Browser Game Pick: IncrediBots (Grubby Games)

Fans of Fantastic Contraption, Phun, or just about any physics-based sandbox game may want to sneak a peek at Grubby Games' IncrediBots. The latest beta build offers eight tutorial levels, nine challenges with multiple difficulty settings, and a sandbox mode which can be used to create robots of any size, shape and function to share with other users.

A simple registration process is required to save robots and replays created in sandbox mode, although this step is hassle-free and doesn't involve replying to email validation requests. (manual)

Browser Game Pick: Little Sh*t Planet (Farbs)

Untitled from cave on Vimeo.

Warning: contains strong language.

Little Shit Planet is a new episodic Flash game created by the developer of Rom Check Fail, where the story of the copyright-infringing protagonist named Crap Boy is told through a series of blog postings and small games which players can interact with. Hints on completing your assigned objectives might be peppered around the stage, told through cut scenes and perhaps even explained ambiguously in written text as well.

The first chapter involves riding up a huge half-pipe to reach the cockpit of the ship you're in with the use of only one button, but more content and a continuation of the tale can be expected from Farbs in the coming days.

Preview: Upcoming Releases

from left to right: Mega Panda, Conflux, Lil Sprout (Lexaloffle Games)

Mega Panda: Any game with the word Panda in its title is one that will interest me; I like cute fluffy creatures. "A puzzle game in the same as Chocolate Castle and Zen Puzzle Garden. Comes with a set of hand-designed puzzles and an editor. The player can scoop up and merge a few pandas to produce a single, larger panda. The goal is to do this until there is only one, very big 'mega-panda' remaining."

Conflux: "An ecological action game. The player takes control of a powerful peacock-like creature whose task is to manage an ecosystem of increasing complexity. Every now and then a new species is added to the mix, and it's up to you to maintain the balance."

Lil Sprout: "Lil Sprout is based on a Ludum Dare 48h entry made a couple of years ago, called Super Sprout. The new game is about growing impressive plants out of your head."
