Too good to wait 
It's Friday, and as usual, my bag of tricks is bursting at the seems. Turns out I found out who was behind that trippy adventure game I posted about. Some guy named Jakub Dvorský from the Czech Republic has a small design studio called Amanita Design. He has a bunch of cool animations, graphics, and yes, more rad adventure games. One he just finished in late May was for the Polyphonic Spree. It's called Quest for the Rest and you take three members of the Spree in search of the rest of the band. It's extremely entertaining. If you liked Samorost you'll definitely like this. Also, he designed a game for nikelab.com called Rocketman, where you build a pair of shoes for Vince Carter and blast off into space. I can't seem to find it anywhere on Nike's site, but it's another fantastic adventure game, it appears to end prematurely, so maybe Nike decided against it and Jakub never finished it. Who knows? But check them all out and have a great time. You can thank me later.
