At this year's Montreal International Game Summit, the game development collective Kokoromi held their <a href="http://www.kokoromi.org/projects/gamma256">second annual Gamma event</a>, challenging designers and coders to create games under strict guidelines. For this year's event, games had to be a maximum of 256 x 256 pixels, and be fully playable in around five minutes. <br /><br />With these constraints, Jason Rohrer designed <a href="http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/passage/"><em>Passage</em></a>, a tiny game that has been making tiny waves in our tiny community.<br /><br />There's not much to say about <em>Passage</em>. The game is available for Mac, PC, and Linux, and lasts exactly five minutes. In short, there's no excuse not to play it.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.raphkoster.com/2007/12/07/passage-the-latest-art-game-hit/">Raph Koster</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/11/passage-is-a-lifetime-in-five-minutes/">Passage is a lifetime in five minutes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:30:00 EST.
