Thymer - easy web based project management
The interface has a one page design that allows you to see everything at a glance. It uses natural language processing so you can type what you think without having to remember specific commands.

I like how you can share tasks and projects with your colleagues as well as the ability to provide comments on different items. You can also drag and drop items exactly where you want. Thymer has 4 built in codes you can choose for your tasks - Discuss, Importance, Billable and Waiting for. It also allows you to add as many tags as you want to an item.
By design, Thymer eliminates fancy features the majority of people don't use or need. However, there are some items I would like to see such as SMS notification and coordination with calendar programs like Google or Office. The app is designed by Stunf, a Netherlands firm, and they are adding new features everyday. The latest are the ability to add tasks via email and Twitter.
Now in private beta, Thymer is free but when it is fully released there will be a subscription fee. Thymer has released 200 beta keys to Download Squad readers. Just enter the code DOWNLOADSQUAD. Be sure to let us know what you think.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
