Oh my god this blog why did no one tell me about this guy until now! Illustrated wonderful terrible game ideas, every day. I think it was this Hansel and Gretel-theme game entitled "And You Shall Know Us By The Trail Of Bread" that did it for me.
Oh, okay, nope, it was this The Shining-themed kart racer.
I want to make all of these games.
An old file I found a while back, barely remember compiling the thing together but here it is for posterity. Some of it's from earlier times, aka 5 years back. Some of it was recently put together, aka 2 months ago. Might have some almost cursing so if you're offended by about to curses, then you'll probably play it anyway and be offended by it, as I did by my own product. In any case, enjoy the screenshot if you don't want to go through the "adventure" and such. Take care
I got the idea for this game from the title of Kenta Cho's new game Deadly Balls Bounce. The game itself is inspired by Hundreds and Minesweeper.
Controls:
WASD - Move.
Left click - Tag ball.
Tag only the dangerous bellyballs to win the level. The dangerous bellyballs bounce off the edges of the screen, whereas the harmless ones wrap around.

Made this in a few hours a while ago. Can you get all three endings? Probably not. I think one of them is impossible. It might just be subpixel-perfect though, so give it a try, if you dare. Controls: Arrows and (X/C or Space/Ctrl)
Download the demo over at Llamasoft.
Notable for reasons obvious in the above screenshots, and also because Jeff Minter sings his own theme music (traditional English folk song Country Gardens, also used in the original Hover Bovver. Listen to miditastic rendition with bonus psychedelic colourshift visuals here.)

Get it while it's hot.

Is the regular Klik of the Month Klub at an absurdly inconvenient time? Then try the Ladies' Auxiliary Klik of the Month Ball! (Ladies' Auxiliary Klik of the Month Ball is open to all genders and time zones.) The Ball takes place at 4PM GMT -- check that link to see what time that falls on for you.
The rules are the same: You get two hours to make a game in Klik & Play. If Klik & Play is a hindrance rather than a boon to your creativity, feel free to dump it for the game creation tool of your choice. If you're new to Klik & Play, check out our Learning KNP FAQ.
It's no fun making games by yourself in a vacuum, so make sure to stop by IRC. Our server is irc.freenode.net, and our channel is #glorioustrainwrecks. There's also got a Mumble voice chat server -- just connect to glorioustrainwrecks.com using Mumble and you can talk to us like real human beings!
After you've made your game, you should upload it here!
For more information, check out the N00B FAQ.
