20120208igf

Head on over to the Independent Games Festival Awards website to cast your vote in the Audience Award. You can download demos for many of the finalists then and there, but you’re also free to vote for games without demos, should you have independent motivation to do so. It’s a tough crowd this year with Dear Esther, Frozen Synapse, Fez, Spelunky and more. You only have until February 19 to get your vote in, so hop to it. This year’s IGF runs March 5-9.

Thanks, Joystiq.
