Some odd games for ya

Here's a link that I'm putting up here in part to remind me to check it out later. I am sick and in no mood to install and figure out strange games. Found it via Kottke, which is one of many blogs linking to this, which is a good read if you wanna hear people in the game design business rant about how back-asswards the industry is. Fun-fact about me: I like reading about the game design industry/process more than I like playing most games. Some day I'll tell you all about my "Army of Pete" Quake mod... suffice to say, it was glorious.

Anyway, the first link goes to a page with a bunch of games designed according to the following rulez:

  • each game must be made in less than 7 days
  • each game must be made by one person, including all art, sound, and programming
  • each game must be based around a certain "toy" ie. "gravity", "vegetation", "swarm behavior", etc.
If that isn't a recipe for wacky fun, I don't know what is.
