Brilliant idea to make a game about explosive decompression, in my opinion. Evacuation is a collaboration between Benzido (QWOP, Too Many Ninjas), the master of the one-screen Flash game, and programmer Ryan Chisholm. The goal in each of Evacuation’s 200 levels is to eject all of the man-eating aliens from the space shuttle by opening and closing the various colored cargo doors on the ship. Just be careful not to fling your own crew members into space! And there are a couple of other catches: 1. opening or closing a door will toggle other, similarly-colored doors open or closed, and 2. you must keep the captain and all officers alive or else you lose.
Because the levels are procedurally-generated the difficulty can feel slightly indeterministic. But like all of Benzido’s games, Evacuation is fast and fun and very addictive.

I’m not sure I could explain, in words, what Benzido’s Qwop is about any better than the above screenshot can. This must be what it’s like for a baby to try and walk!

Top Spinner is an addictive new game from the creator of Too Many Ninjas, Mr. Benzido. TS is a batting game based on cricket, which is known in the U.S. as “What in God’s name have they done to baseball?!” In reality, however, cricket was probably invented sometime in the 16th century, making it an ancient sport of kings, or some such. Silly Americans.
The goal of the game is to keep swatting balls away from the stump behind you. If the stump falls over or if you hit a ball into one of the “out” zones, it’s over.
