Introducing @c4education's latest, SuperMe! (Obv disclaimer: I work at C4 Edu...)
Games, videos, quizzes, animation, quotes and a buncha other bits and pieces ... all within an outer layer of gamelike mechanics: you get levelled up, and achievements, for digging around in all the stuff.
It's about resilience: how to feel good when life chucks you lemons. How to be better at thinking positively. How to cope with (and learn to love) failure. I'm really pleased with this, because I think it's ultra key for our target audience of 14+ teens.
Somethin Else and Preloaded created and built this, with added input from Coney and Margaret Robertson. The best bit is, poking around in here and playing these games, watching these vids: it's all officially good for you ;-)
Here, try Linkem.
Or Swerveball : like golf, in space, with added reflection tests:
There's a ton more too. Proximity: it's multiplayer, too. Flomo, it's tough, and zen. Many videos filled full of actually useful stuff.
With thanks and love to everyone who helped create SuperMe. I'm incredibly pleased by it.
That looks like the best game I have ever seen :-p

Cool! I'll try and write one of the games up tomorrow, for our daily 'Time Waster'.

Oki! Should be up on Download Squad later.
Swerveball was the only game I could really get the hang of. The side-scrolling musical one was fun -- can imagine it's great with four people!
The jumpy one I didn't like so much... I couldn't see enough of what's ahead/below/above, made judging my jumping rather tricky :)

Thanks Sebastian!
I'm told Flomo (the jumpy one) is particularly popular with female players..!

I tried Proximity, but couldn't find any other players :-(

Yeah it'll take a while for folks to find it. Putting it on Kongregate: that'll help.
