Gearhead Garage Adventure trailer.

I stumbled on this GBA demo while looking over Ratloop’s catalog of titles for my Q&A on Mightier. It was created back in 2006 as a sequel to the independent studio’s PC title Gearhead Garage, but the “essentially complete” game was never published due to cartridge pricing issues. There’s a 30-minute demo ROM that you can download from Ratloop’s site, though!

It looks a lot more fun than Touch Mechanic!

Trailer for Mightier, a puzzle/action PC game best experienced with a printer and a webcam.

I really love Mightier’s concept, and could see this working on the DSi with its external camera (the printed sheets would be challenge, though). It also seems like there are a lot of great multiplayer opportunities for a title like this.

Here’s a recent Q&A I conducted with one of the game’s developers — I prodded him a bit on 5th Cell’s Drawn to Life, which has a similar draw-your-own-hero feature, so it’s not completely DS-unrelated!
