Lightmare

Lightmare is the latest release from Edit Mode Games (aka Kevin Oke). Like Kevin’s other games (most notably, the Robotron-inspired satire Consumer CULTure), Lightmare is simple in concept and execution, but saddled with ample amounts of charm. I really like this description of one of the obstacles in the readme:

Avoid cars driven by teenagers out for a late night spin – their judgement has been impaired by all the root beer and greasy hamburgers they’ve been indulging in all night.

The goal of the game is simple. As a hungry vampire, you must avoid light and cars to reach the vial of blood at the end of each stage. Apparently man-made light hurts vampires as much as the sun does! That’s got to make life difficult for a modern-day bloodsucker (and for the people playing as one in a video game).

“to reach the vial of blood at the end of each stage”

???

A vampire game where you don’t suck blood, but just have to find vials of blood? Sounds too G-rated!

Will try it though.

I didn’t really enjoy this. The graphics were cute, but could’ve used some more animating. The platforming was average and after the first levels I found it extremely hard and gave up.

The music annoyed me as well.

I really like the colors but I don’t think there should be lives!

WinRAR
Google

Typing “rar” into Google’s search box would have put an end to your life-long torment, oh yes.

I prefer 7zip for unraring/ unzipping/ un7zipping. Unlike WinRAR it is freeware. WinRAR is shareware.
