lilithkismet rated Anomalies

A downloadable game for Windows.

A neat experiment in generative art, this game lets you set parameters for the random generation of "Anomalies," which can look like anything from masses of waving tentacles to colorful rotating orbs of light, accompanied by randomly generated (sometimes discordant) musical tones. It's also moddable, with the textures and backgrounds used easily accessible/editable as .bmp images in the game folder. You can easily save anomalies you like to view them again later. Drawbacks: there is no readme or in-game explanation of the effect generation menu, so the wide array of sliders is hard to make sense of and I ended up just using the "randomize" button. The sound effect played with generating an anomaly is weirdly loud compared to the rest of the game and has no way to mute it. This can be annoying when quickly generating a string of anomalies looking for an appealing one. Also, loading doesn't give you a list of saved options, you have to remember what you titled your anomaly and type it in yourself.
