You can play the first three Deep Chalk games here:
Recent blog posts detail my thoughts and progress on the fourth, along with some recommendations of indie (and not so indie) games I’ve been playing recently. Cheers for the feedback, I expect the tips about Flash’s default settings cutting down the sound will prove very useful.
