Welcome all to the very first Indie Friday feature! As the name suggests, each Friday we'll be taking a look at a handful of independent game developers from around Australia and giving you, the reader, a chance to know a bit more about the local scene and just what to keep your eyes on.

Do keep in mind that some of these titles aren't quite ready, but we believe that even without the polish these games have some great potential at showing off Australia's very prominent local talent.

To start off the first week we have five indie titles to check out, all from around Australia and all with very different playstyles. Check out the list in action over here, and as always leave a comment on your thoughts.
