I have an unimaginably large backlog of indie games, mostly because they're so very, very cheap lately. But whether it's because human beings physically can't turn down deals after a certain threshold or because I like the idea of indie games I dunno.
Anihoo, this round I bought Crayon Physics Deluxe for probably the third time, and Night Sky HD again though I don't know that I've ever actually run that. And I think I've bought Superbrothers Sword and Sorcery before and was just confused and frustrated by it then. It's still a weird directionless Adventure thing. I dunno.
Oh but then I opened up Solar 2. There's some thing with the installer that makes it insist on installing to its default directory no matter what you do, so I was trying to figure out if I could really spare the 50 megs for something that almost certainly doesn't need to be taking up precious, precious SSD space. Then two hours went by.
It's a bit like Osmos (physics object going around trying to absorb smaller objects) but there's slightly more nuance--instead of mashing into things, you need to get them into a stable orbit around the object, and then you end up with systems of objects and then much trippier things happen.
Anyway, after two hours I looked up, saw how late it had gotten, and figured I had better get to bed. I try to find a Save button and discover "Start Story Mode." Because I'd spent those two hours playing the title screen.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

It also gives no indication that it's the title screen.
Though I do believe it's the full game. I don't know because I've only spent two hours.
