The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it’s a great day for some more cool things.
Swarm Simulator
You know, I could’ve sworn I mentioned this in a previous cool things edition, but I’ve been obsessed with the click-clickyness of Swarm Simulator, where you can pretend to be a swarm of… bees? Locusts? Well, of what is still being contested, but it’s a fun game where number go up. It’s text based, too, so you don’t need anything particular special to play it.
Rotating Sandwiches
These sandwiches rotate 360 degrees. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

Forbidden: A First’s Obsession
Author and illustration N Soleil of N.A. Soleil (Metacosm Chronicles) worked very very hard to create this fantastic visual novel, authoring between N and A, making all the visual elements (including the art), AND learning how to code it all on the fly. The game is free to download and play on both Itch and coming soon to Steam. Give it a play, would you?

TrainJazz
Every dot is a subway train in New York, and every day is a new piece of music you’ll only hear once and never again. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster. A very neat concept. Check out what kind of jazz is playing today.
