[games_access] Project Icecube: One Button Game A Potential Winner in Game Design Competition!

[AudioGames.net]

Hi,

A short message concerning a cool one-button platform game by Michiel Krol:

You may remember Michiel Krol's name from his work on the Audio Game Maker 
and project Game Accessibility at the Bartimeus Accessibility foundation. 
You may also remember his name from the game Submarine 
(http://www.spele.nl/game/submarine.html - currently unavailable at time of 
this post), which was nominated for the NLGD Game Design Rally 2006 and 
which featured an alternative, one-button control scheme. Michiel is 
currently finishing his Masters degree in Game Design.

I'm happy to announce that for this years NLGD Game Rally, Michiel is once 
more nominated for a new game: Project Icecube! This free online Flash-game 
is specifically designed for children in the age of 8 to 12 who have to live 
with a chronical disease or a handicap. What makes Project Icecube special 
is that this is a one-button platform game. The game control automation is 
slightly inspired by that of a prototype for a one-button platform game that 
I once made. Check out Project Icecube here:

Currently the game only works with the spacebar (it was designed like this 
for the competition) but it is a very small effort to reprogram it so it 
works with every key or button or switch device. The game is only in Dutch 
for now. In the game, you are an icecube and you have to explore 4 worlds, 
finding fellow icecubes and water the seeds found in the world to progress.

What do you think?

Next week's the winner is selected, on thursday the 18th. Although the 
winner is selected via a child jury, you can let Michiel know what you think 
of the game by rating the game on the website.

Greets,

Richard
