Awesome Indies: To The Moon
To the Moon is an indie Adventure RPG from Freebird Games, about two doctors traversing through the memories of a dying man to fulfill his last wish.
Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts have rather peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live. Literally.
There exists a technology that allows doctors to weave artificial memories, such that a patient can request attempts to alter their mind, and wake up with memories of things that didn’t actually happen. However, since these new memories are permanent, the conflict between them and the existing authentic memories clash in such a way that it ceases the person’s ability to properly function.
Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives… but didn’t.

![Awesome Indies: VVVVVV
VVVVVV (pronounced as “The Letter V Six Times” or “V’s”) is a 2D puzzle platform video game designed by Terry Cavanagh and scored by Magnus Pålsson.
In VVVVVV, the player controls Captain Viridian, who is lost in an alternate dimension, in search of the missing members of the spaceship’s crew. Instead of jumping, the player is able to control the direction of gravity, allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. The graphical style of VVVVVV is heavily influenced by the Commodore 64; similarly, the game’s music is entirely chiptune. [wiki]

Awesome Indies: Abobo’s Big Adventure
Abobo’s Big Adventure is a free to play in browser parody game which pays tribute to the 8-bit glory days of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). In the game Abobo’s son has been kidnapped and now it’s up to you to help Abobo fight his way through some of the greatest NES games of all time in order to rescue him.
The development of the game began way back in 2002 when Roger Barr set out to have Abobo fight his way through a variety of classic NES games in search of his lost son, Aboboy. The project was off an on until 2006 when a team of people started from scratch with one simple goal: make Abobo’s Big Adventure the ultimate tribute to the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is the game that any kid who grew up on the NES always dreamed of playing and it goes beyond anything the system ever could’ve been capable of.
