Created by Michael Molinari and Chelsea Howe for the San Francisco 2011 48 Hour Global Game Jam, The End Of Us is a surprisingly evocative game about two meteors meeting and playing amidst the strangeness and charm of deep space.

How My Grandfather Won the War is a stunningly beautiful game that is worth a second, and even third play through.
