Poyo: The Next Big Indie Puzzler?

Poyo.jpgTim at The Independent Gaming Source has a post up beckoning us to try out a new puzzle game called Poyo. Made in under a month using Game Maker, Poyo is the brainchild of Lazrael, an active member of the Game Maker community.

The game is simplistic, hearkening to the days of Dig Dug and Lode Runner, with the character possessing the means only to run, jump and warp. Still, Poyo can be punishing at times, and for a game coming out of nowhere, feels like it will stand the test of time.

Though I don't know if agree with Tim's likening of the game to such heavy-hitters as Cave Story, it's a solid indie offering and a great way to kill some time.

It's a rather charming game. I've looked in every config file I could find and there seems to be no way of increasing the rez though.

press f4.

That makes all the difference, thanks.
