Videogames are usually thought of as complete experiences that are crafted from the dreams and desires of a creative mind and the passion of a team of like-minded developers. There is a growing trend as of late to leave the canvas slightly unfinished for the player to input their own ideas and creative talents into a game.

(DIY) mashes the insane world of micro mini-games and user generated content together in a brilliant way that will make game developers out of anyone willing to pay attention.
