A very small notgame about Freedom Bridge, in Korea. Takes about two minutes to play through.

What people are saying:

One of the most intense interactive experiences I’ve ever had. I went on and watched some short documentaries about Korea afterwards in order to process the tension it had left me with (mitsche, FlashPunk Forums).

One of the best video games I’ve played all year (Fraser McMillan, Resolution Magazine).

An excellent demonstration of how you can use the medium to really have an impact (Brooks Harrel, college student with a ‘starving artist’ passion for game design).

Short, to the point, and beautiful (benedict, FlashPunk Blog).

Very much worth the quick playthrough! (GameSetWatch).

I often take issue with games this short and message-centric, but it was very effective (Bryan Suchenski).

Here, despite being the barest representation possible, is something far more deeply affecting than the biggest budget “emotional experience” being crafted today (Eolirin, Raph Koster’s Blog).

Best flash game ever? (multiple posts on Twitter).

A game I created with the help of Mitchell Hillman in an “extended weekend” (five days) for the mini Ludum Dare #14 48-hour game creation competition. The theme of the compo was “Tragedy and/or Comedy.” I decided to tackle the tragedy theme head on by creating a game about genocide. It ended up tying for second place overall, out of the thirteen entries. I’ve since polished and tweaked the game a bit.

The game is short (five levels), and shouldn’t take long to play through. If you find a level too frustrating or difficult, you can use the “N” key to skip to the next one. 

You can find discussion related to the game and a link to an old, more challenging version with a time limit at the TIGSource Forums.

Awesome effort (Alex Higgins, Zandair Studios)

This was my second ever large game project (in high school), and my first attempt to collaborate with others. I designed the game, and created the graphics, but relied on “online friends” for the code and sound. Where Unga Bunga was a decidedly unpolished and amateur effort but nevertheless a success, Mission: Land! was a bit more polished, but a failure in most respects. The gameplay was okay, never particularly satisfying, and the collaboration eventually fell apart, never allowing the game to be fully realized. The upshot of it all is that the final version that was released doesn’t even run properly on most modern computers. Ah well, a learning experience.
