Little Wheel

• Although "Little Wheel" is inked in black and white, with muted sepia-tones in the background, the animations themselves are fluid and painstakingly detailed. The game casts players as the last robot "alive." He starts out on an isolated tower, but his adventures take him through the ruined factory city of the machines. The game features basic point-and-click interactivity, and circles appear over those few objects that the player can manipulate. Between stages, the game treats players to fully animated cut-scenes. A single play-through will take most gamers less than half an hour.
  
  

Straw Hat Samurai 2

• "Straw Hat Samurai 2" isn't simply well animated; it gets the player drawing too. Players control a samurai who must face off against a legion of bowmen, spearmen, swordsmen and armored shoguns. In order to defeat them, the player draws slash-marks across their heads, hearts and other vital regions. In response, the samurai darts across the screen, cutting an arc where the player has drawn it. Depending on the angle of his slice, enemies respond by flying into the air, falling to ground or simply collapsing without a head.
  
  

Road of the Dead

• "Road of the Dead" begins with a zombie apocalypse. Players start in the home garage of a mechanic, who upon hearing of the zombie outbreak re-engineers his car and attempts to escape. Most of the action takes place behind the steering wheel, and although the game uses sprite graphics, it appears like 3D. The game features carefully animated environments and enemies, such as crackling car fires and shambling zombies. "Road of the Dead" also has full speech, and as the player drives through the ruins of his city, he intercepts military radio broadcasts, adding a storyline to the fluidly animated carnage.
  
  

Animator vs Animation

• "Animator vs Animation" takes place in a software environment similar to Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. Users of these programs will recognize familiar paint icons, such as the lasso, fill tool and eraser tool. The rest of the screen is white, except for an animated stick figure who actively attacks the cursor. To defend himself, the player must click on one of the paint icons and use it as a weapon. Players can draw bombs and anvils, which will damage the stick figure, or they can trap the stick figure in a box. After playing through the game as the animator, gamers can start a new game as the animation, doing their best to survive the onslaught of erasers and anvils.
