New Brick-Breaker SHMUP?! WE ARE IN! | The indieRift Podcast #8

Steve, Matt and Andy dove into some older indies, new gems, and of course sifted through some demos to see if anything is worth your time. Matt’s new obsession combines brick breakers with shootemups, Steve revisits a revamped Fabledom, and Andy strolls down nostalgia lane with Prison City. PLUS! Hypercharge sells over 100k on Xbox, and what exactly is plagiarism, anyway?
