Developer Sabarasa announced that it will release two DSiWare titles from offbeat indie game developer Jason Rohrer (Sleep is Death). The two slated games are Primrose (a puzzler released for iPhone/PC last year), and a three-game collection titled Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthology. According to the ERSB (via Joystiq), Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthology will include three of the developer's best known games: Passage, Gravitation, and Between, the last of which won the Innovation (Nuovo) award at the 2009 Independent Games Festival. Like Sleep Is Death, Between is a multiplayer experience -- details have not yet been revealed on whether the title will support online multiplayer or just local play. The Alt-Play label suggests that Sabarasa has more independent games in mind for DSiWare, though the firm has not confirmed any other titles in this series to date. In addition, a separate, specially designed Jason Rohrer game will debut on Nintendo's handheld when Diamond Trust of London -- published by Majesco -- releases this sumer.
