THESE TWO GAMES WERE BOTH CREATED FOR A GAME DESIGN COURSE, AND HAD VERY SHORT (LESS THAN A MONTH) DEVELOPMENT CYCLES. I'M PROUD OF THEM, THOUGH, SINCE THEY'RE SOME OF MY FIRST PLAYABLE VIDEO GAMES. PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS SHOULD NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT NEITHER OF THESE TITLES ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF MY FULL POTENTIAL, AGAIN NOTING THE VERY SHORT DEVELOPMENT CYCLES.
Mediocre Squirrel Man
Obviously this game (and title!) was inspired by Super Meat Boy by Team Meat, and if you want to play a really awesome game, I'd suggest buying it here.
In Mediocre Squirrel Man, guide Nutty from one side of the map to the other side of the map using the arrow keys to move and the spacebar to jump. Don't take too long, because your score ticks down as time goes on. Collect acorns to give your score a bump, but watch out for the owls! Hit an owl, and you start at the beginning....and you won't be able to grab that acorn again!

Cuddly Crusader
This is the weirdest game I've ever made. Coincidentally, it was the first game I ever made.
This was made for a college assignment in which the controls and mechanics had to be simple enough that a 4-year-old could play and enjoy it. Thusly, you need to just roll a ball around an obstacle course and run over some Cuddly Bears. Don't look at the bears too closely, because they are CREEPY.
The first time you play, you'll see that there is a little strategy to this after all if you want to play it well. How many Cuddly Bears can you...erm...Crusade....in 30 seconds?
The record currently sits at 12.
