About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Featuring lectures, postmortems and roundtables from some of the most notable independent game creators around, the Independent Games Summit is a yearly event, with iterations thus far taking place in March 2007, February 2008, March 2009 and March 2010 at Game Developers Conference.

UBM TechWeb (which curates the IGF and runs GDC) plans to continue and grow the Independent Games Summit in subsequent years.

7. Blasting Agent

Blasting Agent is an action-oriented 2D platformer with gun upgrades, collectible treasures and awesome boss battles, featuring chunky pixel art contributed by Robert Lupinek (The Cleaner). You play as a blaster-toting secret agent on a mission to save the world from being taken over by a terrorist group, which means infiltrating their secret base with guns ablazing and your adrenaline level on an all-time high.

Health can be replenished by collecting the hearts that enemies leave behind, and if you're diligent enough you might even find a special item that increases the agent's hit point counter. There are only three levels to play, but you can unlock special bonuses and secret items by completing them with the maximum score possible.

"Blasting Agent originally was far from the game that I wanted to make. It was going to be a simple team building exercise between Tim Hely and I. However like any good project we both fell in love with it, so I guess you could say Blasting Agent is our angry, angry, gun-toting love child." - Robert Lupinek
