Agreeable mentalist Jason Nelson has a new game. Following on from the previously covered game, game, game and again game and the previously uncovered I made this. You play this. We are enemies. we have Evidence Of Everything Exploding. Like his previous games it marries simple, surreal gameplay with an overwhelming array of random Dada-simulation. This time, uses “documents, both historical and little-known from NASA, James Joyce, Dadaism, Neil Gaiman, Fidel Castro, the Pizza Box Patent” and so on. Also, videos when you die on each level and… oh, I don’t know art, but I know what I like. And I like giving my frontal lobes a good pummeling.
I dislike a title being so long I can’t fit in any of the Dada’s Gone, Come To Dada or Dada, Dada, You Bastard, I’m Through. Admittedly, I’d have never been able to fit the last one in anyway.

This Jason Nelson chap clearly has a diseased mind.
It’s as if he’s under the influence of some parasitic will and these games are its spores trying to infect the rest of us.
Or maybe I’ve just been reading to many equation heavy papers this morning and my own mind is beginning to fracture.

I don’t have a clue what’s going on there. That might be more about me than the game.

Not a game for dyslexic people. Neither was Deus ex, but I guess you learn to live without.

It was alright, but it woulda worked better if at about level 6 it started started harassing you for trademark violations for reproducing the EEE arrow, and level 8 called you a dirty thief for reproducing the DOWN DOWN LEFT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT UP UP key pattern beyond the fair use minimum of one time.

Dense enough to be playable. Theres a word in the english language for making games like this ones: jamelnesinsig.. On the other part, theres a word in the english language for recycling mechanics: recycling, all the games feel somewhat like the same game.

The matchbook side-story is excellent.
(Only on Level 2. Still quite entertained.)

Hey, it’s another game that ends with a song! We haven’t had enough of those lately. I think this one’s really* going to make it big!
*probably not.**
*but it’s still hilarious.
