With only a weekend to make a game, for me JavaScript and HTML5 posed the easiest route. So now you get Pinball Color (I'd write "Colour" but I'm trying not to throw off you Americans)!
OBJECTIVE: Like Pinball, except with more pinballs and more colors. Free the frozen pinballs by evolving their surrounding blobs. When a pinball collides with a blob, the blob will take on some of the color of the pinball; the closer its color to the frozen pinball it encircles, the smaller it gets. Free as many as you can before your health out! Freeing gives a health boost.
CONTROLS: A or Left Arrow and D or Right Arrow.
LIBRARIES: Uses jQuery, a little and a lot of Box2DWeb.
ISSUES: Doesn't work in IE.
I even made some audio, though it's essentially a bad idea to play too much audio simultaneously with HTML5 so I've had to keep it minimal.
I took to the idea of portraying evolution's process though gradual change with the mixing of colour, and though not a deep undertaking on the theme I am quite happy with the result. :)
