If a self-aware parody action/platformer is what you're looking for, turn thy gaze to Apocalypse Cow. It's always good to laugh at yourself, and developers Monsters have dedicated an entire title to the self-deprecation of video games. Apocalypse Cow recently marched its way through Steam's Greenlight process and is currently scheduled to go live on both PC and Mac in the first quarter of next year.

The trailer pokes at several games and movie franchises right off the bat, so you should know going into Apocalypse Cow that you won't be doing anything too serious. Yet, the state of indie games as we know it is in danger! You'll have to do something to save the (game) world!
