Browser Game Pick: Grey Matter
Grey Matter is a collaborative project developed by the creators of Goo! and Gish, where players take control of a black dot which can only destroy enemies by running into them. Use the cursor keys to move, hold the shift key to reduce your movement speed, and press the space key to activate your boosts temporarily.
Points can be traded for upgrades in the pause menu, accessible at any time by pressing the P or escape key. A stand alone version is available for download as well, which should run quicker on older machines. (source: Paul Eres)

This is a fun game. I stink at it, but it's still fun. Great stuff.

Oh neat... another over-hyped Ed McMillen game.

That is grotesquely unfair, "Wut". Anyway, I'm not seeing any hype for this anywhere, you must be imagining things.

Wut, did you even try playing this game? I didn't care for the last few he's done but this one is pretty engaging.

If you die on the last enemy of a wave you still get to the upgrade screen, but are unable to press the continue button.
Cool game. I enjoyed playing :)
