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.

There was no big features this week, unfortunately. Most of our staff was gone at E3, after all! Just Freeware Friday was this week. However, the TOJam 2008 competition recently wrapped up, so there's a ton of games that were released this week! Dwarf Fortress also finally got the first update in the Army Arc, adding battles and wars to the historical records of the game.

Freeware Friday: Off-Road Velociraptor Safari James Murff takes Freeware Friday to a new place: browser games.

Following up on their amazing work on Off-Road Velociraptor Safari, Flashbang Studios is working on their newest Unity-powered browser game. Called Minotaur in a China Shop, it has you playing a minotaur whose goal is to destroy all the precious china and shelves in the shop. Once again, it's heavily physics based as well. The trailer (pictured above) shows off some of the physics gameplay with the untextured models. It looks very interesting, and will no doubt be incredibly fun, given Flashbang's pedigree.
