A game where your knives' attack power is directly proportional to how thoroughly and lovingly you lick them before battle.
"Sadly, this game only ranks a 5/10 in Evil Wizards, a 3/10 in Ancient Prophecy and a miserable 2/10 in Sword Fetishism."
You turn on the tap. A stream of multicoloured muddy liquid flows out. All around you, the colour in your cell slowly drains away to gray.
The death-beam punches through her body and into yours. In that instant you feel united, connected, in a way that eluded you both in life.
His only warmth in the cave, a flash of dragonfire. He cradles it, ponders the fact that flame spat in animal fury can bring such coziness.
Your web quivers under you. You read a stream of frantic tugs - too slow for a moth, too heavy for a mosquito. Is it⌠a human? "Delicious!"
A world where the only act of anti-consumerist rebellion left is spelling brand names with inaccurate capitalisation.
You're A Hot Streak And I'm The Dice
A strange fungus filled his body. Every cut or scratch produced not blood but a bloom. He walked into battles a man, emerged a dense forest.
In his later years he found words inelegant compared to a single belligerent hand wave. He could coast through whole conversations that way.
A grate in the floor with a complicated lock. You imbibe the potion of puzzle solution! You swiftly dissolve and dribble through the bars.
"Many an archeologist's spouse has slid into bed, only to leap out screaming at the centuries-old femurs they'd smuggled under the covers."

Orbital. A bit like Osmos but simpler, cuter, and with more enchanting sound design.
F-Zero. I like these colours.
Just a note: even though the @TalesOfGames site lists the Barkley port as being for OS X 10.8, it will also work for 10.6 and above.
http://l.j-factor.com/macports/ - Just added the newly released freeware port to this page.
Plenty of games have pattern bosses with specific weak spots. Few of them give you a Super Missile to blow through them in a few key hits.
I also admire that the Kraid battle is simultaneously an arduous battle of attrition for beginners, and a 10-second speed-bump for experts.
The way the beam makes a keening wail and takes a full second to charge up, as if you're exhausted, struggling to get the last few shots in.
I really like the way the charge beam in Super Metroid feels like an act of desperation when you run out of missiles in a boss fight.
"Jumping couldn't be implemented in this port. Instead, Mario runs into the goomba and dies, and a text box describes the rest of the game."
"First, imagine the endings of Super Hexagon, Rez, Dyad and 2001 put together. Okay? Now please describe it because it sounds fascinating."

Human NPCs feel so confident, so assured in their existence. Non-human NPCs seem like they don't know who they are any more than you do.
Human NPCs in Mother games seem so callous and self-absorbed. The non-human NPCs seem humbler, gentler, thankful for the player's attention.
The game in the previous tweet reminds me a lot of Aisle http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=j49crlvd62mhwuzu both in tone and the "improvised story" dynamic.

A Grow-like Twine game where you have a single scene and eight verbs that can be performed once in any order.
Would that you could find a pair of arms in which your weight was no burden, a pair of eyes in which you never ceased to fascinate.
The peculiar task of choosing words for tweets - the feeling of creating an entire mood with an adverb, an entire person with a verb.
"Your life is just so vicarious," he said dismissively, as if this was due to slovenliness rather than, say, sheer necessity.
You lean in and start to gently lick away the anti-aliasing pixels along her edges.

It seems fitting that a cobbled-together dream-themed licensed game has diffuse boundaries between enemies, allies and powerups.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588660-the-simpsons-barts-nightmare/faqs/11348 - Fairy Lisa tries to turn you into a frog. If you get caught by a gang, Lisa turns the gang into frogs to save you.
Game where the ending cutscene is only available as paid DLC, and the main quest is about trying in vain to pirate it.
Games seem more interested in authoritarian imprisonment rather than capitalistic imprisonment - monolithic jailers over intangible jailers.
What emotional response do games want to elicit by making their bosses giant and towering? Fear? Awe? Glee? Surrealness? Anything at all?
Some say ending tweets with "Who knowsâŚ" is a cheap way to add a false sense of mystery. Are they correct? Who knowsâŚ

People bemoaned the absence of the long jump in post-64 Mario games, but I also miss doing that sliding kick attack all over the castle.
"Squishy Friction: the friction of bouncing off the belly of a giant slime. Puffy Friction: the friction of sinking into a giant puffball."
I found something really sad about the hazed-out stat bars in @increpare's Home. I'm surprised at how emotive a bar full of static can be.

What I do wonder about OAOS is that it 'teaches' you about fall damage by making you die in the pit once, then unlocking your jump ability.
I was going to include the oft-derided One And One Story in that list, but its first level actually contains stuff.
This dress is marked 'click to enlarge'. You click and it swells up, bursts out the top of your monitor and rapidly fills your entire room

#IPlayed Hot Air Jr. Reminds me of the DS. Awkward to play, but it has some genuine visual variety between levels.
I think NetHack has a bunch of interesting and meaningful moments unfortunately embedded in a game that's not that fun to actually beat.
What I like about NetHack mimics is that they can mimic the '[' glyph (armour) as well as ']' (a glyph that no item uses at all).
"A floor is a degenerate pit, namely one with a depth of 0. A block is a degenerate spike, namely one with a sharpness of 0."

Yes, I'm working on the OS X port of Hotmail Niamey, the spam-soaked tale of masks and murder in late 00s Niger by indie heartthrob Saguaro.
"No matter how you play, each game eventually ends the same way: kicked in the nads while trying to grab a quarter glued to the sidewalk."
"The victim died wearing a live motion-capture suit. Would the court now watch the screen as Hatsune Miku re-enacts his final moments."
I wish Konami had made a Parodius version of Contra so I could see what this fellow would get turned into.
Contra III having an explicit "pose for the camera" action makes me wonder if I should use it in all my GIFs.

Secret passage in Mega Man 6 level leads to vast peaceful open-world exploration adventure. You never see the Stage Select screen again.
I'm not sure whether I should record Mega Man 7 GIFs using the SNES version or the Famicom-style demake: http://www.indiegames.com/2008/06/remake_game_pick_rockman_7fc_m.html
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOUR MONITOR CRACKS APART, REVEALING A FEW SHEETS OF PAPER AND A LIGHTBULB. ALL YOUR COOL INTERNET PALS WERE JUST MADE UP.
I dunno, these kinds of bosses just look stiff and awkward after awhile.
For some reason, I kind of like the way this particular Mega Man area looks.
Why doesn't the PLAYER ever get to stomp the ground to cause random debris to fall from the sky and smash enemies?
http://l.j-factor.com/gifs/MM4-MetDaddy.gif - I'm a fan of giant versions of tiny enemies. The comical upending of the natural order!
Their solution to piracy was to make their software terabytes large, 'too big to copy'. Their users could afford another hard drive anyway.
The red 'Santa' sheep's design was owned by one company. Its genes, patented by another. It was illegal for Santa lambs to live to maturity.
What I want to know is why anyone would bother with the other 1199 games when this cart has TEDIUM 8.
The very last Mr. Gimmick boss is one I'm particularly impressed with.
I love how Kid Dracula's first level has all these iconic Castlevania areas contiguously connected like this.
I'll admit that this boss fight in Magical Doropie (a.k.a Krion Conquest) is kinda nice looking.
The developers of Magical Doropie really, really wanted the NES to have translucent layers. (Alert: flashing.)

http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Appearing_Block - I admit I find it interesting when an insular series keeps repeating little setpieces and ideas. Videogame mantras.
These cruel, heartless things.
I'm impressed at how intelligent these Mr. Gimmick and Trip World bosses are. Enemies that _dodge your attacks_ and _wait for your moves_.
I love that this Mega Man low-gravity code incidentally affects the Robot Masters as well. The duels have become really interesting.
Seeing the geography of your partner's body. Noticing the Place Where You Discovered Happiness as they walk. Hallowed ground in plain sight.
"This city needs to get on the problem of monetising walking. These sidewalks aren't going to privatise themselves."
"In a unanimous verdict, it turns out that filtering conversations for movie quotes and inserting ads after them is, in fact, free speech."
"As you know, money is very important for our company. If you aren't genuinely excited about money too, then, well⌠you see your problem."
"We examined your tweets and we feel you aren't 'money-positive' enough for this position. I'm sorry. Here's the bill for this interview."
The criminal is led into the courtroom, finds the judge is an auctioneer - dozens of prison wardens stride in and start placing bids.
"A number of seeds have escaped a timber farm and become 'wild trees'. Do not approach them until it is determined whose property they are."
"An uproar arose when the world Q*Bert champion was found to be a team of 4 chimpanzees, each a savant in the use of one arrow direction."
"Gentlemen, until we figure out how to tax birds for their use of our power line infrastructure, we're all being massively swindled!"
My very next tumblr update (http://animatedscreenshots.tumblr.com/) will mark 365 days of screenshot GIFs! That's almost a year, and usually is.

http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/4378 - The complete list of games in the 1200-in-1 NES cart.
I like how the 10000000-in-1 cart's menu has multiple pages of romantic tropical background art: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100521134336/bootleggames/images/c/cb/Uncmelody_sequence.gif
This is the most gender-stereotyped boss I've seen in a long time.
Lens flare? In a NES game??
Game jam idea: make games with titles from the 1200-in-1 pirate NES cart:
The 9999999-in-1 pirate NES cart's ROM is just 196,624 bytes large. That means it has⌠six videogames⌠per binary digit.
"The first Famicom lacked a lockout chip, instead binding a tiny demon to each console. The demon could be easily eaten by a level 10 cat."
"Apple followed up the Apple I with the Apple ][, Apple ///, Apple |\/, Apple ><, Apple |_, Apple (, Apple |), and finally the Apple ^^."

"And with that latest, awfulest pun, he suddenly transformed into a giant pearl, as if encased by the immune system of the entire universe."
"He remembers a time when rain naturally struck him as a wonder, a miracle. Now he feels grumpy that he has to explicitly remind himself."
"This opulent plant says that it should receive the entire watering can, and the 'trickle-down effect' will provide for the pots below it."
"These upper-crust plants have subscribed to Rain Premium⌠Each drop has a rich blend of nitrogen, calcium and a single grain of gold dustâŚ"
"Suddenly an invisible block strikes Mario out of nowhere, as if manifested ex nihilo by the collective malevolence of the universe itself!"
Puzzle-based boss fights that are so esoteric and conceptual that they mostly resemble performing a sketch you don't have the script for.
"Do something complicated to stun the boss, then something else within a time limit to actually do damage" just doesn't feel like fighting.
Game idea: You're married to an architect. At the end you bitterly gunfight through the building your late spouse designed in the beginning.
"This'll be a dangerous mission. Better bring all the spare limbs." *walks toward morgue with 'armoury' crudely painted on the door*
Those cozy backwater internet forums where everyone has either one-digit post counts or five-digit post counts.
I think you can tell a lot about a videogame by how large and dense its save files are.
-Yes, this is gorgeous, but it was immediately followed by what may be the most tedious boss fight I've seen this year.
#IPlayed Pid. Feels like Super Mario Galaxy without the galaxy. Pretty but sluggish.
You crawl into the grimy tunnel. The mud grips your hands like a parting heartbroken lover. Your mind really needs to stay on track here.
You descend into a 6 feet by 6 feet chamber. The feet are all rubbing each other and curling their toes in a truly debaucherous fashion.

A wild feeling of stomach-tickling glee comes over you, knowing you are doomed to a slime attack, and no force in the universe can save you.
You knew when you engulfed your future self in slime that you'd relive it from the other side, but you never knew how diabolical you were.
"Art game. Interactive fiction. Music game. Rhythm game. Role-playing game. What art forms remain that the videogame has yet to intrude?!"

If you begin a tweet with "@ " it gets sent to the account of the Nameless Thing at Language's End whom only silence can properly describe.
You're sure if you stab this anthill enough times you'll hit the Self Destruct Ant and then you can go in and collect your missing flesh.
The healer says that people who don't perpetually carry swords have a life expectancy of 75 years. You're so surprised you stab yourself.
You ready your sword as you step into the bone-white Room of Waiting. Skulls gaze at you from inside the heads of fellow patients.
"The dream: to stand in all 7 puddles of Legendary Mud. Impossible? Maybe⌠unless you follow your spirit!"
"Here's a rejected product of luxury firearm breeding - a gun the size of a bear, carefully foraging this quarry for rocks of its caliber."
Nightmare sequence where, as you walk around, you turn and notice the location you just passed through has turned into a matte backdrop.
First-person shooter vehicle segment that uses extremely unconvincing rear projection.
You unpack your luggage only to find your possessions have changed into black cubes marked "This content is unavailable in your region".
You're certain that this enemy corpse still doesn't suspect that it's being spied on.
Renegade ROM hack of Ocarina of Time where you never leave Kokiri Village and have to navigate immortal forest kid politics for 5 hours.
This game is difficult⌠to make looping GIFs out of.
An inversion of Bubble Bobble - you must prevent enemies from slowly collecting all the letters in the words "GAME OVER".
And so you search for the statue whose lips are parted just enough to admit a tongue. You dim your lantern in case someone arrives.

"Our scientists are leading the pack in creating street-lamps that grow from seeds. Our denuded woods shall be reborn, modern and safer."

I really love that in the arcade game The End, the game ends when the aliens arrange the bricks to spell out the words THE END.
"Maybe I shall be visited by a dream that is utterly insensible, where my career failures invite sympathy and pity instead of bitter scorn."
"I pray, for one night, my sleeping mind will accomplish what my waking mind cannot, and envision me successful and liked by all I respect."
"Oh, would that this night's sleep bring fanciful dreams of wealth so vivid and strong that my shabby room brings me to tears when I wake."

"Sadly, the Final Chamber Victory Exit was deemed a structural weakness, and is now sealed. The ending sequence will instead be narrated."
Giant footprints appear invisibly in the sand, advancing towards you. You pray the sand is soft enough to absorb you beneath the final step.
"Since becoming unemployed, all of his clocks had become novelty ornaments that magically looked different every time he glanced at them."
"Surgery revealed he had a second circulatory system, a 'darkstream' by which his cells exchanged pirated nutrients and anti-brain screeds."
The crackle of dawn gunfire, each keystroke a bullet. The opening salvo in a daily war against silence and oblivion.
That brief repose between the time you wake up and the time when the distant howling wail from your own mind becomes audible again.
"This combo-fueled escape craft can only launch in 5 min. if you shoot a zombie and it rolls over 4 other zombies on the way down."
"God gave us the moon to test mankind. And now we've learned to land on it, we must blow it up to keep our enemies from doing the same!"
It's springtime, and that spells the return of the Clock Gecko.
Goblet Grotto supplementary paragraph LIV.
ZiGGURAT cleared! I admit I'm grateful that an endless score-attack game has a specific point which, if surpassed, counts as 'winning' it.
"This," he hisses, "is a gun! And guess what?" He grins. "It's loaded!" He pauses. "With bullets!" He drops to a whisper. "Made of metal."

"Weird 11-finger gesture on iPad reveals strange alien-looking screen? 'Earth Invasion Console'? I told my son not to jailbreak this oneâŚ"
"Oh, but I love fighting giants!⌠The slow thudding of their footsteps makes my knees shake like jellyâŚ"
ZiGGURAT observation: Switching off the music makes it very easy to tell the gun's charge level just by ear. Sorry @mistertoups.
Kinda wanna make a Twine game that's just a series of #NaNoWriMoOpeners, and the only options are "delete & start over" and "roll with it".

In addition to permadeath, here's permawin: once you beat the game with a particular character, they become locked permanently.
I feel like for this sort of survival game, an "average score (last 5 games)" stat would be more clarifying than just an average score.
"Earth has had many owners - natives and visitors. It has always belonged to whoever is foolish enough to briefly think it worth taking."
I do sort of like how ZiGGURAT's aliens are as much skeletons as they are spacesuits - reminiscent of 80s science-fantasy game themes.
#IPlayed ZiGGURAT. Hmm. Somehow, it gives me the idea for a roguelike where you must simply survive for 256 moves.
