you're right when you're saying it is not a game. the right label would be art IMO, because it is thought provokeing. You even say (/yell) at the player, or in this case me, that it isn't a game but I didn't believe you and still tried to get that piece of cake or treasure box imagined in my head because my gamer-mind is so trained to solve the puzzle or train my fingers to make those precise movements. thx for sharing this with us!

I really like this gem. Maybe it can be called a "computer vignette". I like this term.

Played it, löved it. I can't get enough of these mind skewing nuggets! You should release it (I think it is good as it is though).

Keep 'em coming!

What an unexpected revival of this thread, glad you liked it.

not a game was in fact "released" and shown on several art displays during 2011 including SPIELSALON, Beyond Festival and the annual Sommerloch exhibiton. There is even a magazine article (german only, sorry) featuring the game. Sadly all this did not produce any revenue (at lest for me). :roll:

Well, you got some love from people around (including me), and that's a revenue one cannot quantify. :awesome:
I remember having tested it a long while ago, and actually i still find it awesome.
