Loading Studios has released an early demo of its in-development, first-person tower defence effort, Space Nomads. You can download the demo from the game’s newly launched Indiegogo campaign, which is after CAD $60,000. Be aware that it is probably far from representative of the finished product, but if it takes your fancy the indie is offering a number of incentives to help out with the Linux, Mac and PC title.

Pay what you want for a collection of excellent indies available cross-platform with no DRM, and playable on your Android device.

The TellTale Humble Weekly Sale contains a number of the licensed adventure specialist’s popular titles – Back to the Future: The Game, Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse, Poker Night at the Inventory, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent and Hector: Badge of Carnage – all cross-platform, DRM free and available as direct downloads or via Steam for the price of whatever you feel like paying.
