Indie games are basically a game that is started by one person or a partnership of people, these often are very cheap to make and are usually games that are very simple and addictive.
I'm going to focus on super meat boy, this game was designed by Edmund McMillin and Tommy Rafenes, that make up "team meat" and the composer of the game was Danny Baranowsky. It comes on a number of platforms including mac, windows and xbox 360 via the arcade.
Super meat boy recieved awards for most challenging game and also for the best downloadable game from established gaming companies, and all comes from an original copy of the successful 2008 dlash game. It was released on xbox in october 2010 and as of january 2012, has sold over 1 million copies.
Indie games are often a big success if they are made properly as there isnt many people to split the profit with, so for super meat boy for example, the creaters would have to share the profit between a small number of them.
The aim of this game is to guide a man made entirely of meat to his girlfriend made of bandages, from the games antagonist, dr fetus.
