  | Art Games: Best Indy TitlesAugust 1st, 2007 |
This is very flattering. Mentisworks has done a selection of the best indie “art games” which is featured on the front of Indygamer. Andean Bird placed on the list, alongside titles like Facade, Flow, Raspberry, The Endless Forest, The Marriage, and many more intriguing titles. Given that the Bird is still at version 0.5, that’s quite august company to be keeping.
Quite unlike anything else out there, Andean Bird offers a leisurely glide across the landscape to the accompaniment of beautiful music. It does manage to instill some of the qualities of flight, yet that same endeavor is hampered by its lack of fullscreen capability.
Hmm. Fullscreen is about two lines of code, I should add that.
Anyway, the latest version is 0.5, and it’s here (PC only, zip file… sorry, I haven’t compiled a Mac version in eons).
