Indie Games You Might Have Missed Part 36: 7th Swarming of the Machines [Tomas Pettersson]

This was based around a concept chosen for a Ludum Dare back in 2006, 'swarms'. In it, platforms randomly float in space. The aim of the game is to simply collect all the objects in the level, while avoiding getting squished by the floating platforms (you are equipped with a jetpack and a gun). It's a great bare-bones concept that could have been developed a whole lot more but as with so many other Ludum Dare entries, wasn't.

I'd love to see this game with some enemies and maybe some more mission like objectives. Looks plenty neat.
