Terrance the Flying Eyeball
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Play as a disembodied eyeball, called Terrance, who is forced by fate to complete a set of dangerous challenges involving bouncing off surfaces, breaking glass tubes, and dodging plasma projectiles, in order to feel content and satisfied with life. Complete all zones in 'Terrific Time' to unlock a special feature. I doubt that you'll see this coming.
The game is essentially an exercise in conveying mechanics through level design and use of colour, without any explicit instructions or inadvertent insulting of the player's intelligence. It was created over three months, and originally released in 2014.
