Test your intelligent design!

Incredipede, an imaginative puzzle game with unique mechanics and remarkable art style, is now available on GOG.com 20% off. That's only $11.99 until Thursday, November 1, at 10:59AM GMT.

Creatures changing their ways and their physique over thousands of generations, adjusting to their ever-changing natural habitat? How impractical! Had there been a chasm in their path, they would have to wait hundreds of years and sacrifice countless legions of their brethren on futile attempts to get to the other side, before one of them was finally born with legs strong enough to complete the task. What a waste of time and energy. Why in the world would you want to wait for them to learn to solve their problems on their own? That's not the way nature works, I tell you. If they need need wings, give them wings! If they need gills, just strap some on them! Ha! Evolution--what a laughable concept.

Incredipede is an exceptional game on many levels. The first thing that instantly stands out is its art style. The world of Incredipede looks like a woodcut illustration of some XVIII century book. The unique look of this game is easily matched by its original concept. You help a strange creature named Quozzle reach its goal in a multitude of cleverly designed stages. To do so, you equip it with extra limbs and strap muscles on its body, to handcraft it into a fantastic specimen designed exclusively to conquer the obstacles at hand. But there's still a whole other layer to the game. The ability to produce your own levels and creatures, share them online, and browse other players' creations and solutions, make Incredipede a limitless sandbox for devious puzzles, mindblowing experiments, and perfecting your intelligent designs!

Step in to the beautiful, woodcut lands and become the Creator and master of faith of the strange creature known as the Incredipede, for only $11.99.
Too weird for me to pass up. I'm in.

Dammit GOG, please consider giving my credit card a break.

Seriously.... I feel your pain.
And I see it's for Mac too :)
Indi games are fine. Legend of Grimrock esp! But I will pass on this. Waiting for more old classics.

HiPhish: Yeah, I guess if you grew up with those kinds of games. I didn't and most (not all) modern indy games feel like cheap imitations, like a photocopy of a photocopy, while the actual classics are still great fun even though I'm only now playing them for the first time. This is why I love GoG, some of those classics would be impossible or very expensive to track down.

adamzs: I don't know, several retro games I've played not only managed to capture the essence of their source materials, but also made it a point to make themselves different from them by utilizing modern and innovative gameplay elements and/or new technology that simply wasn't possible back in the day. A good example of what I'm talking about is Legend of Grimrock, which I think is an incredible game. Of course, there are many retro games out there and not all of them may be at the top of the quality scale, but I like to concentrate on the ones that I think are good.
It's the difference between making a game informed by classic styles and saying, "I know, people like Mario. I'll make a Mario clone!".
This game is so...different.
Wishlisted for now.

LOL. I guarantee I'm older than you, and I'm wishlisting this. It looks awesome.

And what do indie games have to do with age, btw?

This reasoning sounds off to me, too. Indie games as a category aren't targeted at a specific age group. These are just games that lack a publisher and as a result usually have a tighter budget than big titles. On the upside, they typically also cost less money for gamers to buy and are released when they are actually done and not when the publisher wants them to be done.
Those who hesitate because it is too weird, too creepy, looks too childish, or whatever, should spend a moment here :

I used to give a lot of time to that (exchanging solutions with friends) before it got more and more butried under advertisements. But the principle and gameplay is the same, and completely awesome. This should count as a "demo" for Incredipede. I really suggest to give this a try. And maybe have a look at some players solutions, because some are amazingly simple, others are amazingly rube-goldbergy, many are hilarious, all are fascinatingly clever.

Huh, I first thought this was some sort of Triachnid game, but this looks even weirder. It actually looks like an interesting puzzler. I'll put it on my wishlist, but I don't think I'll get it for $12, to be honest.

adamzs: snip
And they also have more design freedom, note having to please an army of shareholders and sponsors etc.
looks like an interesting puzzler, I think I'll wishlist it for now

I just tried to be polite . :)
This game looks neat, but at the same time somewhat... unnerving.
