The Experimental Gameplay Project Has 40 New Buttonless Games - News

Every month the Experimental Gameplay Project has a new challenge for indie game developers: to make a game in under seven days that fits the month's theme. August's them was "0 BUTTONS." The results are in, and 40 new buttonless games are now freely available at the site. Some of the games are playable in your browser, while others are free to download (all really quick downloads of course). Of those, many are PC only, but some are PC/Mac/Linux or even PC/Mac/browser-based.
Without buttons many of the games are all about quickly maneuvering or dodging with the mouse, while others use the mouse to collect or kill everything on the screen. They've got a little of everything this month, with mouse-controlled zombie apocalypse survival games to platformers, shmups, and even a game where you try to point a camera at a UFO for as long as you can while driving your car. Some games opt out of mouse controls entirely, including one where you yell into your microphone to jump over bear traps.
Hop over to the EGP to check 'em out. Even if you don't find a new favorite game here, it's always interesting to see what people can do with awkward restrictions like an inability to use buttons, as well as a seven day time limit. Their new challenge for this month is "NEVERENDING" games, and they'll have a new batch of those available at the end of the month.

It's funny somehow. The cool things always come up when you have restrictions, not possibilities. In that sense LBP can't be that good, because it's offering so many functionality. =)
