Game Game Game Game: Eufloria

I know I don't usually post much on this blog other than the project I last finished, but in this case I think it's merititious to mention Eufloria, my latest Indie game obssession. It feels visually similar to flOw, whilst playing out something like an incredibly relaxing RTS made by buddhists with a taste for swedish minimalism. Paring back the RTS to its' bare essentials, the entire game is played without ever leaving the mousepad, with right-click providing all the context necessary; it feels playable for simply anyone. But whilst this game satisfies me deeply for its' gameplay, the aesthetics beneath it are truly impressive, and a hallmark of the best indendant games on the market. (and also VALVe.) See the trailer here and then grab the demo here to see what I mean.
