…but also because it shows how great our brain is!"

- Adam Saltsman (Austin)

A simple one-button action game where you are in control of a well-dressed man who can't stop running, leaping from the top of one building to another as the city is being attacked by giant robots and futuristic-looking ships. Created for Experimental Gameplay Project's August theme, 'Bare Minimum'.

A foddy Babycastles exclusive! This is a mutiplayer one-button game that was recently rejected by Kokoromi's Gamma 4. Definitely requires alcohol to make champions.

- Tristan Perich (New York)

Originally debuting in the back of Blip Festival 2007, KILLJET is Tristan Perich's contribution to lo-fi video game culture. The entire 1-bit video game runs out of a single digital pin of a programmable microchip, which is soldered directly into the television screen. Anamanaguchi forever holds the high score.

Babycastles, New York's first independent games arcade, is named after bite-size portugese cakes in Japan. As a new function of a legendary all-ages venue for Brooklyn music and other local diy-culture, Babycastles is a wall of six lovingly decorated arcade cabinets that offers a physical place to play games made by amateur and independent game developers. The arcade is open four or five nights a week, during every show at the Silent Barn. The venue throws an opening party every few weeks for a new collection of arcade games, with the game developers present, music, drinks, and plenty of opportunity to get together and love games.
