Antipole is an indie game from Saturine Games inspired by classics like Mega Man and Super Metroid.
BoG writes is this side-scroller, where you get to shoot stuff, a winner?
Hardcore Gamer: By paying the current minimum of $4, you'll get Dead Pixels, Chester, Antipole, LaserCat, Smooth Operators: Call Center Chaos, Little Racers Street, SpyLeaks, and Orbitron: Revolution. Every game activates on Desura, while Dead Pixels is available on Steam and Chester, Smooth Operators, LRS, and SpyLeaks are on Greenlight. A mystery game will unlock at some point, and those who pay $8 or more will get the OST for GunSlugs, which would seem to indicate that GunSlugs will be the mystery game.

"Antipole has been one of the most fun platformers that I have played in quite some time. The level designs were fun and occasionally tormenting. The gameplay was deceptively simple, required a bit of finesse and demanded my full engagement. The art was atrocious and charmingly so. I really have nothing disparaging to say about this game."
Geek Pikimal: Every once in a while, I get a craving to play an old-school style 2D platformer like back when I couldn’t even see above the kitchen counter and happily thought babies came in the mail. Not the large, fancy, complex 2D platformers like Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country, what with their fancy multiple characters and abilities and hoity-toity production values. Ones like Duke Nukem (the original, not 3D) or Jane of the Jungle, the simple kind that involved running and jumping with some shooting thrown in. It’s not that these games were underdeveloped or mediocre, it’s that they had the sort of pure platforming experience that was so easily lost by additions and modifications to the formula.
