Developed to play within a 100×16 pixels; an art-piece, as much as a game. I personally liked it.

Lost in the Static
» Lost in the Static
a freeware platformer (for Windows). The game’s visuals are static, and you end up seeing through it to see stuff. (Warning, this might induce migraine/sickness/psychicpowers.) Via grandtextauto. (ADDENDUM: MY EYEZ ARE BLEEDIN.)

don’t bet on the werecat
“56-page dungeon crawl starring one lady barbarian and more demons, trolls, and werecats than you can swing an axe at.”

“I remember it came up while we were both playing Metroid Prime: Corruption. I was talking to him about how I was getting frustrated because some of the boss battles were really giving me a hard time. I realised I don’t play games for the challenge. I don’t need or want to be punished by a game for making mistakes. I play games for what Ron Gilbert calls “new art”. I play to see the next level or cool animation. I don’t play games to beat them I play games to see them. Coming to that realisation was actually sort of important for me.

I can name that cover in two frames
A while ago, I linked to some art that I liked because it really gave a sense of a possible story emerging form it. In that vein, Adam Dray has been working on Verge, a cyberpunk game, and presented his current cover graphic: “Verge: Name My Cover”
His explanations:
I designed the panels to be ambiguous about where the story starts and ends. It’s not clear if she did something bad, so she lost her daughter and never got her back, or if it started when they took the girl and supermom got her back and got even.
…
If you were playing that character, what would you name her? What would you name her daughter? What about the goons?

What’s your Devil?
Matt Snyder reveals the hot new art for the Dust Devils revision. I’m buying like 9 more copies of this game.
EDIT: Also, larger, desktop-worthy versions of the new art.
