Freeware Game Pick: Ceramic Shooter (Theta Games)
Ceramic Shooter is an abstract action game where players will have to actively avoid destroying objects on screen while attempting to pilot a malfunctioning ship. The clock is ticking and mistakes are costly, plus you'll need all the seconds you can muster for the boss encounters waiting for you near the end of each level.
Use the cursor keys to dodge objects, and press the space key to pause the game at any time. The game has seven stages in total, not including the practice and survival modes. (GMC thread)

Game is great. I love the different objects in it, the music and overall idea/execution.
Great overall. Pretty tough though, sometimes frustrating.

The video made it looked way easier that it actually is...
The music is simply dreamy.

FYI, Vimeo has decided to ban all game-related videos as of yesterday, so you might want to find a different video host. See http://www.vimeo.com/blog:140 :(

Yeah, looks like the vid's gone. Well, it's not loading anyway.
Hopefully vimeo'll start to bomb pretty soon, and maybe then they'll stop being so elitist.
I managed to catch the vid before they removed it anyway, looks pretty good. I'll have a gander later.

Anyone know of a good alternative that supports HD quality videos? It's a shame that Vimeo is giving games the boot.

David: Someone at SA mentioned wuapi.com. No experience with them, but they support HD, and even have a category for games. Didn't see an embed option though. Someone also mentioned gamevee.com, but I couldn't get that to work.
Otherwise there's always Viddler, which isn't as good quality as Vimeo but better than the rest I know of.

Seeing as Vimeo is all about the encouraging creativity an whatnot, maybe they'd feel differently if they recognised that these were games made by one person/a small team?
