Interesting Links – Robot Unicorn Attack (game)

Yes, you guessed it! Robot unicorns! Attacking! But as with all unicorns they are magical and graceful, leaping through enchanted forests …and looking ever so slightly feminine.

This little gem is a great fast-moving, platform-type game where you must get your robot unicorn as far as you can by leaping over gaps and obstacles while dashing through stars to gain speed. Accompanied by some very cheesy music and with some dark humor thrown in, this could only be a creation from the guys at Adult Swim, experts in adult comedy animations such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost and Metalapocalypse.

After giving this a try, i found myself addicted to the gradually fast moving game and strangely motivated by the odd choice of music. Give it a try here:

Or, for those of you who would prefer it with a bit of heavy metal:

Interesting Links – Stabyourself.net (Retro mix-up Flash games)

Ok, found this one curtsy of the great Patrick Clarke (DkIT CMM 4th yr 2010-11). Great new site for a 2-piece indie games developer with an eye-catching name, however the name bares no resemblance to the games they make …so click away! The games they currently make are mostly retro games such as ‘Super Mario Bros.’ and ‘Tetris’, given a rehash and shake-up with new game elements or mechanics, creating totally new and exciting games with that old-school retro feel.

Did i mention theyre free to download?

For example, an as-yet unreleased game in the works is ‘MariO’: Basically take ‘Super Mario Bros.’ and introduce the portal gun from the hugely popular ‘Portal’ game and you get something supremely interesting…

P.S.: Theres also a nice, intentionally-simplistic music sequencer for free here called ‘Rimshot’. Its quick and handy, plus free!
