Games that can be completed in less than 30 mintues. Need not be one room (though that obviously helps). Hopefully, the games are fun as well.

"One turn game" [+]"One turn game: It's a one turn game, as short as can be, and this novel approach is pulled off flawlessly.

Metroid, by Billy Rawls 1 vote "Just a bunch of shooting" [+]"Just a bunch of shooting: A short game where you must win about 100 randomized combats by typing "shoot metroid" over and over again. You will likely be required to "undo-scum" due to the randomized combats, but due to the enemies being able to miss their attacks, you can get through the entire game without needing to balance mandatory damage and healing by undo-scumming." --P-Tux7... ![]() | |
