There's been a lot of Indie Games and just a few that really stand out this year and again, our Finalists: Surgeon Simulator 2013, Tetrobot and Co., Mini Motor Racing EVO, BIT.TRIP FATE, 99 Spirits, FORCED, Coin Crypt, Retro/Grade, Guncraft and Dark Matter. It appears that the Minecraft influenced game is still the most favorite game of the crowd. Exato Game Studios didn't just integrated an FPS game into a Minecraft game but a deep realization of what more could've done for its improvement. As a shooter game, it's been doing so well with such equilibrium to the crafting element of the game. There's just so much stuff that you can create that may add a tricky role to the overall gameplay. Guncraft offered an innovation in its genre that's the major reason why the readers chose it to be GameHaunt's Indie Game of the Year.
