really enjoyed the flash talk today, and have wanted to make a flash game since i started this course, mainly cuz i'm addicted to neopets but that's not the point. I'm hoping i can include gaming for this project and plus i get to draw more pretty pictures, one day there may be a project where i draw nothing. Really need to research into online/casual gaming and try and get some theory behind my designs. Most importantly i need to get the damn futures project out of my damn head. damn.

Have a look at Snack Dash. (it's one of kerbs) It's really fun for ten spare minutes, and I think it's a great examples of a game that gets it's message across.

Take a peek at the Grow series of games:

It's what my radiohead video was based on. Really original and fun little game - no advertising in this one, just fun.

Oh, and google for Samorost. Again, really excellent flash game, very simply done once you've looked past the flashy graphics. I think it'll really appeal to you.
