I can’t wait to see what Amanita Design manages to accomplish in a full-length adventure game. His previous flash works deserve all the accolade they can get, if only for the incredible visual inventiveness.

And that Osmos game is sexy.

@Twit Ki Tweeserz
YHTBTP: innovation? That’s invalidated the whole thing in my terrific eyes.

It’s a bit like having a Greatest Rock Songs of All Time contest and nominating Tenacious D’s Tribute. Hopefully they’re just picking up the joke and running with it, albeit somewhat clumsily.

I’ve been waiting to try Osmos since it entered last year’s competition, and am thankful to now have the chance: it’s wonderful!

Such a simple and gentle play-mechanic, great music, attractive graphics…this is my pick for this year’s winner!

No, he just wants you to submit.

Also deeply sorry.

I just had a quick go on Osmos.

Man, I am so going to spend all evening playing that when I get home. I love games like that.

I don’t get how junk is on this site which isn’t on the net.

Do you submit your works to it then? So much stuff must never even reach the view of this contest.

Does that mean that somewhere in that list is this year’s World of Goo?

Excuse me, the link to Night Game needs fixing.

I notice a couple of games in silhouette, which is nice, as I do like the word silhouette. Also, what’s the latest on “Limbo”?

I meant 2007 by that. And yes, I was getting my dates wrong. Carry on…
