Shut Up And Play This Game: “Small Worlds”

I’d like to introduce a new feature at Warp Skip called “Shut Up and Play This Game,” or “Shut Up” for short. I know how it is in this day and age— someone tells you in 2002 to check out this band called The Mountain Goats, you kind of shrug it off, whatever, you forget about the band, then in 2006 you pick up Get Lonely and you say OH GOD WHY DIDN’T I LISTEN TO THAT FRIEND FOUR YEARS AGO

We are that friend now. We are the arbiters of taste. Because you’re here, right? You trust us. You believe in us.

So here’s the deal. You read the blog post, then you play the game that we link you to. No questions asked, no bookmarking the game for later, no closing the tab, none of that. The link to the game will always be at the bottom of the post, so you can’t claim to not be able to find The games in “Shut Up” will always be free, will always be cross-platform, will generally be relatively short, and will always be awesome.

The first game in this series is “Small Worlds”, an entry in the sixth JayIsGames Casual Gameplay Design Competition. It’s here because the graphics and the music put together are mesmerizing. It’s a relaxing few minutes and anyone can play— and finish— it. You have no excuse not to go enjoy this game.
