Crayon Physics Deluxe

A physics game, in that you draw stuff to do stuff, with the goal of making a ball go into a star.

Generally annoying and ugly.

Avadon - The Black Fortress

A simple turn-based strategy with what appears to be a hell of a lot of reading of text in an unfortunate font.

Properly titled Avadon: The Black Fortress

I can see how this would be fun, but it isn't for me. Sliding around when moving is annoying as fuck and was a gimmick back from whatever super nintendo super mario brothers game..

My first startup gave a fucked up black-ish screen that wouldn't even let me alt-f4. alt-tab didn't work either, but win-d let me see my desktop and right-click > close it.
Pressing a random other key to jump is annoying. Jump means cursor up.. no exception.
Fuck.. sliding around is dumb.

An awkward shooter which has a music player. I guess the music is related to the gameplay, but I don't see how.

Online radio song selection.
Really shit folder selection. I accidentally hit upon v to use a proper windows dialog.
Cannot choose a folder and have it recursively search.

An interactive movie. I'm not even going to bother installing this "game".

A side-scrolling shooter.

Great sound, great music. I like the gameplay a lot, but it's not my thing.

Build ships, visit different star systems, and fight.

A remake of a flash game, where the flash game is significantly better though low-resolution.

I like it, but it's simple and feels like it needs more. At the very least it's repetitive as hell.

I couldn't figure out one of the early stages and gave up.

Beautiful and fun. This would make for an excellent children's game. I got the idea, but otherwise didn't get into it.

I couldn't find a website offhand.
