David’s made a Flash game called Swing. It features a ball on a string, which swings. Hence the name.
You have to swing the ball around and collect as many stars as you can. The trick is that you can only control the pivot point of the string, and you have to let physics do the rest.
It’s a beautiful game. Unsurprisingly, I suck at it (my high score is 19, w00t), but watching David play it is inspiring stuff.
Welcome to Two Brain Cells, by the way.

I swear, one day I’ll design a game that you’ll be good at.

Hey, I was lucky enough to find a screenshot of this game, so I finally found a way to trace this game back to its roots. Unluckily though, it seems it was taken down. Is there any way this game could be rereleased?

Hi! I’ve actually half finished a new version of the game here:
