Underrated Indie Developer: Jonny Smeby

I always felt that Johnny Smeby was underrated. His games rarely get posted on other blogs. In fact, I don't think I ever recall seeing him receive any attention with the exception of his native community, The Daily Click.

Run Or Be Mechanically Separated (or ROBMS for short) Part 1 is his most recent effort and I must say that it is his best yet. It's a polished, rather quirky, platformer, involving a whole lot of spikes that must be avoided and it really shows Johnny's matured progression as an indie developer.

Part 2 is meant to be released at some point, hopefully in the near future, although whether this will be melded with the first part to become one game is unclear. The picture is some concept art for the game that he recently posted.
