Played the beta versions of FRACT and Tiny & Big.

FRACT was trippy in the extreme, and was like a cross between Neuromancer and Myst by the artist of Darwinia. It was just downright freaky. The reward for completion is access to a sort of audiovisual mixing deck/sound board in a kind of mechanocrystalline technocathedral inside the island. It was decent fun, and even a novice like myself managed to knock out something decent. It's with screenshots in the video below.



Tiny and Big had the sort of soft cel-shaded look that immediately reminds me of OANST and his various Double Fine obsessions, and a fine soundtrack to boot - you have a radio strapped to your back and you just pick the songs you like.

It was short, naturally, but it's basically a platformer in which you have to build the platforms yourself, cutting through aztec masonry with a laser, tugging them down with cables or pushing them away with rockets. Worth a go, it's surprising it hasn't been done before.

After completing it I spent twenty minutes setting bits of rock spinning with rockets then trying to make them crash into each other.
