KeyWe arrived on the last day of the month, arguably the perfect delivery time for the two kiwi postal pals. Our final game for August is in fact the final game to release in August. Play if you enjoy: Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, A Hat in Time With its cute art and in-game Tamagotchi, Here Comes Niko! was an irresistible gem from this August. Work for a frog in the 3D platformer, Here Comes Niko! Promising to be a laid back adventure for lazy people, Niko will travel across six different islands to meet friends and catch bugs. If you’re looking for employment, maybe Tadpole Inc. Platforms: Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One Black Book does a lot right, and you’ll be having fun leading your own demon flock in no time. Players plough out to unravel the game's narrative, which is strengthened by deep lore. With gorgeous art, accompanied by a stellar atmosphere, Black Book is enshrined in mystique. Inspired by Slavic myths, Black Book is deckbuilding-RPG, with gameplay similar to Slay the Spire. Sometimes I put games in this list because I really like them. Play if you enjoy: VVVVVV, Thomas Was Alone A cooperative mode allows the puzzlers and platforming players to come together to conquer the world of Toodee and Topdee. Don’t want to play it alone? Have a friend pull up a chair before taking control of a character each.

Part-platformer, part-puzzler, Toodee and Topdee is stuffed full of secrets for you to crack and jump through.

Switch between the two titular characters to put their unique perspectives to use. Play if you enjoy: Tricky Towers, Jenga, creating thingsĪs a sucker for good platforming games, Toodee and Topdee caught my eye with a clever mix of, you guessed it, 2D and top-down gameplay. If all that fails though? You can enjoy the physics of smashing everything to pieces. Challenging to master, there’s a reward for getting your builds right, before creating a nice little utopia, a Tinytopia if you will. Using building blocks to create in this physics based world, Tinytopia is the sandbox version of Jenga you never knew you wanted. With a perfect blend of skill and destruction relief, Tinytopia is a little bit more fun than expected. Play if you enjoy: Jalopy, most A-roads in the United Kingdom There are certainly worse ways to spend the summer of 1996. Meet new characters as you create your unique story in Road 96. After some high praise from various outlets, Road 96 and its procedurally generated road to freedom has been a surprise hit for August. I’m sure we’ve all missed our hitchhiking road trips across the USA over the past 18 months. Whether it be due to quality, success or creativeness, these are the independent games that stood out to us over the month of August. The GameGrin Indie Spotlight aims to give attention to videogames that the independent scene has offered us over the past month.
