Free Software: And Yet It Moves

Looking for something to waste a few minutes on, then why not try out this perfect example to prove to Roger Ebert that video games CAN be an art form. In this simple yet elegant side-scrolling puzzle game, not only do you move your character left and right (and up with jumping), but also rotating the world to get through the game's two levels.


And beautiful levels they are, where they are composed entirely of pictures from crumpled up and ripped up paper. The puzzles, though slightly easy, will have you scratching your head for a few moments your first time, as you try to manipulate the game's physics, and try to avoid falling to death with a real sense of gravity.

Its short but sweet, and you can see a truly unique game that will hopefully evolve into something more in the future.
