Problem Attic by Liz Ryerson
An artistic game that perfectly embodies its theme. In a world without clear stories, vibrant color blocks and patterns fill the space, accompanied by pervasive noise and screen-shaking intensity. Navigating through unconventional puzzles, the gameplay is a delightful mix of surreal sensations.

birdsong by Daniel Linssen
Bird Song, an exhilarating platform-jumping game with a captivating fisheye lens effect. The entire game map is condensed into a single screen, adding a visually stunning twist to traditional platform jumping. It introduces a fresh challenge, requiring precise jumps in a non-planar display. The level design cleverly uses the fisheye lens to provides players with a clear sense of direction, while those in the distance remain enticingly obscured.

play mario by d.h.croasdill
In this faux Mario adventure, Mario's controls are intentionally misleading and ineffective. The progression relies on text-based dialogues, and players must decide the extent to which they want to "deceive the game." This game shatter preconceived notions and completely upend players' expectations, challenging them to question and rethink everything they thought they knew about gaming.
