Finally! A game that explores the pac-man like reality of being a pedophilic ice cream truck driving werewolf. Pure arcade gameplay: collect waffle cones, avoid police, serve delicious ice cream to dedicated customers.

The original Diner Dash! :)
A decade old classic, from the golden era of classic flash gaming. The goal is to maintain the cleanliness of peep show booths at the Jerk-a-Torium. "Over 70,000 people played JizzMoppa in its original incarnation before it was pulled due to excessive bandwidths costs."

Glow Artisan is a handheld (Nintendo DS) game that just won best mobile game design at this year's Independent Games Festival. It's a purely abstract puzzle game about translating shapes from one place to another that is hard to describe. In fact, it's probably entirely incorrect to say that it's one big beautiful extrapolation of the Fox, Chicken, and Bag of Corn puzzle. Also the first game that one of my best friends from college has designed.

▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ BABYCASTLES ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆


Babycastles, New York's first independent games arcade, is named after bite-size portugese cakes in Japan. As a new function of a legendary all-ages venue for Brooklyn music and other local DIY-culture, Babycastles offers a physical place to play games made by amateur and independent game developers. The arcade is open four or five nights a week during shows at the Silent Barn, and during the afternoon on Sundays. Babycastles throws an opening party for new games every month, with fresh fruit smoothies, talks by game developers, and plenty of opportunity to play games.
