In the midst of the holiday avalanche of games, one game seems to have been overlooked. A game not hyped or advertised. A game made in a mere 7 days. Yes! 7 Days. The game is called Crayon Physics.
The game was made by Petri Purho, and was released on June 1st, 2007. The object of the game is to draw shapes to help a red ball reach a star. To truly grasp the feel of the game, one must see and/or play.
Here is a build of "Crayon Physics Deluxe". It's a add-on to the original game, which allows the user to draw a wider variety of shapes.

This simple, freeware game has captured something that most games fail to do. Create seemingly real physics. Yes, its only simple shapes, but why hasn't this logic been applied to "next gen" games? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've yet to actually play a game that has physics that aren't in someway bugged, or stiff.
Crayon physics is a captivating game, which kept me entertained for hours. Isn't that the point of video games, to entertain? Well, this game has just as well as most of the other major AAA titles so far this year. And guess what, its free!
The reason for me writing this is to help spread the word about this amazing game, and to make people realize simple, free games can be fun. Hope you enjoy this as much as I have.
