Post Preeeety lights...
OK. This was originally going to be a 'help plox' thread, but I've found a way to legitimise it a bit further. I've always had a love for games with a simple colour palette. Games like Geometry Wars, Canabalt on the iPhone or even Tetris, anything with a stark, colourful look to it is going to draw me in.

Now, you might have noticed that the three games above are pretty simple (Geometry Wars - shoot ♥♥♥♥; Canabalt - jump ♥♥♥♥; Tetris - block ♥♥♥♥), and I guess that's a part of it too.

So! The goal of this thread is basically, if you've got 'em, to share games like this - little, simple, original-looking games. PC, iPhone, Xbox, whatever takes your fancy.

For Apple-users, here are two: Unify and Eliss

Ulterior motives tiem: Need more iPhone games like this. Long-term games (like GTA) don't really work. Anything I can play for thirty seconds and then put down that also looks bitching is perfect.


Cheers,
- The-Masses

Try out Lint Line. Good beats with simple gameplay, stark colors.
