Free Indie Game Friday – Celsius, Artillery, Starflight, Me, Abandoned
Today seems pretty dull doesn’t it? Especially as it is a Friday, but that’s about to change as we have been scouring the net for free indie games to add a little color to your life. This week is a broad mix of things, but they all seem quiet peculiar in their own way. That can probably be said every week of our picks, but seriously – a lonely malformed experiment, a Japanese schoolgirl with a super power and a guy who can’t reach doors without his shadow. That’s pretty odd.

Project Celsius was made by students as part of the Videogame Creation and Design Master Degree at Universitat Pompeu Fabra – pretty impressive work we’re sure you’ll agree.

Playing as the atypical Japanese schoolgirl with a magical power, you are tasked with slashing up robots, collecting items, talking to odd people and levelling up in this sidescrolling adventure.

Taken its cues from the old EA Starflight games, this is a continuation of the essence of those games which was started by a small group of fans in 2006, the game is currently in beta but very playable.
“Starflight – The Lost Colony is a sci-fi adventure game for a single player with space exploration, character development, alien races to encounter, and an engrossing storyline that unfolds as the player gradually explores the galaxy.”

This is a fairly original puzzle platformer in which you have to record your moves so that your shadow-self can help you progress through the levels.
“The author open sourced the game under GNU GPL. A small team picked it up and started to develop it further. The game has an interesting concept and rather unique gameplay.”
Abandoned by Joep

This is a very peculiar entry from Jeop in which you must explore the environment as you run out of oxygen, some interesting ideas in here for sure.
“Abandoned is an adventuregame about abandonment and loneliness. The player controls the result of a failed genetical experient that tries to find the exit to the lab it was born in. But all rooms are similar, and there is nobody around to help him out.”
