Based on the Experimental Gameplay Project winner "Star Fall", streak across a surreal landscape collecting dreams and avoiding terrible nightmares. As you hurtle through the sky faster and faster, slow down time to help navigate the crowded dreamscape. Keep your falling star burning as long as you can by gathering the blue-tinted Lucid Dreams to strike back and cleanse nightmares.

Randomness...


Words have power. I have often wondered if an idea or wordform could be made that would infect the mind and wreak havoc and other general fuckery.

I particularly like the word Fuckery. Fuckery most foul. What a delightful saying.

Project. Theres another interesting word. Catching part of a random SG blog post off the front page it occurred to me that simply by adding or using the word "project" you bestow a certain feeling of legitimacy. "I have a project im working on" is certainly much better... phrasing lets say, than "im making a skin coat out of babies". Heh.

Ok, so im in a weird rambly siniser mindset at the moment. I blame the disease. Curse you sickness. I sleep now.


|| edit ||

Im not making a skin coat out of babies. Its pants out of living ferrets by training them to cling to my legs in a poised and attack-ready stance. Theres nothing like hucking ferrets from your living ferret pants.
