Incredibox is a great little Flash project that lets you mix your own little a capella beat box. The interface is super slick, and the sheer act of adding in loops is pleasurable. I also love how the bonus interstitials have little “unlock” requirements, before you can view them. Really well executed, and quite a…
Record Tripping is a beautiful, whimsical game that centers around the use of your mouse wheel. There are no keyboard buttons to press, no key combos to remember. You can play the whole game just using your mouse (so long as you’ve got a scroller/wheel). Created by Bell Brothers, this game is as fun to…
This game pretty much does what it advertises. It’s a basketball game, pure and simple, where you’re shooting hoops against a clock. Oh, and against maybe 1,000 other people too, at the same time. And while it’s a fairly straightforward kind of game, it’s remarkably addictive. The gameplay is smooth, and the whole process is…
Puki 3D: On a routine mission to Deep Space Station G-7, you pick up a cute, harmless Puki as a pet. Following exposure to dangerous Gamma radiation, the Puki began to reproduce rampantly, and also grew a set of sharp teeth (and a taste for blood). As the sole survivor, you must race through the…
Elona Shooter is a castle defense game, but with a RPG twist. As you advance through each day, your characters gain experience and money, allowing you to slowly buy extra fortificatios, weapons, etc. I’m not usually one for these types of games, but I got sucked into this one due to the difficulty. It’s actually…
I’ve been neglecting my RSS reader for a good while this week, and finally caught up. I happened to notice that there was a new Grow game, and literally shouted out my glee (and I was all alone, mind you). SO excited to share this. Haven’t played it much at all, but if any of…
I had good intentions of waking up early to do some work, and to post something here… but I ended up sleeping in, and not quite having enough time to do either. Body’s catching up to me, I suppose. To tide you over, here’s a link to a fantastic game called Tontie. This is from…
State Assembly of Minovia Cay June 23, 1987 Dear Loyal Citizen: Your background in the physical sciences has more than qualified you to participate in Minovia’s space program. Given that we are already nearly half a century behind the rest of the world in space exploration it makes sense that we start it immediately. We…
I’m a huge fan of the games done by Eyezmaze, particularly the “Grow” series. The basic premise is that every item can influence other items… and the gameplay is more about discovering what order to place things in. The fun for me is seeing how things change each time, and trying to find that just-right…
Sprout is beautiful little game by Jeff Nusz. Not only is the gameplay interesting, but the whole visual style of the thing is something I’ve never really encountered before. I’m definitely reminded of the Grow games, where one decision impacts the next (and can even alter the physical surroundings of the game). The game can…
Chronon is a new game over at eyezmaze.com. I’m a total fan of this site, and am crazy about a lot of the games – specifically Tontie, and any of the Grow games (Grow v. 3, Grow Cube and Grow RPG). Brilliant stuff. Check out the site if you have some time you want to…
That’s right, baby! Yeah! Nerd, you say? Geeky what? Well let me tell you something, buster. Nothing you say will diminish this victory. Why don’t you head on over and solve it, if you’re so smart?
Nearly a year ago, I posted about two games from a site called eyezmaze.com. And while I was severely addicted to Tontie, I always admired the little animations in Grow. Well, last night Mr. Grumpy passed along a link to me, and I learned there are TWO new versions of the game! Today, at the…
Circa 10 PM, Ben pops up in IM, and sends me a screenshot of his victory over Grow RPG.
I bested Grow RPG about 20 minutes prior to Ben. The race is on to see who can figure out Grow Cube!
