This game looks fantastic. It’s mindlessly simple but it’s all about the style and animation. I feel like I could/would do a bit more with the music stuff, but the breakdancing minigame at the end is a nice piece of punctuation. OR SHOULD I SAY PUNCTUASIAN.
OH MAN.
PLUS IT LITERALLY HAS MY NAME ON IT.
Way, way too cute. Awesome, awesome way to promote a game.
Though games tied to social networking sites are often seen as the next big thing, Preece thinks Flash games still have broader appeal. “People go on about Facebook, but I defy a Facebook game to spread as fast as a normal internet game does,” he says. “Both of our games reached millions of people across a day or two.”
ORLY??? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLYYYYY????

This made my head explode…
This was up for a Webby if I’m not mistaken. It’s an awesome look at the history and evolution of video games from a very basic perspective. Very well done, and something I’m very interesting in. It teaches and shows the user things while they interact with the experience using casual game mechanics. This is obviously instead of watching a video or clicking through a sideshow, which you could have done to display the same information.
People understand games.
