Joystiq - Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy -- and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Antipole.
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.
Leland Flynn from TPG writes:
"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."
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?
