Meditations is a perfect New Year’s resolution for gamers in 2019

Rami Ismail, co-founder of Nuclear Throne developer Vlambeer, has unveiled a new project: Meditations. It’s a collection of 365 micro games that can each only be played for one day of the year. Ismail was inspired to create the project after playing a game called TEMPRES. “It is a simple minimalist puzzle game, and it might have taken no more than five minutes of my time to figure out,” Ismail writes on Meditation’s website. “I left the game both impressed by developer tak’s clever design, but also by the feeling of having played this short game early in the morning.” Since then, working with 350 developers, he has assembled a collection of other micro games. “Every developer was asked to pick a day that means something to them, or just a random day, and to make something inspired by that day,” Ismail explains. “The idea was to create a meditation of sorts, a reflection, or to capture a particular moment.”
