Top Indie Games Made By One Person (Part I)

Developing indie games by only one person seems like an extreme level of game-making. It may seem impossible, but some of the best indie games in history have been made by just one person. In this article, we introduce the best of these titles.

Axiom Verge

Axiom Verge

This game was created by Mr. Thomas Happ, who is a professional game developer and has previously worked on bigger projects. Axiom Verge game is a Metroidvania packed with action, platforming, and exploration. The game received very good scores from critics, although some found flaws in its story and its level design. This game was initially released only for one platform, but due to its success, it was ported to most other platforms, and even its physical version was made available. Axiom Verge 2 will be released soon.

Minecraft

Minecraft

Today, when Microsoft owns the Minecraft game franchise, it seems hard to believe that the game was originally made by a single man as an indie game. At first, Minecraft was a one-person project, but when it became successful, a team was formed to expand it, and finally, Microsoft bought Minecraft. There is no need to explain Minecraft, you will either love or hate it. A game with very simple 3D graphics where creativity and construction are the main priority.

Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley

This is a great copy of the original Harvest Moon games. The creator himself was not afraid to say that he loved Harvest Moon games and was greatly inspired by them. The game does not introduce a new idea but is perfectly based on it. In this game, you do farming, animal husbandry, trading, interacting with people, and other fun things. If you don’t compare the game’s pixel art with Harvest Moon anime graphics, this is your best experience in a farming simulator game.

Tetris

Tetris

The original Tetris game was created by a Russian engineer in 1984 for PC, but it gained world fame when it was released on the NES console. Until now, dozens of games have been made based on the Tetris formula, each of which has tried to add something new to it, but still the original formula that Mr. Alexey Pajitnov developed for the game is the main factor of its charm.

flappy bird

Flappy Bird

The fate of this indie game is very strange. Flappy Bird, which is a very simple two-dimensional side-scrolling game, became so popular that the creator of the game felt guilty! In this game, you control a bird by tapping on the mobile screen so that the bird does not hit obstacles. The game was so addictive that the developer removed it from app stores. Of course, later a different version of the game was released again.
