Super Meat Boy Co-Creator Makes And Releases New Game Facist! In 12 Hours
Edmund McMillen, best known for co-creating Super Meat Boy, created and released a small web game as part of a recent 12 hour game jam.
The game, according to McMillen, is meant to offer a humorous caricature of what your future child will look like by typing in their name. You can enter any name though, or any word, to produce a strange face. McMillen collected a number of faces on his blog showcasing well-known indie game developers like creative partner Tommy Refenes (who submitted a total of 17 minutes worth of work to the project.), Phil Fish, and Jon Blow.
You can play the game yourself by heading here.

Our Take
What is a game, really? Is Facist! one? I'm not sure, but it is certainly entertaining. Here's my picture according to Facist!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
