Indie Intermission – ‘EraserLand’ Sometimes Less Is More

To end the week I thought I would pull yet another game from the Ludum Dare competition.

competition. I know I have covered this competition a lot lately but with all the awesome games that have been generated for it I feel this is completely justified.

Today’s game is EraserLand by Little_Polygon and it’s a rather interesting little experiment. The whole idea of EraserLand is to remove certain aspects of the screen to meet certain win conditions, which you find in a very trial and error manner as you wildly erase all manner of things before finding the true way to win the level.

Although a very short game and a game that often feels like it lacks direction the idea is very nice, and something rather different. The style and gameplay really make for a very fascinating game from start to finish.

Average play time – 5 minutes

EraserLand is a very well thought out game that brings about some rather novel puzzles and some even more creative solutions to the game. In many ways it’s great to see a minimalistic game encourage even more minimalism by making it the main mechanic for the game.

EraserLand can be played online for free. If you would like to find out more or even download an offline version be sure to head to the Ludum Dare site.
