Adam Atomic's "minimalist" action/arcade side-scrolling game about a man fleeing the destruction of his city is both remarkably well presented, and fiendishly addictive. Vault over the obstacles in your path as you try to stay alive
and get the high score. Those giant robots rampaging in the background? They're not there to play patty-cake, so we'd keep moving, if we were you.
Canabalt is stupidly addictive. Love it.
Tiny Game would have been nice without the hackers...
Am so glad Icycle was high on the list although imho I preferred it to Canabalt but brilliant all the same.
Icycle is probably my favourite game of the year actually. Although I love Canabalt as well!
Music Catch was incredible. I really didn't get the appeal of Canabalt... (maybe b/c I wasn't very good at it?)
