The Indie Game Magazine have done a mini review, and they generally liked it, saying that the ‘…puzzle gameplay feels fresh…’. They also had some criticsm, they weren’t too keen on the simple graphics and sound, but they do round off by saying that the game is definitely worth trying.

Steven Hurdle reviews BlindGiRl

glpeas — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 09:02:18 +0000

Steven Hurdle has undertaken the admirable mission to buy and try an indie game from the Xbox Indie Game Marketplace every day. His only criteria are that the game must be good, and it must NOT be in the top 50 download chart. He’s going to keep going until he runs out of games.

Today, he has reached his 64th game, which is BlindGiRl. He liked it a lot, saying that it ‘…stands out as a title with plenty of innovation..’.

Read the full review, and be sure to support Steven’s quest to give the indie channel some much needed promotion.

The art of BlindGiRl

BlindGiRl’s visuals combine the procedurally generated graphics of wave propagation and echolocation with the original, hand drawn illustrations of Elly Walton.

Elly is an established illustrator working with UK & overseas clients including The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, The Big Issue, FHM, PC Pro, Macformat, and Sky amongst many others. Her unique and wonderful style was one that we really liked and thought would fit the BlindGiRl project perfectly.

Community Review: TechnologoDoom at Gamespot

Gamespot reader ‘TechnologoDoom’ has written a community review of BlindGiRl. The review is as comprehensive and professionally written as any we’ve seen, and there are some really well thought out comments and critiques.

“BlindGiRl somehow performs a dazzling alchemy in turning what would otherwise be a rather dull maze-game into a challenging, aesthetically rich game that will leave a strong impression on the player well after you reach completion”

It’s well worth a read of the full review, and you can do so over at Gamespot.com.

E3 IndieCade footage

Gaming mega-site Gamespot stopped by the IndieCade booth at E3. They talk about BlindGiRl, but, due to some dodgy network connections on the show floor, the game isn’t running – which is a real shame. Still, it’s great to see BlindGiRl as a part of something so huge as E3.

Watch the whole video, which includes a good explanation of exactly what IndieCade is all about, over at Gamespot.
