TFI Friday: 3 indie games to get your creative juices flowingDon’t leave your creative juice on the floor though, it’s a slipping hazard
Don’t leave your creative juice on the floor though, it’s a slipping hazard
These past few weeks, I’ve felt myself to be in a bit of a creative funk, dear readers, but thankfully this doesn’t seem to be the case for today’s game developers. It seems they’re still in full flow, as it were, and this week I’ve got a trio of nice things to play that’ll hopefully kickstart your heart and get you in the mood to make something. They did for me, anyway.

Incredibox
Incredibox came to mobile phones like over a decade ago, which is bananas, but it’s new tome, dammit. For fans ofFuser, or fans of just sitting and, fucking,vibing, this is a mix ‘n’ match beatbox-box with all the hard work done for you. Not least of all: learning to beatbox.
Copy Editor
Copy Editor is a puzzle game, but one about editing swathes of text. I feel, as one says, very attacked right now. Rather than proofing, though, you’re correcting, as efficiently as possible. The computer has highlighted the issues, and you need to use strings of commands to make the computer do the thing you want it to do.
For example, in the picture above (which is one of the first early tutorials) George Eliot’s pronouns need to be changed, but you have to fine tune the commands or you’ll replace some that should stay as they are. It’s tricky and finicky, and though it’s still in early access, Copy Editor will definitely appeal to fans of a bit of sudoku, or other cross-referency logic puzzles. Technically speaking writing isn’t that much like sudoku, but it’s notnotlike sudoku?
