Canada-based Hothead Games (famous for its popular RPG series, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness) has teamed up with independent developers to bring some of the latest titles to new gaming platforms.

Jonathan Blow’s Braid launched on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008 and blew gamers away with its innovative gameplay and distinctive art style. Hothead and Blow have partnered to bring Braid to the Mac.

The Maw by Twisted Pixel landed on Xbox Live Arcade last month and delighted gamers with its memorable characters and challenging puzzles. Now Hothead will be bringing The Maw to the PC, “integrating special features to make the crowd-pleaser compatible with multiple as-of-yet-unannounced digital distribution platforms and services.”

“We focus on finding new distribution opportunities so that they can focus on what they do best: developing their next great game,” said Hothead Games COO Joel DeYoung. “These two titles represent only the tip of the iceberg. We’re committed to working with indies and helping them be successful, so look for lots more announcements to come.”
