I mentioned the eight Casual Gameplay Competition a month ago. Now I wasn’t able to enter the competition, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the results. Isn’t the internet great?
Each competition has a certain theme, the previous one was on interactive fiction and this time it was all about “sandbox”. So you’re going to see a lot of sand in the 17 entries. But others took the theme a little less literal.
The quality in the games I’ve played (I still have to play a few) is mixed, going from an original idea that wasn’t executed that well to beautifully executed games that rival some of the better stuff out there.
In any case, you can’t argue with 17 free games.
