I have been looking at games you can't win.. I would like to make a game in flash that you can't win, or is just plain nonsensical. I liked this idea because even though I am fairly confident in flash, I am utterly hopeless at coding and I think this will help me improve my technical skills. I would also like to focus on the aesthetics of the piece. Most things online made in flash are hideous. I would like mine not to be hideous, but we will see. Haha.
I like also the idea of putting this piece up on the web, without hinting the fact that it's a ridiculous game you can't win (maybe even lose). And just see the reactions, get feedback etc. I guess maybe I want to cause frustration or laughter with my piece. We'll see where it goes!
In the mean time, here are some useless games I've found:

^ Has an annoying ad. Pretty weird game, seems you can only get one score, then the game offers nothing and the time runs out.

^ You gather all the items etc.. And then nothing happens. There is still a sense of achievement though in gathering everything.

^ Odd things moving around, seems to change colour as you move the cursor. Aesthetically, it's quite interesting.

^ Boxes, not interactive but it made me laugh.
