Best of the Net: 100 Things
January 31st, 2010
2010 is off to a good start, with you lot making 14 games for this theme, each varying wildly from the next.
Check them out!
Denatured, by Toodice
You control 1 of 49 motes. Avoid getting too many electrons, while firing them at your opponents. Once you or an enemy collects 4 motes it’s game over!
99 Bottles of Beer, by Marcos
A sobering look at designated driving (yeah I went there!). Avoid heat seeking bottles of beer. Get hit at they swarm on you, beating you into merciful, blissful unconsciousness.
An atmospheric herding game. Fire small repulsing shots at floating cubes to get them into THE FIELD.
The Chronicles of Bim: The 100 Fake Afros, by Treeman
I knew a Bim once. I don’t think she went a shooting spree against 100’s of afros though. Seriously, this game is HARD.
The title is accurate, but if you love achievements you’ll enjoy this one.
100 Things, by Marc-Andre Weibezahn
Search and eliminate tiles by category, looking for the largest clump of similarly colored adjacent tiles.
50 Rocks, 50 Guns, by Mathew Elvey Price
A more modern take on Asteroids, using a crap ton of weapons.
Collect water droplets (I think that’s what those squiggly lines are) to grow the size of your bubble, then absorb others.
Mr. McDougal’s Marvelous Upside-Down Electrotree, by Ben Wilhelm
Not only holding the distinction of being the most ridiculous game title here (though Bim was close), this is an interesting rotating puzzle game.
Juggler’s Duel, by Tobias Wehrum
A charming rhythm matching game with a little bit of a learning curve. Could also help you finally get over your fear of clowns.
Judge the souls of the dead in this biblical nudging game. The indirect control is definitely worth checking out, as it adds up to some interesting moments.
Looks like fun, but I can’t seem to find the game’s executable in the .zip file. Anyone have any luck?
Switch control between multiple enemies, using their powers to kill each other.
Beulah and the Hundred Birds, by Jake Elliot
A serene exploration game about collecting a flock of 100 birds. Jake has also made the source code available if anyone is interested. RPS Link!
*UPDATE*
3 More entries, just under the wire:
Try to stay focused in this meditation based game. I wasn’t able to make it to 100 items, but it is fun to get distracted – a tad risque as well.
I read once that people have a hard time maintaining more than 150 relationships. Let’s see if you can maintain 100!
Dodge swarming enemies to random streaming music.
