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.
