Spent the past three days cooking up this fun little robot-themed chain reaction game. I’ve wanted to do a chain reaction game for quite some time and I really wanted to do a side perspective version that explored some fun and quick game play mechanics. I spent a week or two mulling ideas over in my head before beginning development. I’m rather happy how this turned out all things considered.
Play it here.

I’ve had the good fortune to be involved with playtesting and contributing to a new game this past month. While it is played on a computer it is not actually a computer game. My good friend and fellow game designer Jeremy P. Bushnell has created a new game called Wikipedian Tag.
“It involves using the vast, super-complicated structure of Wikipedia as a play space, an environment through which one player chases another. I like to think of it as a kind of competitive parkour through the architecture of all human knowledge, but calling it “tag” is a little simpler. It’s easy to learn and loads of fun.” – Jeremy
