Indie Game Time Machine - EYEMAZE

Every once in a while we see a browser game that really makes us think. There’s just something about it, either a mechanic or visual style, something that means it can’t be ignored - and yet time passes, the world moves on and we all seem to forget how great those games really were. But we, the great historians of indie gaming, want to remember...

So we covered an office chair in aluminium foil, duck-taped on some cardboard wings and silver-spray-painted Pringle tubes. We then hooked it up to a 500lb rocket and sent Dan, the intern, flying off the roof (he will be missed)… And then we built a time machine. You’d better get on because baby, when this thing hits 88 the Doc and I are off to Never Never Land! And by that we mean we're going to break free of the bonds of gravity and quite literally never land. Unless we crash or something. Or get bored. Or hungry...


The date is February 7, 2002 Eyemaze.com has just launched.


Grow ver3 is soon to win the Grand Prix and popular vote at the shockwave game contest and to become famous.


In March 2004 the site releases Tontie ver.0, a sweet whack-a-mole game played on your number keys.



More great games released each month until bam! March 16, 2007 Dwarf Complete (wow) followed closely in May 2007 by Grow Cube.
