That'll be followed by Super Comboman-"a 2D Devil May Cry," says Gee-the quirky tale of a comic lover who can't help but air-juggle everyone he meets with a string of kicks and punches.

There's Soundodger+, the enhanced Steam release of a Flash game that Gee describes as "Bullet hell meets Lumines." The free version is already solid Gee promises that Plus will add a level editor with custom tracks and double the song library. The three releases in the pipeline for Adult Swim Games are just as unusual and dissimilar as their predecessors, yet intriguing and appealing all the same. "That really fits the spirit of what we are-finding great, talented free thinkers in their medium." "I want us to be the premiere indie game label, and that's how I see Adult Swim," says Gee.

Do you have a publisher?' I called over my roommates, like 'Hey, check it out, Adult Swim wants to publish!'" In time, that initial surprise over a TV network publishing games may be replaced by recognition of their eye for curating indies. It was just like 'Hey, we see this game, it looks cool, we like the original. "When they originally approached me," says Morrish, "it was pretty simple.

That was the exact reaction from Andrew Morrish, creator of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, before Adult Swim Games had a foothold in the PC domain. They're like 'What? Adult Swim is emailing me?'" "Anything that we like, we go back to them and find a way to work together. "I'm always on the Internet looking at Kickstarters, TIGSource,, anywhere you can imagine," says Gee. In fact, Gee has already done a lot of the work for you, digging through heaps of small-time projects to see what meets his standards. Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Diamonds in the roughĪdult Swim Games is always scouting for the next exceptional indie game-and if you're a fan of PC indies, the publisher's choices could be the next best thing to discovering new indies from word-of-mouth hype. "If you look at Adult Swim the TV network, what does Aqua Teen Hunger Force have to do with Children's Hospital, The Boondocks, or Robot Chicken? Nothing-but it's all good stuff." "The quality point can't be underestimated," says Olsen. Jeff Olsen, vice president of Adult Swim Games, sees no problem with a little variation. "I want Adult Swim Games titles to represent three things," says Gee: "captivating style, great gameplay, and offering something different than what's on the market today." As long as a game is good, there's no reason not to take a chance on it. Though the Adult Swim Games library might seem wildly divergent in theme, they all share an excellence in quality. "And out of that passion comes great new experiences." "Indie devs make games that they want to play, not what a suit tells them," says Gee. But none can evoke classics like Rastan, Actraiser, or Super Ghouls n' Ghosts as vividly as Volgarr, and it's the kind of love letter to brutal 16-bit difficulty that's only possible for a small, dedicated team. Sure, tough-as-nails sidescrollers have made quite a resurgence in the modern indie scene. "You just don't have a hardcore old-school platformer anymore," says Gee. It's a callback to an era of gaming when a sense of ever-improving skill was its own reward, as you struggle to adapt to levels that punish, teach, and better you in equal measure. That leaves Volgarr the Viking from Crazy Viking Studios, an uber-difficult 2D platformer that's been curb-stomping our egos since its release last Friday.
