indie games can still be fun for a short time. even game maker games like 'the wall' are fun. You could write a review saying its graphics were lame, it was just a platformer with very limited features, its only unique feature is a gimmick, a limited field of view, the translation of cartesian to polar coordinates. But it's still fun. For a short time. Just like a screensaver with an ant is fun for a short time. Just like if there was a homeless person dancing desperately for money I might stop and enjoy his dance for a short time. But not give him any money-and wish eyesores like him were eradicated. BUT games like flow are still fun. For a time. Novelty might not impress people of good taste but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy it, deep down inside. I bet Josh buried the feeling of funness deep inside because he is pretentious in an inversted way and because from the beginning they wanted a review that made indie games look bad. Start with an idea, use a sledge hammer to beat facts to conform with it, end with the same idea. their just like the indies who start with the idea they are speshal, make abortions and end thinking they are speshal. what's the point? Say art games are gay and not pervert your tastes and waste peoples time looking for proof. i had more fun playing flow than reading his review. Josh is an inversion of an inversion. They are smearing games they couldn't make themselves. Flinging shit at shit flingers doesn't make u human. Proof is in the pudding. I Dare icycalm to use his millions to make an indie game that is fun like 90s games and is about making war on indie people. Or maybe hunting homeless people would a fun game.

It might even make a good computer game too lols.

I guess there's no point pretending anymore, we've been found out. In fact Josh doesn't even exist: he's an alt account I use to make it seem as if I am not the only one contributing to the site.

Here's a typo in the review:

I listed a bunch of simple games with simple graphics that are great, yet I'm biased against them. He's right that indie Flash games can be fun, but he forgot to add only for five minutes when you're in school and supposed to be making spreadsheets. When you're not in that situation the amount of fun you'd be cheating yourself out of is so colossal you'd have to be totally ignorant to not notice it.
