Kosmosis

Screen shot of game

This is a strange game, with instructions that are hard to read, but the flock-behaviour is quite nice. It is an attempt by the designer to subvert the mechanism behind war-gaming.

Every day the same dream

Screen shot of game

The Artist says:

'Every day the same dream' is a slightly existential riff on the theme of alienation and refusal of labour. The idea was to charge the cyclic nature of most video games with some kind of meaning, i.e. the 'play again' is not a game over. Yes, there is an end state, you can 'beat' the game.

This game produces very wobbly bridges...

Insurgo

Insurgo is about building a wobbly structure as high as you can go.

Move the mouse to a joint, then slide the cursor to another joint to see if it's close enough to build a connector.

It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, the sky is literally the limit.
