Cow Clicker

Posted without comment.

“You get a cow. You can click on it. In six hours, you can click it again. Clicking earns you clicks. You can buy custom “premium” cows through micropayments (the Cow Clicker currency is called “mooney”), and you can buy your way out of the time delay by spending it. You can publish feed stories about clicking your cow, and you can click friends’ cow clicks in their feed stories. Cow Clicker is Facebook games distilled to their essence.”

Currently sapping productivity at the Slide offices. Rainbow farts included.

Glitch

Glitch, the forthcoming multiplayer game from some ex-Flickr-folks. Looks gorgeous, although my MacBook’s fan is already whirring at the prospect of all that Flash gameplay.

ARGH — Augmented Reality Ghost Hunter

Nifty augmented-reality iPhone game. The 3GS’s compass app might have seemed pointless, but opening up these kinds of possibilities makes it worthwhile!

Machinarium

Gorgeous and fun point-n-click adventure. I played one screen and then paid for the full version.

Rock Band Coming to iPhone/iPod Touch

Will be interesting to see how this compares to the just-released Tap Tap Revenge 3. TTR3 costs $0.99 and has a fairly weak collection of free songs, and a small but decent music store. Rock Band will come with 20 tracks from bands you’ve heard of, but will likely be in the $10 range.

W I N D O S i L L

So much imagination in one little game. Only $3, and well worth it if you like flashgames like Grow Cube or Feed the Head.
