- The first of the 2007 Best Of Features here on the IndieGames.com.blog, we're proud to present a countdown of ten of the best freeware games released by cactus in 2007.

IndieGames.com interviewed Cactus, who is a current IGF finalist with Clean Asia!, back in November, and Gamelab.com also recently quizzed him in more detail, particularly commenting on:

"The quirky, unique freeware games made by Swedish developer Cactus - his shooters, adventure games and experimental titles have a visual aesthetic that combines mathematical precision and unruly chaos, and their gameplay is tight, balanced and challenging."

Haha, I love how he has to have a seperate list. I guess I'm one of the few that really

:/ comment obliterated

...loves Protoganda, I would put it up there with Clean Asia and Akuchizoku actually.

Me also, Protoganda was a visual pleasure. I enjoyed it a bunch more than Akuchizoku.

Too bad he still hasn't made a game that can match the greatness of II2. ;)

These are pretty small file sizes to be games like those. I thought my computer would slow down because Protoganda and some others, but nothing. They run perfectly!
