Day .. 14? - Whoops

Okay, okay, I messed up. Day 14 was not the productivity filled, action packed day I thought it'd be. On top of that.. I.. kind of forgot to post.

Okay here's what happened. The night before, I just could not sleep, so, instead of missing my classes I just opted to stay up the whole day. (which, by the way, never seems to pan out the way I'd like it to) I made it pretty far, 4:30 PM, but then, nausea. My guess is the nasty cafeteria food is to blame. I cannot remember eating there once without feeling some kind of nastiness later.

So that's my excuse. The tiredness and nausea teamed up on me and knocked me out cold.

The day is now Tuesday, and it is one of my fullest days as far as classes go, but, with all this extra time I will have this morning, I will do my best to fill in the horrible blank that is Monday.

For now, here is your Indie Game of the (yester)Day:

The Underside



The Underside is a game in the making by Arthur Brown, a.k.a Mr. Podunkian. Taking direct inspiration from Cave Story, The Underside will boast the same kind of incredibly fun exploration platformer gameplay. What The Underside will have that differentiates itself from Cave Story is still largely unknown. What is known is a profoundly entertaining sense of humor, (every joke in the demo received a hardy chuckle from me) and, judging by the preview videos, the level design and fun platforming elements look to rival that of Cave Story.
