Horn Swaggle Islands is still at the top of the list of my personal favorite Indie Games. It recently had an update giving it a zoom feature. My brother enjoys playing zoomed up, I really don’t see the appeal – except for its intended audience: players using SDTVs. Then again, it doesn’t affect the menus, so if you were put off because you couldn’t read the text on SDTV you’re still out of luck. Horn Swaggle Islands has also just dropped from 400 Points to 240 Points!
Revenge of the Evil Aliens never got the attention I feel it deserves. It’s also among the ranks of my favorite Indies. Not only is the main game a blast, with one of the best power-up systems ever, it also has so many bonus play modes that it was an insane bargain at 200 Points. Drop Zone was in the top ten for a couple weeks, for crying out loud, and RotEA has a paratroopers mode included but gets no notice. Shameful. Well, now RotEA has dropped to 80 Points, so anyone who buys that other game instead deserves a kick in the pants.

I think the zoom feature on Horn Swaggle Islands is a good thing. The main problem I had with it was that everything was so small even on a decent sized TV that the pirate theme was all but irrelevant. Being able to see things in a bit more detail should give the game a bit more personality.
And I totally agree about Revenge of the Evil Aliens. Buy it.
