Gimbal is a frantic space shooter, brought by the producer 8888888 Labs and although the game concept itself is not new, especially after the moderate success of SPAZ (Space Pirates and Zombies), that fits like a glove in the same genus, can still bring some interesting news.
Hardcore Gamer: Ah, pancakes! The perfect breakfast food. They fill you up and cost nothing to make. They also helped inspire this Indie Royale bundle…somehow. For $3.50, you get Gentlemen!, Survivor Squad, Eleusis, Gimbal, Talisman Prologue, and Bad Hotel.
(CriticalIndieGamer) Gimbal is a top down, physics-centric, 2D space shooter for PC. It is priced at £11.99 and available through Steam. Yes, you can make a penis shaped ship.
The game markets itself as “the multiplayer shooter with buildable vehicles” and while that is certainly true, it is underselling it. The in-game customisation is as deep and complex as you would expect from a similarly priced simulator. The problem with having such a complex customisation system is that it is very difficult to utilise until you’ve put in hours of play. For the most part, it was easier to just steal other people’s designs and modify them slightly (more on that later).
Hardcore Gamer: It's been one year since IGS launched and allowed you to pay you wanted for a single indie game every four days. Now, the store is allowing you to buy games at any time. To celebrate the launch, 14 games are on sale until October 1. Escape Goat can be yours for $4, while SpaceChem will cost you $8, Gnomoria is $8.50, while Megabyte Punch is $17. Gimbal is $12, Aztaka is $5, Weird Worlds is $8, and the Cognition Series is $20.
