I stumbled upon a section of indie games that were maybe &&num;8220&semi;too indie&&num;8221&semi; to be part of the main booth so they were sectioned off into the &&num;8220&semi;MINIBOOTH&&num;8221&semi;&period; One of the first games I encountered was <strong>We Are Doomed<&sol;strong>&period; The game is made by a one person team at Caffeine Monster Software&period; It is a space-like shoot-em-up where a player will control a over-powered laser beam to shoot the rapidly-multiplying enemies&period; The game has a fun&comma; vibrant look to it with plenty of color and odd shapes&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s very easy to get right into the action and there should be lots of replay value as you&&num;8217&semi;ll always want to best your previous score&period;

 on the PAX East floor far away from the indies and a lot closer to the AAA titles that were attracting the masses&period; Since I&&num;8217&semi;m from Massachusetts&comma; I&&num;8217&semi;m always drawn to the <em>Made in MA<&sol;em> games and this was no exception&period;  Made by Thefty Jack&comma; this iOS title is about saving the world by killing zombies with anti-government supplied ice cream&period; The zombies will come in waves and you as the ice-cream man will have to combine the special recipes to kill each type of zombie&period;
