Courtesy of thewreck’s (of Oxeye Games fame) past comes this classic: Bilen Som Hoppar (The car that jumps!)
And woo-ee, is it a gooden. It’s pretty much Sexy Automobiling only sexier. That is, it contains small pictures of fellatio and dominatrices throughout the levels, hand-pixelled by 14 year old thewreck!
The other reason you should play it though, and the cause for the sexy hiking comparison, is the frustratingly bugged out physics engine, which is what causes the car to jump in the first place. Delicious!
This is so unbelievably geeky and amazing. A Japanese guy creates an insanely difficult Super Mario World hack called “Kaizu Mario” and records his friend playing it. Eventually the video ends up on YouTube, under the mistranslated title “Asshole Mario,” and becomes a cult hit. Inspired by the hack, an intrepid fan in turn hacks the Super Nintendo emulator SNES9x so that he can superimpose all of his 134 attempts to beat the first stage onto a single recording (seen above), and then uses the recording to explain theories behind quantum physics.
I love it.
The hacked emulator and quantum physics are here, and the Kaizu Mario patch is here (IPS patcher required).
Toribash 3.0 has been released to much fanfare. So much that the site and forums have been down for much of this week. (But now they’re back up.)
There are many major additions to this version of the game including shaders, environments, and the possibility of 2-on-1 or 2-on-2 matches. And best of all, the game is absolutely free to play once again! Yay, alternative business strategies!
Content Directors for this year’s IGF, Steve Swink and Matthew Wegner (a.k.a. Flashbang Studios), have recently released a quirky, physics-based puzzle game called Splume, made in only four short weeks as part of a new development path experiment they’re conducting. In Splume you shoot balls that attach to other balls… and… wait, why am I describing this when you could simply watch the video, or, in just a few more mouse clicks, play the game? Here’s what’s important: It’s fun and polished and free.
So apparently Flashbang will continue releasing compact games like this for some months, then decide which games are the best to flesh out into “full” versions. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
Splume has an online scoretable, level editor, and live feed of recent play history across the galaxy. Check it out. And enjoy.
