ChangeBlindness is a small game that demonstrates the change blindness phenomenon. The effect shows that our brains have a low-level (i.e. subconscious) change detection capability that can be disabled pretty easily (for instance, with a flicker of around 100ms). The game illustrates this using an increasing number of icons, one of which will change during a flicker. The goal of the game is to find the changing icon as quickly as possible.

Astro Battle is an online multiplayer space simulation game where players can design and pilot their space ships against each other. The spaceships are made up of modules. Modules are components that contribute some ability or property to the spaceship as a whole. Some examples of modules are bridges, thrusters, cannons, torpedo bays, reactors, and batteries. A Player can join an arena by challenging another player to a space duel or by joining a dedicated server (which can host several players at a time). Astro Battle also has a practice arena for testing ship designs offline.
