The Night and Day theme resulted in 22 new games for the month of November, with popular choices involving zombies, werewolves, baguettes, and a time division multiplexed love affair. Enjoy the games, and let the experimenters know what you think!

Hi, I know it’s a bit late, but I hope it still can be accepted.
(worst thing is that it was ready by the 30th but I got a problem publishing it that took me two days of whining and cursing to figure out).

It’s a 2-player game where there’s only one character. The goal is to gain and keep control of him. (the 2 players must be in front of the same screen, one using the keyboard, the other the mouse)
nb : I credited a friend of mine for the drawings, but I actually redrawn & photoshoped everything myself… so I guess that doesn’t count as exterior help, does it ?

@Rob Lockhart
Shadow Vampire is neat but gets unplayable on the third level (the level with the water). The FPS drops to single digits, the rest of the game seems to run fine though.

I haven’t played all the games yet, and since, I’ve got the feeling that it is one of the best experimental project ever!
A lot of ideas, a lot of innovative gameplays, some brand news experimenters…
I would like to review all of these games!

@Chevreuil
Very addictive. I wish a different feedback between die and win.
@Marcos
Figground is Awesome!
@Increpare
About Cities of Day and Night. I need more time to explore better the world. I got hooked by the mysterious enviroment.
@Luke Brown
I really liked the Day Machine mechanic. I think it would fit better for exploration, instead of collecting coins.
@Built by Man
Very very adictive, couldn’t stop playing, I felt inside some time management casual game with zombies. The collision inside the house at the center of the screen is kind of frustrating.
@Rob Lockhart
Very nice. I wish I could eat the peasants. :-)
That is all my feedback by now. Great theme.

Martin: Thanks! I am working in a better version (with more shape types for the pieces). Any suggestion is welcome!

Cheers Martin, glad you liked it. This was definitely one of the best themes for a while, congrats to all!
