Made on the way.
Incredipede, a creative puzzle game sporting a remarkable woodcut printing art style, where you build your own creature of muscle and bone, and navigate it through twisted obstacle courses, is available 33% off on GOG.com. That's $9.99 for the next 24 hours.
Sometimes, to fully apprecciate an indie game, it's nice to know a bit about its developers. This is such a case. Colin and Sarah Northway worked on this game for four years, and in that time they lived in twelve different, more or less exotic countries. A part of game's unique mechanics could have been programmed in a small Tokyo apartment. Some of the ideas came to the Northways while they were having their morning coffee in a street bar in Istanbul. They state, however, that the city life isn't doing any favors to their creative process and the best parts of their unique game were probably made in secluded beach bungalows or woodland cottages. GOG.com has a tradition of sending holiday cards to the devs of the games we sell. Last December, when we were putting an address sticker on the envelope meant for the Northways we just had to smile, knowing it will probably never reach them. Colin and Sarah Northway, Somewhere in the World.
With an origin story like that, it's no wonder that Incredipede looks and feels different. You'll be crafting a body of meat and bone around an adorable, if not slightly creepy eyeball-creature, and making it crawl, swirl, jump, and fly across devious obstacle courses. There's a certain "eww-factor" to the game's aesthetics, but once you get used to the view of bare bones scraping the ground you might just fall in love with the unique woodcut printing art style provided to the Northways by a passionate insect photographer, Thomas Sahan. There's plenty of puzzling levels to challenge your wits in the main game, but once you're done with them you can create your own and share them over the internet, or attempt completing puzzles created by others. This way, you can stay in the oddly fascinating world of Incredipede forever!
If you like puzzles and originality in design, you just have to get Incredipede for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Thursday, March 21, at 10:59AM GMT.
Oh, and happy equinox, everyone!
