"This is the fourth in our series of posts about the winners of this year’s
public domain game jam,
Gaming Like It’s 1929! We’ve already covered the Best
Remix, Best Deep Cut, and Best Visuals, and today we’re looking at the winner
of the Best Adaptation category:
Calder’s Circus by David Harris.
Regular followers of the jam are surely familiar with David Harris, our one
regular entrant who has won a category every single year. And I promise the
judges aren’t just playing favorites: this year’s entry is once again suffused
with the sort of thoughtful creativity that always makes David’s games stand
out.
Calder’s Circus (I Think Best In Wire) is inspired by the work of
Alexander Calder, best known as one of the earliest creators of kinetic
sculptures or mobiles. In 1929, he presented
Cirque Calder, an improvised
circus performance utilizing dozens of wire and wood figurines.
Calder’s
Circus the game doesn’t just take inspiration from these performances — it
continues them."
