Despite the recent quick end to the usual summer lull, there's been a surge of recent interesting indie-developed game developments across the spectrum of the 'net.
Former Website of the Month JayIsGames has recently played host to a simple Flash puzzle game competition sponsored in part by Adobe, and 17 of the resulting entries have made their way online in two batches here and here. Showing a striking amount of diversity -- from Ico-inspired cerebral gear-locking puzzlers, to any number of room-based point and click outings, and even chord-picking sound games, there's hardly a dud in the bunch.
Independent Gaming and GameSetWatch have also pointed toward the PC preview for the upcoming superflat vector minigame PSP homebrew title Visiting Day, by one-man-team Mike Bithell. Lost somewhere in the realm of the limited palette and storybook style of Rub Rabbits, the extended play microgaming of Beito Hell 2000 (aka WTF), and the crushing punishment of every game to incorporate QTEs, it's one we're highly looking forward to taking on the road soon.
Finally, on a completely different front, AtariAge member Dragnerok X has uploaded his adorable parody homebrew creation, Atari 2600 GUI. For a one-off joke it's a gem, giving Windows-flavoured functionality to decidedly command-line era technology -- have a look at qotile's YouTube video if you find yourself Stella-less.
