The first Games Exchange was held at WORQ Subang Co-Working Space last Friday. Hosted by OutCrowd from Malaysia and Noble Steed from Australia, The Games Exchange is a mini indie games showcase created with the goal of sharing games outside of their respective countries.
If you missed the event, don’t worry! We’ve compiled all five Australian games that were showcased last week, and the five Malaysian games that were sent over to Australia. Make sure to check them out and drop them a wishlist!
Here’s the five Australian indie games:
1. Which Way Up: Galaxy Games from Turtle Flip Studio
Which Way Up: Galaxy Games is a family friendly party game that gives unique freedom of movement by allowing you to run on walls and ceilings, orbit around planets, or fall across entire levels by manoeuvring through gravity fields. Each event features its own unique bite-sized challenge where up to 4 players can compete locally and online!
2. Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch) from Fuzzy Ghost
Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch) is a story-based, horror-comedy set in an inner-Sydney terrace house.
