Suicide Guy, a game about killing yourself. Despite the name, it's not actually about suicide, depression or anything like that.

I mentioned spaceBOUND recently, but it didn't really work. Thankfully, now it will if you use the usual Unity trick to overcome the broken fullscreen. It's a clever game too, well worth a look.

I must say that at the very beginning I thought the concept of the game was going to be extremely simple and boring, but by the tenth level it not only proved me wrong, but also I was completely hooked with it (no pun intended). There are free levels on Kongregate if you want to give them a try!
