Now it is up to you to help the mayor make the new Minneapolis landmark work properly. Can you toast these slices golden brown without burning them? Are you up to the waffle-making task? Can you rescue the bagels? And are you man enough to face the pop tarts?

There is only one way to find out. Get the Town Hall Toaster ready and feed the hungry taxpayers.

There are different chambers to be explored. The double mouthed ventriloquist spits out completely indegestible techno-jabber. The fracture room wants to make you think about the futility to resist computer time, which is much more accurate, constant and productive than human time, with its petty diurnal and circadian rhythms. The pantheon of misinformation deals with the concept of technology and progress becoming obsolete so quickly that nothing but a wire frame of memory lasts, while technology glides into ridiculousness soon after it has been invented.

Stunt Dummies is the kind of game gamers despise and artists celebrate. It is, however, able to bridge the gap between these two pretty well. You can enjoy it as a work of art, but you must also at least acknowledge that it works as a game and follows most of the rules a game should. And it succeeds at creating a strange universe that is actually fun to explore.

through symbiotic unities of scrap and nature.

This was the first work of Jakub Dvorsky, whose Amanita Design is currently enjoying Indie fame with Machinarium – he expanded his nostalgic scrap-planet-universe and made a full-length puzzle game of it.

Well, Jazzuo is a guy who is obviously taking seafood cooking classes in Japan and dressing up as a yellow ninja. Now, imagine Sexy Hiking to be the creative outcry of a sensitive soul, caught between seafood and ninja masquerade. You are exposed to a world of wrongness and pain, and despite the salacious name of the game you are chastely equipped with nothing but a 3D hammer, 3D boots and your ability to glitch gravity. The author does little to help or guide you on your quest:

use the humer as if u were really climbing something and ull see

to hang on rope u have to have the left mouse button pressed!

Now all there is left for you is to hike, hike with your hammer, hike over trees, stone walls, waterfalls, and all the while be careful not to violate the boundaries of this hiking universe: The floor is not always what it seems, and the set of rules to be used against you can be stretched ultimately.

To hike all over to my introduction – again: Lots of people have already praised the surrealist potential of this game, while others still fail to see it. In my opinion, if I were to name a single game that is honestly kafkaesque in its game mechanics, graphical presentation and general feel, oppressive in its set of rules, yet still giving the player a deceptive feeling of control, it would have to be Sexy Hiking.
