"Ok, cards on the table time. This is a sick game. Twisted. Gory. And I cannot put it down! Alex Jordan (ApathyWorks) is apparently an evil genius in his spare time when he’s not developing games. Cute Things Dying Violently is what happens to Lemmings when Quentin Tarantino is allowed to direct."
Seeing as how this is the last day of 2011, it's time for Indie Theory's Favorite Games of 2011!
Welcome to a game filled with cartoon graphic violence and extreme amounts of vulgarity – a game where the help signs often don’t help, but offer instead a social commentary. Welcome to Cute Things Dying Violently.
Player Affinity writes: Sometimes you discover a game which can be summed up in just one sentence. Grand Theft Auto is one popular example – it’s (fundamentally) about stealing cars and committing crime. Grand Theft Auto. Simple. Cute Things Dying Violently is a good example of this kind of naming convention, except in this case it’s a little more straightforward – the game is about cute things, dying violently.
I have tried this game on the xbox live indie games area. This game seems to be kind of neat. I think it needs a little more polish, but has potential. It is quite hard, and I was hoping for more death animations or frames or whatever. Either way, it does have a certain fun factor. I found that after a few levels though I wanted to play something else. It is quite a hard game and not very forgiving (although I guess it doesn't need to be).
Worth checking out the trial for sure.
