Inspired by Terry Cavanaugh's Hexagon franchise, the ending of Fez, and his own apartment ceiling, Markus Persson, aka Notch, yesterday released a new Web game, in lieu of a contribution to this year's Ludum Dare competition. The game, titled Drop, puts you in a whirling representation of Notch's ceiling, where you must type the spinning letters in order, before the ceiling rushes up to crush you. Your typed letters will appear at the bottom of the game screen. The letter to be entered next will be shimmering and in the foreground; typing a letter appropriately will clear it from the board; typing an incorrect key will cause the letter on the screen to flash red. I found that minimalist error messaging to be a little too subtle for me. Apparently, I need a large flashing "X" to stop me from typing in the next three to four letters incorrectly.

Typing the wrong letter does not merit score penalty, but it shall increase the speed of the moving letters. Using the spacebar or "Enter" key to submit your letters will provide bonus points, based on the length of the letter string you are submitting, with a maximum of 20 bonus points (I think). The blend of swirling visuals and thumping music are enough to confuse and confound even the speediest typists, which is, I suppose, the "fun" of the game. kiwiinternet. The letters on the screen do spell words when typed in correct order, and the game uses a fairly small dictionary, so continued practice should yield improved results, as players can learn all of the game's words and practice their own problematic sequences (mine would be "beauty" followed by "eternal").

After a few minutes with Drop, however, nothing is certain--between the techno music, spinning graphics, and adrenaline rush, I'm still trying to regain my bearings. houseofmediaget. I would say it's a fun and addictive little coffee-break game ... Carpal-tunnel-syndrome sufferers, be warned. My best score (so far) is 243, but I had to quit because my eyeballs would not stop shaking.
