Description:
Blueberry Garden is a short experimental game about curiosity and exploration. You take on the role of a creature investigating a mysterious world to find out what is going on there. It’s probably not very much like anything you've played before but I hope you will find it enjoyable!

Opinion:
A interesting concept that is not really explained. You pretty much just jump into a world and learn both by failure and chance. It is an interesting experience, but in my case was not particularly enjoyable.

Graphical Styles: 2D, Pixel Art
Platforms: Windows
Pricing Model: Free
Developer(s): Daniel Remar, Erik Sjöstrand
Publisher(s): No More Sweden
Initial Release Date: July 12, 2010
Website(s): Games Page, Download
Description:
Created for no More Sweden 2010; In which is won numinous awards, including Best Game. Man Enough is about multitasking and has you play four simplistic games games at once, with the same controls. These games are: a Mario-esk platformer, a original arcade Donkey Kong-esk platformer, a visual novel, and a vertical space shooter. It is simply a game of trying to maximize your score.

Opinion:
Playing four simplistically horrible games at the same time does not make a single good experience. It's hectic, frustrating, and pretty much impossible to do better then mediocre at; But those can be positive features.
