Casual Gameplay Design Competition #6

Drop your sord(sp?)!~
Earlier today, indiegames.com pointed out a short art game called Small Worlds (great game; check it out) that was made for the Casual Gameplay Design Competition #6. While I was playing that game, I noticed that the other entries were very conveniently placed at the bottom of the screen, and one in particular caught my eye.
If you like retro platformer/adventure games coupled with subtle comedy, you should definitely check out this game entitled The Fantasy of the SORD. The pixelated graphics are charming and humorous, the character selection is diverse (though as far as I can tell so far, all the characters act the same, but look different, so it's really just up to you what kind of creature/thing/person you feel like being), the class names are funny (i.e. White Hero, Magic Wizard, Ancient Tree Boy, etc.), the grammar is bad on purpose, there are lots of weapons and skills to find and unlock, and the in-game world is vast and holds many dangers. Convinced yet? Well you should be!
Kudos to Klint Honeychurch for making the game, and Bert Chang for making the music. This is a real gem in my opinion.
Here's the link once again just in case you somehow missed the first one.~~~
