Gravitation, a Game about the Creative Process
Play with a nice child
Face the dark winter
Have your head spontaneously catch fire
Gravitation is a new, free, low-res game for Windows, Mac, and Linux by Jason Rohrer, creator of Passage. After you play, you’ll probably want to read Jason’s note on the game.

I wrote about Gravitation on my blog, and I had emailed Jason Rohrer to let him him know about it. He said it was the most insightful review of his game, identifying almost everything he intended to convey. I somehow missed what’s at the top of the level. B-)
Anyway, you can see my article at http://gbgames.com/blog/2008/03/gravitation-as-an-artistic-game and I tried to write it as more of a critique than a review. Rereading it, I suppose I could have emphasized the critique part a bit better, but I’ll leave my readers to judge it.
