HEY
Are you going to PAX Prime 2011? YES YOU ARE. Are you going to check out booths #597 and #599?! (It's actually one combined booth) OF COURSE! Why? Because those booths are going to be housing two MULTI-AWARD-WINNING and MANY TIMES NOMINATED Independent Games: SNAPSHOT by Retro Affect and CLOSURE by Eyebrow Interactive.
SNAPSHOT ( http://snapshotgame.com ) is a puzzle platformer starring Pic, a mysterious robot built with a camera that can capture the world around him. The camera's photos not only capture the image of the world, but also the objects within it. Solve puzzles and escape the clutches of death and destruction using this one of a kind photography mechanic! And YES, you can use POKEMON SNAP in your headline to attract more readers. (YOU KNOW IT WILL WORK.)
NEAT INFO ABOUT SNAPSHOT:
- IGF Finalist in Design (2009)
- Featured in the Indiecade E3 Showcase (2009)
- Featured in the PAX East Boston Indie Showcase (2011)

CLOSURE ( http://closuregame.com ) is ALSO a unique puzzle platformer ( is there a theme here? Find out at Booth #597 and #599! ) that takes place in a mysterious world where if you can't see it, it actually doesn't exist. Shine lights to manipulate the world around you, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets in this unique, challenging, and stylistic puzzle game. Your PAX trip won't be complete without playing this game, so if you want that sense of... CLOSURE... you better come play it!

But WAIT, what happened to Booth #598? The only way to find out... is to stop on by Booth #597 and #599 at PAX Prime 2011! We're going to have a bunch of COOL STUFF to give away (and SELL) like buttons, artwork and t-shirts! So instead of standing in line for 2 hours just to play 30 seconds of some big budget game about glowing space marines, come play some awesome indie games instead!
