Lost a bit of time today, to an online game by Roboatino called Shogun Showdown.
The controls are pretty easy to learn, and the game involves trying to defeat enemies that appear on either side of the protagonist. A big part of the game is figuring out when to move, when to turn around, and when to unleash your attack.

Chronophoto is an incredibly fun only game, where you’re presented with a photo… and you have to guess what year it was taken.
The rules are simple enough, but the fun part is examining details to try to hone in on a specific decade/year.

I never got into Wordle, or its many permutations/variations. But I happened across Murdle and decided to give it a whirl.
I recall similar word/logic games as a kid, from elementary school. I remember having fun reducing options, and narrowing things down to a select, singular thing.

Mingle is a delightfully simple and delightfully satisfying game by cookiecrayon. The controls are simple, and once you start… it’s difficult to stop until you finish.

There are a handful of games that I return to, that I can pick up and place for a few minutes at a time. This is the first game in a while that can keep my attention for 15+ minutes, per run. And actually makes me want to commit more time by starting another attempt. A sign, I guess, of a well balanced game.

It’s such a strange thing, to feel this kind of nostalgia for a game. Seeing these maps is like driving down an old street from your home town. Familiar from your memories, but different now in light of the current day.

It’s designed for play by two people, but I had a fun time trying to control both people myself. Definitely frustrating, but after a few screens… I found myself determined to see things all the way through to the end.

I lost… a lot of time to this game. How much time, you ask? Well, both times over the weekend when my vision got blurry, I had also been playing this game a lot. To the point where I wondered if my staring at my phone for so long could have caused the blurriness.

paint.wtf is a website where an AI judges how well you draw, based on ridiculous prompts. Think you’ve got what it takes? Maybe you can draw a giant otter in the mountains, or a pigeon that pulls a big piece of paper on wheels.

I tried playing Linjat, by Juho Snellman, once or twice, but never quite got into what was going on. I wandered back a third time, and once things clicked for me… it got pretty fun, and I began trying a few more of the levels.
