Free Game Friday: Chalk

You know what? I don't even know why I'm bothering to do a free game Friday this week, the Steam summer sale just started and most people are going to be balls deep in cheap as shit video games, but even so, free stuff is never bad!

So today I'm going to do a short little post about a free game I discovered quite a while ago called Chalk, for PC.  The game is kind of like a side scrolling shooter, but you don't really shoot anything.  You move your little flying thing with the WASD keys and then use the mouse to draw lines of chalk to connect points on enemies and obstacles in order to kill them.  Also the artwork is pretty too, nothing spectacular but the style reminds me of stuff like Dynamite Heady for some reason (completely unrelated really but that's the vibe I get)

It's an extremely simple concept, works extremely well, the game is a ton of fun and best of all, its fuckin' free!  There isn't really much else to speak of for chalk, it's an extremely simple and addictive game that can easily kill a good few hours.  I'm actually surprised this didn't get swallowed up by Nintendo and put on the DS as it's the kind of game that would lend itself very well to a touch screen.

So yeah, give it a go, the link to download the game is http://www.konjak.org/index.php?folder=4&file=9 so have at it and have some fun!
