The Zone

Edmund Mcmillen creator of Gish, the ground-breaking indie game involving everyone's lovable blob of tar has come up with an interesting Flash game called Aether to tie us over while waiting for the next incarnation of Gish. The game itself is fairly small by most gaming standards (about 29MB) but does incorporate a very simple but very interesting mode of transport just like Gish. However instead of flowing like tar you travel through space using a single super tentacle like tongue that hooks onto clouds and other floating objects. With plenty of simple puzzles and interesting game mechanics it should be a good timewaster for that saturday off.
