Today's Webtip: Mercury

an experiment in player based game building

It's been a while since I have posted any game links, and even longer since I have mentioned a roguelike, but I am pretty certain this is the first time I have found an arcade style roguelike that is being created as it gets played.

While other games provide things like level editors, Mercury is being built bit by bit one winner at a time. Yes, if you manage to pull off a high score, you can add a monster, character class or object of your design to the game. The first iteration of the game was one level and one monster. I have no idea how many there are now, but I do know that there are some evil game players out there.

I also know that I'm wasting way too much time on this game.
