Freeware Game Pick: Featherweight (Ben Chandler)
In Featherweight you play as Thadd, a scout for a rebel group fighting against robots who are out to capture all humanoids. Discovering that a fellow spy has been caught by the machines, he embarks on a mission to rescue her even with the knowledge that chances of succeeding is slim.
The interface is easy to use and puzzles aren't too difficult to solve, although there is a bit of reliance on challenges that require figuring out combinations for locks and doors throughout the adventure. Expect to do a bit of pixel hunting as well, but the game is short and the amount of frustration from retrying has been kept to a minimum. (Windows, 15.1MB)

It looks like a nice enough concept, but the loads of text and the terrible music kept me from playing it much. And another thing, it could be a hover state over the items you can interact with, it¡s annoying to be pixel hunting!.

Nice!
The loads of text actually go pretty well with the terrible music in my opinion, quite a symbiotic connection.
Might be a somewhat biased opinion, though, since I composed the soundtrack and forced Ben to rewrite the dialog.
Well!
