Browser Game Pick: Poto & Cabenga (Honeyslug)
You may remember Poto & Cabenga as being one of this year's Gamma IV winners - we mentioned it briefly last month. Honeyslug have now released the game online for free.
It's a one-button game in which you control 2 separate characters. It works as follows: pressing down the space bar makes the top character jump, and releasing it makes the bottom character jump. While the space bar is held down, the bottom character will run forward while the top character falls back, and releasing the space bar will yield the opposite results.
Sounds incredibly tricky, yet it's really not that difficult at all. Collecting golden branches will add to your score, and getting hit by an enemy takes points away. Go help reunite rider and steed at PotoandCabenga.com.

really cool game, I love how you can get to synch with the game and play "on the edge". Reminds me the hectic play sessions I had on difficult NES games. If you think too much you're dead :)

not that difficult for _you_, maybe. I'm pulling my hair out.

It's a pleasant game. I found it fun getting a hang of the controls. The one button scheme and lack of serious punishment makes it very approachable.
