What defines indie games and their platform diversity?

Indie games are like toy boxes made by kids who imagine new worlds and play with different kinds of toys, not just one kind.

Indie games are made by small teams or even single people, instead of big companies. Think about how you make a fort out of blankets and pillows, that’s like an indie game, built from imagination and simple tools.

Platform diversity means these games can be played on many different devices, just like your favorite toy can be played with in the living room, the kitchen, or even outside.

• You can play some games on a phone, like drawing with crayons.
• Others are on a computer, like building blocks with Legos.
• Some are even on big TVs, like watching cartoons.

This lets everyone, from your little brother to your parents, find a game that fits their way of playing. And because indie game makers are creative and don’t have many rules, they can try out all kinds of new ideas, like making a game where you dance with a robot!
