The winners of this year’s PAX 10 independent games showcase are in! Over 150 different projects were submitted, but ultimately only ten select games made the cut. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
- CarneyVale: Showtime by the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Games Lab (Xbox 360)
- Closure by Tyler Glaiel and Jon Schubbe (PC)
- Fieldrunners by Subatomic Studios (iPhone/iPod touch)
- Liight by Studio Walljump (Wii)
- Machinarium by Amanita Design (PC)
- Osmos by Hemisphere Games (PC)
- Puzzle Bloom by Team Shotgun (PC)
- Tag: The Power of Paint by Tag Team (PC)
- Trino by Trinoteam (Xbox 360)
- What is Bothering Carl? by Story Fort (PC)
A few of these indie games are already out and ready to be played, while others on the list aren’t finished quite yet. Whatever the case may be, the links above will get you up to speed. Those attending PAX in September will have the opportunity to see them all up close and personal.
It’s great to see such a wide variety in genres and styles, and it’s always nice to find out about an interesting game you’ve somehow managed to avoid hearing about, which is the case for about half of the list for me.
