Coil
Monday, February 18th, 2008
Veteran Flash designer Florian Himsl and artist Edmund McMillen recently released Coil, one of the more fascinating and disturbing Flash games I’ve played. Like a twisted version of Nova’s Life’s Greatest Miracle, it begins with the player piloting a sperm into an ovum and just gets weirder from there. It’s beautifully done, and employs some brilliant programming. But it might give you nightmares.
