Reporting on the games made in Canada and the creators behind them
Toronto-based indie studio Lithic Entertainment (@LithicEnt) has confirmed their next game Dwarrows (@dwarrowsgame), a 3rd-person town-builder, is releasing on Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux next month.
Read MoreAlto’s Adventure has been released on Mac, which you can pick up right here for $9.99 USD. Snowman’s founder Ryan Cash let me know via email that this was planned for a while:
“Ever since we launched the game on iOS we’d always wanted to do a Mac version, and we’d actually begun working on it a long time ago. We kind of got tied up with the tvOS version when that launched, and then of course, Alto’s Odyssey. When Apple announced the new Mac App Store at WWDC this year we knew it was time to dust off the code and bring it to the finish line.”
Alto's Adventure is an endless snowboarding odyssey, set against a beautiful and ever changing alpine landscape. App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/altos...

Read MoreAs announced last week, Dragon of Legends from Thrive Games has hit Kickstarter with a goal of $60,000 dollars, the lowest tier to guarantee a copy of the game is only $10 dollars. We've written about Dragon of Legends quite a bit, but you can check out further details and trailer below:
Dragon of Legends is an online action RPG for PC, Mac, Linux, and Mobile devices, that is heavily influenced by Gaelic and Norse mythology. Enter the ever-evolving lands of Hávámal, where the lights of faeries border the realms of darkness. Two alliances have emerged across the world, both struggling for supremacy over the land and as these great powers battle one another for control of Hávamál – darker forces gather to destroy them. Players from around the world can assume the roles of customizable heroic fantasy characters, and explore a lush 2D world full of mystery, danger, and countless adventure.
After creating your own custom character and selecting a faction, you will set out on an epic quest to conquer evil and save the lands of Hávamál from impending doom, or succumb to the darkness and act as an agent of destruction. You will have your own background, racial history, and character specific storyline that will provide direction, and motivation behind all of your actions. Along your adventures you will acquire new equipment and learn powerful skills to aid you on your path, and you will be constantly interacting with other players from around the world. In order to defeat the most complicated and challenging dungeons, you must strategically coordinate your efforts and work effectively as a team to reap the rewards. You can band together with like-minded players in clans and guilds and wage war against other rival factions - or even turn on your own:
Currently the game is planned for PC, Mac, Linux, and mobile but console versions may be possible as well...
Stay tuned for our stretch goals ;) https://t.co/on1j77BYhH

It released for PC back in August, but Toronto developer Cococucumber announced that Planet of the Eyes has been released on Mac.
Planet of the Eyes is an action-puzzle platformer with a retro sci-fi inspired aesthetic and a mystery-driven storyline. At the outset of the game, the player - an exploration robot - starts his search for the source of a pulsing signal on the planet. Along the way, the robot negotiates multiple dangers, solves environment-based puzzles, and uncovers the truth about the Planet of the Eyes through the audiologs of a surviving crew member. The fate of both these survivors and the planet itself will hang in the balance as the player contemplates a destiny that was meant to be unavoidable.
