Most of you are probably aware of this, but I feel the need to even so show this to those that are unaware.

Experimental Gameplay, has a theme per month, and regardless of game engine it asks people to make games in 7 days based on that theme. I've played many games unaware they were runner-ups and winners of this competition. I think Braid and World of Goo were entries. But not sure.

Anyhow check it out. ;)
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Yeah, many indie games have been inspired by the experimental gameplay project. One worth mentioning is Crayon Physics Deluxe. Anyway, it's worth noting that this competition is especially for experimental gameplay, so making a classic point & click for the competition doesn't really make much sense.

Haha yeah, Braid was an entry. It look a *lot* different back then  ;D

Some cool ideas and games have developed from this competition, and it has been running for ages :D

Haha I know, right? Still makes me giggle when I look at the original graphics  :D
