Well, this looks lovely: a game in which you appear to play a gigantic fat baby covered in paint who must roll through a drab, monotone city and infuse magical color into the world. It's The Blob, a heavily Katamari inspired project from some clever Dutch students:

The game was a school project for an outside client. The station area of the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands is getting a thorough face-lift, as the station and many buildings around it are being rebuilt. Our task was to make a game that plays in the station area as it will be ten years from now, so that while playing, the audience is informed about what is going to happen. The game was to be played in a centre with information about the changes, but also be downloadable for players at home. This means the main target audience will walk by, play for a few minutes, and then walk on, but it should also be fun for people who download the game.

It's a beautiful little game and we'd love to see this expanded into a full project. Check out more over at TIGSource. Florian Eckhardt
