Dimension Diver:
In this colourful shooter, you play as... something... which shoots... er... other things. Sometimes cute abstract graphics just make things difficult.
Much like Omega's Unyaa Proximo your main goal and source of points - aside from blasting
away the enemy with relentless glee - is to absorb the little colourful flakes they drop. You act as a vacuum and suck them in with ease.
It seems the enemies and bullets have some sort of effect based on colour, but the speed of the game is just too fast to tell exactly what does what. That doesn't matter as each level lasts less than 10 seconds - you obliterate everything in sight comfortably (with some tight dodging) - well before you can figure out any specifics.
It could have been so much more, but ultimately falls short. There's no music and the sounds are repetitive, but there is enough in the gameplay to keep you interested for at least a short while (maybe even a medium length while).

EverEternal WinterWorld
EverEternal WinterWorld (sometimes incorrectly written as Ever Eternal Winter World) is an adventure/platform game set to a snowy backdrop with a healthy dose of humour thrown in to the mix.
The story is as follows: Bad guy wants eternal winter. Good guy wants to sleep. Good guy has to stop him anyway, because he was kicked by Old Gramps until he agreed. Along the way, various characters will brighten up your typically cloudy route, like the ever cheerful Companion Pot. Which is, literally, a pot that sits on the ground.
The game is stocked with weapons to collect and upgrade which will help you in various situations. For example when a running jump doesn't help, you can rocket blast (by jumping, then shooting down) to give you an extra boost.
The game is cute enough, with its familiar looking pixelated graphics and the humour goes a long way to enduring this game. If you're into this sort of thing, EEWW will be a bonified hit with you.
