Inspired by the popularity of his game Windosill among adults and kids alike, interactive artist Patrick Smith decided to reinvent the classic ABC book for his newest all-ages work. Starting with the familiar glyphs of the alphabet, he transformed each of the 26 letters into a series of playful, interactive vignettes.

The resulting game, Metamorphabet (Available for download at the App Store on February 12th, 2015), is a beautifully designed experience brimming with luminous imagery and delightful surprises. With its child-friendly interface and responsive, organic design, Metamorphabet is a wonderful educational tool for children, inviting them to playfully explore the alphabet and expand their vocabulary. But it is also an incredible achievement of interactivity sure to engage adults, who will be enthralled by the game’s visually stunning and thoughtfully crafted universe.

Digital distribution platform itch.io is hosting A Good Bundle, a new indie game bundle that includes 151 games. As a response to the recent US presidential nomination, itch.io is splitting 100% of the proceeds earned from sales of A Good Bundle 50-50 between the American Civil Liberties Union, and Planned Parenthood. In the bundle’s words: “A bunch of creators are sharing their works to combat some of the ugliness in our world.”

Three different purchase tiers are available. The cheapest starts at US$2, at which you’ll receive a number of smaller, experimental, game jam-style titles. The next tier, at US$8, includes games such as Metamorphabet, Earthtongue, and Death Ray Manta.


Finally, the highest tier at US$20 will net you all of the above, in addition to larger games such as Gone Home, Proteus, Sokobond, Orion Trail, and The Novelist.

The bundle is DRM-free, and includes future updates with each game. The offer expires in just over four days, so snap it up quick!
