The Freeware Games Thread

[ThePortalGuru]

I figured that I'd just make this thread instead of make a new one every time I found a new freeware game.

Here, I'll post freeware game recommendations, and anyone who wants to is free to contribute. Be sure to give the name of the game, a picture of it, and why you should download it.

Title: Synaesthete

Genre: Rhythm

Description: The story is a bit abstract for this one, but here's the main point: You play as Zaikman, guardian of the collective unconsious. In order to defeat each level, you need defeat all of the enemies in each of the areas of the level. You cannot move past one area until you defeat all the enemies in it.

Gameplay revolves around an object in the middle of your screen: The tracker. Throughout the level, that level's song will play. Notes will fall to the rhythm of that song. In order to defeat the enemies, you need to hit at least one of the color notes to the beat, which will cause Zaikman to shoot a lazer at them. To avoid being hit by the enemies, you can move around with the WASD keys.

It's a blast to play, and easily one of the best rhythm games currently available.

Why you should download it: Synaesthete has an excellent techno soundtrack, and the blend of movement, rhythm, and enemies makes for a challenging yet refreshing take on the genre.
