Hello all! If you don't remember me, I'm the fellow who created The Ascent and SNOW, which I posted on TIGsource in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

I've been busy the past few months with all manner of nonsense, but the most delicious nonsense has been the completion of two new indie games.

The first, Drunken Rampage, was unveiled and released at one of this spring's Hand Eye Society socials here in Toronto. This simple party/drinking game is meant to liven up a party and engage both casual onlookers and social gamers. It requires an Atari controller to play properly, and so far has been a big hit amongst beer-wielding crowds. As Dave Chappelle's Sam Adams would say, "It'll get you drunk!"

The second game, Missing, was recently completed for TO JAM #5 (Toronto's annual weekend-long game-making jam-fest). In this small, lovely title, you search for your missing alien mates amongst ruins; find all fifteen before the sun rises to succeed. It's simple, cute, and plays equally well with a keyboard, gamepad or (my personal favourite) an Atari USB controller.

As always, feedback and comments are appreciated.

Missing was cute, had a good tune to it. Ship was hard to control and the game was a bit easy.

Definitely going to try Drunken Rampage next time I drink with my buddies. Seriously considering picking up one of those legacy USB atari controllers.

The Atari joysticks are wonderful; you quickly remember both how magical yet terrible these things were.

If you get one and give DR a try, let me know what you think.
