Weekly Download: Igneous

Igneous is a project by a group of DigiPen students which is claimed to have face-melting powers. You are a totem, and the underground world you reside in is, uhh, kind of exploding. Luckily you have the power of… rolling, and jumping! Unluckily, this underground world is really, really exploding hard. Blocks and rocks are flying everywhere, and the ground is literally falling away underneath you. The gameplay is incredibly frantic, the graphics are incredibly beautiful, and the physics are entirely frightening. The game is unforgiving, and this can be frustrating, but the rush it gives you will indeed melt your face.

Weekly Download: NaturalMotion Endorphin Learning Edition

You might have heard of this little piece of software before, it has been used to great effect in games such as GTA IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and even in movies. The company behind the software, NaturalMotion, naturally, has been kind enough to use a free version of their animation software to mess around with, with the only limitation being that you can only render your creation out to a video file. This is a fully functioning professional piece of software, so it isn’t very easy to learn, but as you can see, the results can be totally freaking rad.

Weekly Download: Numpty Physics

In the spirit of Crayon Physics and Magic Pen comes Numpty Physics, another ‘draw and play’ physics game. What sets this one apart from the others? Well the creator claims not to have played them, so at the very least you’ll get a bunch more brainteasing levels. It also works a little different, and it’s free, so you really don’t have anything to lose. Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Also, it has a funny name.
