This short maze game is inspired by Op-Art pioneers like Reginald Neal. It combines two ideas: first, your brain can easily segment areas of an image based on the direction of shading, without any color or tone information to help… making the game quite playable. Second, this kind of image causes conflict as your eyeball moves, making it really annoying to play.
I used it as a talking point in my microtalk on optical effects in games, from GDC 2016.
This is the second time I hid an assignment for my prototypes in a game. See if you can find the secret prompt.
For 2017 I made Last Word, a little action word game where the difficulty increases as your words get longer. There’s a proper videogame version (with no prompt hidden inside it) here. Made in Terry’s Haxegon engine, a nice ultra-minimal Haxe library which is perfect for small prototypes. I love using engines that build to the web as well as native targets – makes it very easy to share prototypes without asking the player to do anything more annoying than play the actual game (which might already be quite annoying, honestly).
I made this little game as a way of learning Terry Cavanagh’s work-in-progress game engine, Haxegon. It’s a bullet-hell game where you are always trying to eat a particular bullet… you try to build unique words to gain points, but it’s game over if you form a series of letters that cannot be a word. I think this is a new idea? But I’m not totally sure.

The main objective of our game is to prove the feasibility of using the concept of GWAP for the segmentation and labeling of massive amounts of 3D human body scan data. Accurate segmentation and labeling of 3D human body scan data is of paramount importance in many areas of research. The purpose of this game is to re-channel the efforts and the hours spent by game players to the collection of segmentation and labeling through gameplay, making the process more fun and utilizing these hours spent for entertainment in a purposeful manner.
