This is what independent gaming is all about: a game with fresh, entertaining ideas that you can play through in minutes, but still has enough depth to keep you coming back.

Love this:

it's just a strange game with bizarre widgets, baubles and creatures tucked into every corner of its auto generated universe that you'll experience in less than ten to thirty minutes. Throw on a thorough coat of Rich Carlson's weird humor, Iikka Keranen neat gameplay ideas and artist Phosphorous' bizarre art stylings and you have a game that's literally in its own freaky zip code.

And if you're in Belgium, please pick up a copy of Pc Gameplay Magazine (http://www.pcgameplay.com). Frank Dolmans, Editor-in-Chief, was kind enough to provide some translations:

- Compact, fast, impressive, and totally addictive!

- Every time you play this one it's different, every game is a struggle to get back home safely with the goods! Lots and lots of fun!

- A complete space opera packed in half an hour sessions!

- Worth every single dollarcent, let there be no doubt about that!

For the Finnish...Weird Worlds scores 88 of 100 possible points from Pelaaja magazine. (http://www.pelaajalehti.com/web/ennakot_ja_arvostelut/weird_worlds_return_to_infinite_space_arvio/)

Hooked Gamers rates Weird Worlds at nine on a scale of ten:

All that I can say about this game is that in my opinion no aspect of this title is lacking. The graphics, sound and interface are very much appropriate for a game such as this.

With a crisp yet simple SVGA graphics engine with plenty of visual effects combined with a smooth flowing story line and good sounds this one certainly hits the high mark in all categories. I give this game an A.

Buy this game! It’s got the right mix of polish, fun, value, and broad appeal to make it an all around winner.

It’s such an addictive creation that this paragraph took me a week to write.

A new review just posted at MacGamer.com (http://www.macgamer.com/features/publish.php?id=2096)

This game blew me away, and minutes turned into hours as I kept telling myself, "Allright, that one didn't count. Just one more round..." This kind of game is a fantastic example of what independent development can be: A great game at a great price that will keep you coming back for more.
