Gish demo worth a weekend look

From the ever-growing annals of fun freeware comes Gish, an Independent Games Festival Finalist. The platformer is an impressive piece of work, with a combination of excellent style and smooth gameplay.
Even The New York Times loves it, and they hate everything. The great experience of this game starts with the official description: "With his gelatinous structure as his only means of defense Gish must follow the echoing cries of his damsel in distress deep into the earth bellow. What freakish creatures dwell in this subterranean land? Who is Brea's captor? And just how far down does the rabbit hole go? Life isn't easy when you're a 12 pound ball of tar..." Okay, we're sold. There are Linux, Mac and PC versions available. Heads-up: the link is a Flash site. Thanks to the resident Freeware Guru, 2Bear, for the tip.
