Indie Intermission – It’s Time To Take ‘The Power’ Back

Today’s game was created a little while ago and was even covered to some degree on the site.

Today’s game was created a little while ago and was even covered to some degree on the site. However this was before I got here and felt after reading Amidos’ year in reviewfor 2012 it was only appropriate to look back over one of his best games from the year (that I didn’t cover) The Power .

The Power is a very interesting metroidvania game that has a very interesting and unique art style, created by Amidos and Alexitron . The art style is fantastic and very retro as everything appears to have been created in a vector manner, with all manner of smooth empty shapes really harking back to very early video games.

Aside from the interesting graphics and nice bit tune music the game plays out very intuitively and you will fluidly move throughout the many areas in the game. The Power is a game that is great fun from start to finish and proves to be a worthy addition to the genre.

Average play time – Less than one hour

The Power has been lovingly crafted from some of the finest shapes around. It provides a really fun experience throughout and although the music may slowly start to get repetitive you can mute it so this is not too much of a problem.

I managed to stumble across The Power whilst reading over Amidos ‘ year in review and it was a compelling read, documenting the ups and downs of indie development. It really is a must for any budding indie developer as it delivers a full picture of what it’s like to try to break into the industry.

Be sure to play The Powernow as you won’t regret it, and if you want to read Amidos blog or just look over some of his other games check out his official site.
