We here at Big Download love indie games. From telling you about them, playing them, or offering downloads for them, we are all about helping lesser-known developers get their name out into the world. Each week on Saturday, we'll give you the Indie Wrap-up, a collection of all the indie news stories and features during the previous week.

It was a slow week on both the news and features fronts for the indie scene. No in-depths, no interviews, and no MODvelous Monday graced us this week, and the TIGSource Procedural Generation Competition has wrapped up. Here's looking at next week for more interesting indie news and features!

Freeware Friday: Battleships Forever James Murff takes a look at yet another freeware game. This time, it's the IGF finalist Battleships Forever!

cactus has brought us yet another of his famous quickly made games. This time it's a puzzler platformer by the name of BlockOn! where you control a little man trying to make his way to the exit of each stage. That's not all, though. You must place blocks to help lead your character to the exit as well as trap any enemies to keep them from attacking you. It's a relatively short and simple game, but as it was made in just 3 hours, it's to be expected. cactus explains the full game on his forums, so take a look and see if it's your thing.
