With PAX West 2019 starting tomorrow, August 30th, 2019 in Seattle, we’ve been keeping an eye on the Indie MEGABOOTH. Maybe we were just hungry at the time but we happened to find a few indie games releasing sometime next year that look absolutely adorable and mouth-watering. If you’re attending this large gaming convention, you can find Cake Bash at booth 37 and Boomerang Fu will be featured among 9 other indie games at PAX 10 Showcase. Besides being able to see gameplay footage from these tasty games, you will have access to other treats such as pins. We’ve WHIPPED up a list of games you’ll certainly KNEAD to save your DOUGH for.

Boomerang Fu

Boomerang Fu is a frantic physics fighting game. Choose from an adorable cast of food characters and slice up your friends with boomerangs and a ridiculous range of stackable powerups. Each match of Boomerang Fu can be a finely-balanced ballet of blades or a comedy of errors. Simple controls let newcomers grill, chill and tenderise their opponents within seconds, while advanced players will uncover the hidden depths of this lost martial art by learning to deflect attacks and curve boomerangs around corners. And everyone can use the environment against their foes, setting off traps, hiding in bushes, or pushing one another into treacherous koi ponds. Boomerang Fu is created by indie studio Cranky Watermelon and is coming soon to PC/Mac. You can wishlist the game now on Steam here.

Cake Bash

Fight to be the tastiest cake! A party game for up to four players with very unique hazards – bash your friends, dash away from danger and have a delicious time! Cake Bash is a manic party game where the goal is to make yourself as irresistible as possible. Cover yourself in chocolate, jelly beans and all manner of sugar-studded goodies to become the tastiest cake, but watch out – your rivals will do anything to stop you, whether it’s by clouting you with a spork, knocking you into pigeon poop, or covering you in all manner of gunk! The game is developed by High Tea Frog and published by Coatsink, the publishers behind the adorable game PHOGS! Cake Bash is baking until early 2020 for consoles and PC. You can wishlist the game now on Steam here.

Cranked Up

In this platforming game, an evil Hawaiian pizza rules the world. He has kidnapped your favorite cup of coffee and threatens to cover all the food with pineapple. Your mission will be to save the cup (and the world at the same time). Discover a quirky universe, with colorful characters and a script written by a 6 year old child. A clever rocket system allows you to move, but despite its simplicity it remains challenging. You have to activate the right rocket at the right time, otherwise you risk going back in the wrong way. Once mastered you can then go from roof to roof, jump chasms and create your own way to the coveted coffee. Cranked Up is developed by BBlack Studio and is releasing sometime in 2020 on Steam Early Access here.

We’ve contacted the developers of Cranked Up if they will be attending PAX West but we just couldn’t leave it out of this smorgasbord. If you’re interested in other games that are coming to the con, check out our article here: Developers of Moving Out are Teaming with Team17.
