The Blue Flamingo

Nuuvem is offering The Blue Flamingo at 100% off right now. It's an arcade shooter from Might and Delight. What sets this one apart is that the graphics are almost entirely made from handcrafted miniatures, the setting was actually filmed on a 32-foot-long model track, and the explosions were filmed fireworks and the like. There's also an interesting system allowing you to spend some of your score on upgrades, or earn interest for not spending it, forcing you to find the proper balance between upgrades and skill.

Freebies!

So, I've decided to go a new direction with this blog. Who knows how long it will last. But for now, free games! I will be posting games that normally have a price tag, but for some reason right now do not. These will be from sites like Steam, Desura, and other indie sites. Maybe there will be a big brand name now and then, who knows. So, without further ado...

Today's freebie is Stars Wagon, normally $2.99, available free on Desura right now.

From the site's description:

Control the forces of the enlightened beings of the aurora system and fight creatures called “Dark Ones” who wish to consume the light in the universe.

Stars Wagon is a fast paced scroll shooter game set in the space; its game mechanics involve flying a spaceship and switching its color in different situations, offering a unique and engaging game experience.

Features:
- STORY MODE: 14 levels with 7 boss fights.
- SURVIVAL MODE: 3 difficulty levels.
- CHALLENGE MODE: 12 levels.
- Controller (gamepad) support.
- Hours of entertainment.
