Eurogamer writes: "IndieCade dubs itself the International Festival of Independent Games, and that's exactly what it is - a boutique festival that promotes, examines, and doles out awards to the non-profit, aesthetic, political, academic and just plain go-it-alone fringes of the videogame form. As well as hosting a standalone event in Bellevue (Seattle suburb and home of Valve), IndieCade is a travelling showman, taking its gallery of gaming oddities to events like E3, the Penny Arcade Expo and Nottingham's GameCity festival, where we caught up with it at the end of October."
VGChartz's Craig Snow: "Even if you ignore mobile releases, each year hundreds of video games release. Most are probably fairly average and nondescript; a decent chunk are awful and rightly consigned to the metaphorical dustbin of history; a select few are hotly anticipated, highly acclaimed, and hugely successful commercially; some are widely anticipated but either critical or commercial duds, not so much confined to the dustbin of history as hung up in cages, to be gawped at and occasionally pelted with rotten fruit or vegetables.
But let us turn to the deserving poor; the games treasured by a small number critics and gamers alike, but which for whatever reason simply haven't received the audience they deserve. The games (almost) no one played. Here are 10 such titles from 2020."
"Another awesome month for indie games is behind us so here are our favourite indies from May 2020 in 12 distinct categories. Enjoy!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Butterscotch Shenanigans’ Steam profile states: “We make humorous, butterysmooth 2D games and inject our souls into each one.” Having played their most recent project, a platformer-maker called Levelhead, I would have to agree with this unique mission statement.
