Super Laser Racer

Super Mario Kart meets Geometry Wars.

I picked this indie title up for just $1 last year during the Steam Summer Sale and played a bit of it before being distracted by other things. After sitting in my Steam queue for a while I decided to pick it back up again and try to complete all of the Steam achievements. I'm very happy that I did.

This game has occupied my time quite a bit in the past few days. It's very challenging but never cheap. Super Laser Racer is a very well-balanced game. It's a bonus that the soundtrack is awesomely pumping techno as well.

Super Laser Racer is a top-down, 2D racing game in the vector-graphics style. Racers compete on a ton of unique tracks and can battle rivals using weaponry littered on the road along the way. It's a simple concept, but proven. And hella fun.

Super Laser Racer is worth the $5 base price. I'd recommend you go and buy it today. But, if you can't swing it or are waiting for a sale, add it to your Steam wishlist and Valve will email you when it's on offer.

Enjoy.

Race The Sun is Star Fox meets Sky Roads.

Fast, stylish, and endless. The premise is simple: race as quickly as you can towards the horizon so you can keep your ship powered by sunlight. Take too long and the sun will go down, leaving you in the motionless and in the dark.

Race The Sun is a full-blown version (including a fully-featured track builder) of the demo that was released, to much success, on Kongregate last year. In addition to their plans for making it onto Steam via Greenlight, they've also announced Race The Sun will be coming to Linux and maybe Ouya, as well.

There are only 10 hours left on their Kickstarter and all they're asking for is $20,000. They've already reached $17,000 as of this writing. Nail biting! I really hope they make it because I want to play this game.

I've backed this. Have you?

I don't think it's a huge secret that I love indie games. I don't think it's a secret that I love Steam, either.

Up until yesterday, I had only voted on 37 games on Steam's Greenlight leaderboard. I decided to change that. I thought it would be work, but it's actually a game in itself: voting yes or no on whether or not I'd throw cold, hard, cash at a product if it came to the Steam platform.

My goal is to vote on every single Steam Greenlight game that's available. How many are there? I have no idea. How long will it take? I have no idea.
