Early look at exploration-based indie adventure Aquaria
The gorgeous non-linear side-scrolling exploration game Aquaria (winner of the IGF Seumas McNally Grand Prize) has the indie community all atwitter anticipating its looming release. The Ambrosia Times recently got its hands on a build of the game and had nothing but praise to lavish upon it.
You play as Naija, a lonely sea creature who uses songs to affect the environment, gain temporary abilities, and interact with the creatures around you. Levels are vast with tunnels, caves, and hidden areas to explore for hours on end. Bit-Blot has been silent about a firm release date, but talk from the game's co-creator and artist Derek Yu suggests it's in the final polishing stages and could hit in just a few months.
