Over at Jay is Games, they've been posting the entries to their 2nd Flash Game Design Competition, and there are all kinds of interesting titles entered for this latest iteration.

One particular favorite is Sprout, which "...was designed and created by Jeff Nusz of New Zealand. The puzzle / adventure game features beautiful charcoal drawings as the basis for its graphics and style, appearing as if taken directly from a storybook."

Also notable: Gateway II, which is "...he highly anticipated sequel to the original game from our first competition. And it picks right up where the first one left off. Anders tells me he has incorporated the "grow" theme heavily into the story element of the game." Nice, oddball adventure action, too.
