The first game from Digital Eel, the multi-IGF Award-winning developer of the excellent Strange Adventures in Infinite Space among others, Plasmaworm is best described as "Snake on acid."
The Digital Eel guys recently decided to release it as freeware, so cool, check it out.
Lost in the Static is visually striking game, quite unlike anything you've seen before. As you can immediately understand from the screenshot. Right?
Well, no, you can't. Let's try again. Lost in the Static is a conventional, short, enjoyable platformer with nothing particularly innovative about the gameplay. But the mechanism by which it produces its images is highly unusual, with effective music that (purposefully, one assumes) carries a sense of the static you might get by playing music on an old AM radio or a 45 turntable, providing an interesting and artistic emotional frame for the game itself.
