Endless possibility is not a notion easily conveyed in video games. Sandbox titles like Grand Theft Auto seem limitless at first, but that illusion disappears once you discover their boundaries. Perhaps that's why the free-drawing puzzles of Crayon Physics Deluxe are so alluring.
A YouTube demo of the game boasts roughly 2 million views to date, but even without the Tablet PC and stylus seen in that presentation, Crayon Physics Deluxe feels like an exercise in freedom.
GameBlurb: "I thought it would be a good idea to set aside my backlog and play these games in the context of a sincere plug for the awesome folks who put this thing together for the third time now."
I've got a fever, and the only prescription, is more bundle!
"Having only been available for less than 24 hours, the Humble Indie Bundle #3 has sold 130,000 copies raising more than $600,000 in the process. In return each customer now has access to the following five brilliant indie titles: Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, And Yet It Moves and Hammerfight with a combined value close to $50. How much do you get them for?"- The Stoned Sheep
