Games Review: Scarygirl

PC, Touch My Pixel, Free

The illustrator Nathan Jurevicius’ work is fabulously freaky, featuring mad monsters, weird worlds and strange scenarios. His characters appear as art toys and now feature in this free Flash game. It’s an intricately designed platformer and a visually stunning treat that sees the titular Scarygirl wandering through an elaborate array of environments. In terms of gameplay, the approach is linear but when something looks this good – and costs nothing – it’s churlish to complain about a lack of whizzbang action. To play, go to www.scarygirl.com .
