to the best and brightest indie console titles, we bring you the news so you don’t have to go looking for it. Games you’d be hard-pressed to find coverage for otherwise, the 2 Girls are there to shed the light on an oft-neglected aspect of gaming.
With Comic Jumper on the horizon, we recently got to have a chat with Mike Henry of Twisted Pixel Games to discuss game design, platforming history, Twisted Pixel’s previous titles, and a little bit about how Comic Jumper will play out. If you’re stoked for the game, then you definitely won’t want to miss this [...]
With E3 over now the two girls take a look at some of their favorite titles revealed in the big announcements, both indie and otherwise. The adventure game giveaway announced in last week’s episode comes to an end with more discussion about a few new adventure titles that have been released this week, including the [...]
This week is all about adventure games, with the girls exploring Erin Robinson’s newest creation, Puzzle Bots, as well as a few other top notch adventure games that have been released recently. In addition to great adventure games, the girls take a look at some of the great games that have been released on Steam [...]
We’re back after taking a break for zombie Jesus Day and Overlord Ror hurdling headlong toward the grave another year at a time, this time to discuss a great mixture of games and even one sent in from a fan! Thanks, Mumbles! The Indie Fund has been looming over our heads since it was announced [...]
This week the girls are joined by Mårten Stormdal and Staffan Ahlström of Fatshark to discuss their latest Wild West shooter, Lead & Gold. We also have a look at Eskil Steenberg’s newly released not so massively multiplayer MMO Love and discuss a bit of our experiences while playing the game in beta. We’ve also got [...]
It Belongs In An Ancient Ruin is a creation of a team of several DigiPen students that is definitely worth checking out. As a fan of both Indiana Jones and platformers, I enjoyed the time I spent with the game. The premise is a pretty simple twist on the oft-uttered phrase, “It belongs in a [...]
When I first saw this game, I was skeptical. It looked completely ridiculous, yet another of those games that’s more silly than it is fun. This proved not to be the case. Of course, Hungry Sumo is silly; you’re feeding rice to increase the size of a happy sumo wrestler in order to knock out [...]
Now that I have a new, pristine gaming machine, just full of life and potential for my gaming endeavors, what better way to put its prowess to the test than with a soundless Flash game? I know what you’re thinking; my indie cred has reached groundbreaking levels. In all seriousness, however, I’m a big fan [...]
Since Sarah’s out of commission while she gets a new computer, you’re left with me and my Free Game Friday picks. Do you know what I like to play? Platformers. In case it hasn’t been terribly evident in the last few Free Game Fridays, here’s a brand spankin’ new platformer to feast your eyes upon. [...]
This past Monday marked the end of the 20th Ludum Dare challenge, where indie devs are given 48 hours to create a game around a common theme. The theme for this competition was, “It’s Dangerous to go Alone! Take this!“; which is a phrase that has become a common hallmark for roguelikes and RPGs. I [...]
At the beginning of last month, I wrote a preview for an upcoming indie game called Hack, Slash, Loot. It’s a neat little roguelike that sits comfortably between not quite as short as Desktop Dungeons and not quite as involved as Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. The build that I played was an early demo [...]
Sarah and I realized trying to keep up with the news side of things on the indie scene is pretty much impossible with two people who aren’t going at it as a full-time job. We both love the scene, but sometimes its stressful trying to sort through what’s newsworthy and what’s not. That’s why we’re [...]
Grief is a puzzle platformer by Magnesium Ninja Studios that puts you in control of a small girl with a wide range of emotions that you must use to get through the levels. The developers call it optimism and pessimism and I suppose this is an accurate description, but there are also other emotions at [...]
If you’re an avid Minecraft fan, you’ve probably seen the Terraria preview that notch posted about on Twitter a few days ago. It’s an amazing 2D survival RPG that feels like it draws a lot of inspiration from Minecraft, but with significant differences that warrant a look at how the game plays. Thankfully, the game’s [...]
