Leap of Faith
This little orange mouse can’t run or walk, but he can jump.
You have to leap around onto this platforms and reach the yellow one to pass the level. The interesting thing is that if you touch a color one, after jumping off of it, the other of the same color will dissapear, so be careful.
I wish the controls where a bit smoother, sometimes it’s hard to control the little rat.

Ninja Gaiden 3 - NES [Browser]
This game doesn’t get much love, but i like it. It dropped the isometric perspective which is sad, but i dig the upgraded sword and the climbing abilities. What i don’t like is that some of the levels can be very frustating and that they removed the clones; may i ask why?, they where the best powerup!.
The japanese version is better, which has a password system and infinite...

Super Mario Land [Browser]
The first incarnation of the famous plumber in a handheld is not as good as it’s sequel, but it’s a fun game nonetheless.
I love the weird feeling that his game has, the funky music and the power ups make for a weird but fun Mario experience.

16k Lander is a very charming remake of Lunar Lander made entirely on 16kb. Very impressive.
This game got made because of a competition created by 8bitrocket.com that consisted of making a game under 16 kilobites.
So here´s the winner, congrats to blackmoondev!, enjoy.

Runner [Browser]
This game is a mixture of Bit Trip Runner and Canabalt.
You are on rails running to the right and you just have to jump and avoid obstacles. There’s nothing too innovative or particular about this game, it’s just a mix of 2 great games, fun to play and the music is fantastic.
Have a great run!.

Wolfenstein 1-D [Browser]
Well, this is interesting. The classic Wolfenstein 3-D, the grandaddy of all FPSs is transformed to a single pixel line.
The game is pretty hard, you have to very alert of the colors, because they determine if something is an enemy, a key, a door, or else.
There’s really no way of avoiding bullets, so i wish you the best of luck in this interesting take on a classic!.
PS: How i miss...

But That Was [Yesterday] - [Browser]
I won’t tell much because you have to experience this in the best way possible, without knowing much about it.
I’ll just tell you thatyou have to press the keys that appear on the screen, and keep going, in spite of the first few minutes where nothing seems to go on.
Just turn up the volume, turn down the lights, and enjoy.

Never Ending Game?, a MMO?, NO!. It’s just a puzzle game with plenty of difficulty and a lot of levels (more than 90 i think).

Ninja Gaiden 2 - NES [Browser]
My favorite of the NES trilogy. I really like this game despite it´s crushing difficulty and the ridiculos enemy respawn.
It´s really improved over it´s predecesor, and it´s a landmark for NES graphics, music and cutscenes, which where rare at the time.
I personally love the look and feel of the first stage, it´s a perfect example of a great action oriented level.

Propel [Windows]
Propel is a puzzle platformer where you must move a sphere from one point to another, while avoiding hazards and keeping steady with all the gravity changes that ocur.
Although the mechanic and concept are fun, the controls are a bit too floaty for my taste, and when the gravity changes, the keys shouldn´t change either, it´s very inintuitive and it leads to frustration and death.
The upbeat...

Tealy & Orangey [Browser]
Tealy & Orangey is a fun and challenging game created by Tony Gowland.
You have to control both spheres at the same time. It seems easy at first, but the levels rapidly change, giving you quite a challenge. It can be very hard to try to maneuver 2 different objects with the same input, so you better focus.
It’s one of the best and most interesting flash games i’ve played...

I don’t know hoy i missed this game.
There’s a very good article at Gamasutra by Edmund Mcmillen (Super Meat Boy) called Indie Game Design Do-s and Don’t-s: A Manifesto.
I’m not a developer (i work in web design, but i’d love to develop a game), nonetheless, the article is very interesting and should be read by anyone in a creative medium.

Ski Runner [Browser]
This game is so much fun. Is kind of like SkiFree, except that you get pills and get into a trip.
You have to take the pills to stay alive, and by doing so you’re induced into a trip where Moais appears and the trees have faces and dance. Seems fun!.
The game gets x999 extra points for featuring the always classic “Coooombo Breaker”.

Nokoban [Browser]
A variation of Sokoban. In this game you have to get the two blue spheres to the dark squares. Later it adds numbers to the spheres, so you have to be more specific and really think the puzzles through.
The game really should advance you to the next level inmediatly, instead of asking you to rate the level and click the “Next Puz” button.
It’s a fun game anyway.

Here we have a very long name for a fun colorful shooter.
You move with the keyboard and shoot with the mouse (you can shoot with C and X but i find the mouse much more comfortable, because you can aim). With the left button you shoot your standard pellets and with the right one you leave bombs waiting for enemies. Your objective it so survive the longest and get the highest score.

Paddle Wars is a puzzle game with lots of lines and colors. You move an horizontal bar like Arkanoid, but here you’re positioned at the middle and you can shoot squares and bullets.
The game can be a fun time killer, but ii played it on OS X and it didn’t have nay music. It really needs some upbeat music and a more polished UI for the menu and interface.
