Very Pink Game
Platform: Windows
Short and sweet, Very Pink Game is an adventure game created by sheepherds using RPG Maker 2003. It stars a lonely little girl named Ivy who receives a letter from a friend asking her to meet outside of town. In order to make it out of the pink village, though, Ivy has to solve a series of puzzles, helping the townsfolk go about their day by finding lost items, answering riddles, and solving problems. Just like (a very pink-colored) real life!
Very Pink Game isn't a very long experience, nor does it present epically challenging puzzles, massive boss battles, or twisted storylines. What it does provide are cute locations, relatable characters, and everyday situations you'll feel compelled to solve. It's all very charming in an afternoon diversion sort of way. Simple and enjoyable, which is sometimes exactly the kind of diversion we need. Sheepherds plans to turn the release into a series of color-themed games, so once you get hooked on the pink goodness, get ready for some sort of plaid adventure in the future!

This game was sweet, I like how all the people had cute little animations for standing still. That plus the music reminded me very much of Atari 2600 games. This game wasn't terribly deep but definitely worth the few minutes it took to play if for no other reason than to enjoy its aesthetic qualities.
However I just installed the RPG Maker program in order to play this game. I'm not sure how to interface with the RPG Maker to adjust the game's graphics settings. It has stretched the standard game screen to fill my widescreen monitor - not terribly easy on the eyes.
