    Being a giant, beloved video game site has its downsides. For example, we sometimes neglect to give independent developers our coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as we get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, we're giving indies the chance to create their own loverage and sell you, the fans, on their studios and products. This week we talk with Vlado Jokic, co-founder and El Presidente of Footloose Games about his puzzle game, Munchies' Lunch. Who are you and what do you do at Footloose Games? I'm Vlado and I'm the president and co-founder of Footloose Games. I'm a part of a small team of very talented people and I was the producer on our recently-released puzzle game Munchies' Lunch. Why did you want to make games in the first place? I would say my uncontrollable need to create, coupled with unexplored potential in the gaming medium. What's your game called, and what's it about? The game is called Munchies' Lunch and it's a unique puzzle-adventure game. While it's very simple to learn, Munchies' Lunch will take skill and patience to master. You play as Mrs. Munchie, the mother of a family that's been uprooted from their forest home. Your goal is to collect food for your kids while avoiding monsters in a grid-like field. The gameplay is focused on finding the best solution at your own pace, while taking advantage of foods with special abilities to gain an edge over your opponents.%Gallery-122329%
