Steam Indie Update: Fortix

This little high fantasy remake of the old Qix arcade game is now available on the Steam platform. The game was previously released as a PSP mini and looks to be making its way to XBox LIVE in some form eventually. The basic objective of the game is to take control of a knight, claim territories, and assault the central fort. The game was developed by the independent Hungarian developer Nemesys Team Studio and is available now for $3.99.

ABOUT THE GAME

Can you reclaim your ancestors’ land? Evil forces have taken over the once fertile land of Fortiana. You are the only one who can storm the castles and claw it back from the hordes of dragons. Experience a new type of strategy and arcade game. Fence off parts of the battlefield to corner your enemies. Collect catapults and power-ups to besiege the fortresses and take on dragons. But beware! As you progress through the levels it gets harder and harder. The fortresses become much larger and the monsters more vicious. Can you emerge victorious and reclaim the land of your ancestors? You are knight Fortix, the sole hope for the desolate and tortured land of Fortiana to become the fertile land that it was before.

Flamin’ Hot Cheat Codes

Been a slow couple of days on the indie news front (as if you hadn’t noticed) In fact, I’m not sure we’ve ever, in our extensive 3 month stint, experienced a week with so few releases. Brooks is blaming it all on Dream Build Play, which seems to be a perfectly fine goat to scape to me so I’ll go along with it. Fortunately, we got a little bit of a chip tune bail out from Beep City who has released Moldilox’ debut album Flamin’ Hot Cheat Codes. I don’t even know what that title means, but I do know I like chiptunes, so whatever.

Here are a couple sample tracks along with some more information below, be sure to check out the full album available for free over at Beep City.

01. Wistful Woods

04. Alleycat Shakedown
