Passage: A Game in 5 Minutes

I could have sworn I heard about this on the GWJ forums or podcast, but I can't find mention of it in either.
Passage by Jason Rohrer
A submission for Koorumi's gamma 256 contest for games with the most irregular aspect ratio, and could not exceed 256x256.

Torq - I can certainly see myself whipping it out for a quick solo on commutes though.
I played it immediately after reading about it over at RPS. Yeah great game, depressing and enlightening at the same time.

Yeah, but if you set off the bomb in Megaton you are rewarded with a parking lot!
