Oh.. I also made games with Ben304 and the Primordia guys that you might want to play (And totally rate fairly (highly))

I participated. Here's mine. Done totally by myself.

Simon and the Dragonfly King

It's an extremely short adventure game, but not using AGS (sorry guys). It uses Gamemaker Studio.

I see that Yathzee guy everyone keeps mentioning in the jury panel! And many other guys! And Notch! That's the guy who made the game where you grow wheat, right?

Got to play the entries sometimes. There's some cool stuff on display there.

Here's our game:
Teacher's Pet

The game wasn't running at first, they fixed it, but now the resolution is a bit screwed up... Oh well...

Had a very quick look at Salt, it looks gorgeous.
Will try to play the games during the weekend.

I'm stuck on Salt.

Spoiler

I'm trying to unscrew the screws on the cage, and I think to use the salt from the barrel on the screws to melt the frost. I do that, but it doesn't work and now I have no salt, and can't get any more from the barrel.

Could you kindly give me a hint

I have to say so far it's a gorgeous looking game. The snow effects are the best I've ever seen in an AGS game, if not in any lo-res adventure game.
The effect of the guy's breath is also a lovely touch, if a bit buggy (when he is facing away from the camera, the breath appears elsewhere on the screen, at the same level to his mouth but feet away from him.

As for Like a Raisin, I'm not allowed to play it because my graphics card apparently doesn't support pixel effects (Error: graphics.lua:1365) :-(

I'l try to play Erenan, Tzachs and Greg's games in due course :-)

Maybe you could try heating the snow somehow...

Ahh, I'd missed the lighter. I was sure I'd hovered by it a number of times and got the 'books' label, so assumed it was one of the books. A bit of more accurate cursor pointing revealed it to be a lighter

Well, finished Salt. That was a lovely little game.

And Like a Raisin in the Sun is featured quite prominently at the very top of RockPaperShotgun, with some great comments too:
