What are you doing this evening — hunkering down with a packet of Burger Rings and My Kitchen Rules? How about you ditch that and head down to Federation Square in Melbourne. There’s only going to be a delightful evening of top notch indie games being played on a massive outdoor screen!
For 6-9pm tonight, and every other Wednesday until February 27, Federation Square is playing host to Indie Allsorts, a celebration of indie gaming on a large scale. It’s all part of the lead up to this year’s Freeplay, an event now being put together by co-directors Harry Lee and Katie Williams.
Those names may be familiar to a few of you. Katie Williams has contributed to Kotaku Australia on more than a few occasions, and we profiled Harry Lee and his great work late last year. Indie Allsorts is one of the first initiatives being launch under their tenure, and I think it’s a pretty swell idea.
The following games will be available to play…

Nidhogg by Mark Essen
Pole Riders by Bennett Foddy
Ninja, a folk game
Running
Canabalt by Adam Saltsman
Ski Safari by Defiant Development
Lemon Jousting by Coney
