Freeware Game Pick: Fetus (Ted Lauterbach)
Fetus is a puzzle platformer in which you play as a blue character lost in a strange world, seeking to exact revenge on the party responsible for trapping him there in the first place. There is no screen scrolling and your character cannot jump, but Ted still manages to construct one or two surprises to catch the player off-guard.
The game is rather short in length and can be completed in under half an hour or less, assuming that none of the puzzles are giving you any trouble. Made for GameJolt's Minimal Competition. (GMC forum thread)

Starts a bit slow but then it gets really interesting . Very clever level design . Craziest ending ever too . Great job !

Pretty good game. Levels are surprising even if linear.

An excellent little short -- the levels were fairly easy, but still tickled the brain here and there. What I found most commendable was the atmosphere -- the weird static theme, the unusual characters/scenes that were offered without any real explanation. It seemed very threatening, despite the nature of play.

Interesting concept. Gameplay is a tad slow though. Techincal errors a ways into the game.
