Try a stylish, Saul Bass-inspired two-player duel
by Leigh Alexander from on (#NDTH)
Designer Adam Curtis has made a two-player flash game called NotDOBA, inspired by the aesthetics struck by 60s graphic designer Saul Bass.
Visually it looks as neat as you'd expect. Curtis says he hopes the turn-based two-player game will appeal to fans of fast-paced local multiplayer works like Samurai Gunn or Nidhogg. I hope Curtis changes the name-I don't know what NotDOBA is nor is it catchy!-but the developer says he's committed to the ongoing update works necessary for a game like this to find a persistent community.
I like it on style alone; I also really like Steve Margetson's lively, tonally-apt music. You can get NotDOBA for Windows or OSX for $3.49.
