MadOctopus quirky indie collection

If you like small indie games built around a clear job to do, these nine MadOctopus releases give you plenty to try. Forest Hustle, Trees Inc and Cobalt Miner all revolve around collecting materials, improving equipment and handing tasks to helpers to clear a balance or raise output. Around them you get different tones, from the landscape-mending puzzles of Aarik And The Ruined Kingdom to the coastal artillery battles of Battlements and the tense hidden-object search of Secret Seeker.
