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!

Features

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

In a fair bit of platformers, the player can jetpack around either immediately or after getting some power-ups. It's also prominent in several shooters, most notably Tribes and Soldat. Farting, though? That's new to us. Puzzle Farter is a browser platformer/puzzler where you jetpack around through your powerful flatulence. No joke.

The game is comprised of 50 levels, each gradually testing your control over your stench-filled wind even more. The controls are simple, consisting of just the arrow keys. You can take three hits before dying, and have 3 lives total. The thing that gets us, though, is the fart effects. It's like a mix of actual farts and that armpit noise you can make if you really try. Highly entertaining.
