A beautiful short game where you play as a plant, September 13, 2021This is a lovely little game by Caleb Wilson, one of many games of his involving magical plants.
In this one, you are at the bottom of a well with a piece of nearby sunlight. You want to grow but you just aren't strong enough.

Microparsers by Tabitha
The discussion in this thread, from which I've borrowed the term "microparser" (thanks Pinkunz!), led me to want to collect small parser games. I'm thinking of ones that fit what's described in the thread--generally taking less than 30...
