Avoider type of games are quite popular theme for flash games developers. It is very easy to create them and most novice in this craft will try to create them. Most games in this genre is not very unique and just repeat this single gameplay again and again. This is game is quite different and try some new things
Your objective is avoid falling objects. Nothing special not happen first few seconds, but after first few blocks fall something happen: the screen will move to another corner of the screen, than after few seconds will change place again than resize size, rotate the screen and so on.
Nothing more to say here, just some simple game for few minutes of your time. Better to try it yourself than read long review
I found something that is not a game in standard meaning, but it is fun and you can play with. This game fall into test yourself category and let you test if your guess about geometric sense is right.
There are couple type of examples: you will point center of circle, find right angle and so on. After each guess you’ve got the feedback and distance from ideal solution.
And after few tries you’ve got your overall score and look up to the high score table with score distribution of all players.
That’s it, nothing more here, but it is fun. You can play it here.
I am programmer and it is pleasure to play puzzle game based on programming principles.
In this game you control small gray colored robot. You control this bot by giving him instructions in simple symbolic programming language.
Do not worry if you do not know how to program. Programming language in this game is just inserting graphical icons with actions to small grid and then hit the run button. After you hit this button, bot will execute your instructions.
Game start with 5 tutorial levels, which help to understand of this game for most gamers. After these levels learning curve will slightly increase. You will need to use function (or procedures if you like Pascal notation) and in last level you will need to use recursion. But do not worry, it is quite straightforward game for all puzzle lovers.
It was a long month with no post, I know, but here we are again. And with a really good game. Even if I was sceptical first, this game somehow managed to catch me, so I’m really thinking about spending 20$ and buying it. It’s nothing more than a new game from the creators of well known Uplink, Darwinia or Defcon. A game called Multiwinia.
First surprise
You’ll find out first surprise when you decide to download this game. You only need to download 50MB of data! In this time, when even many casual games can take hundreds of megabytes this feels like some kind of miracle. Even if you have a really slow connection, it’s no problem to download this game in a few minutes.
Second surprise
But the second surprise is even better. This game is actually pretty good! You don’t need much time to understand what to do (which was my problem in Defcon). You just sit and play. At first I was kinda disappointed because you need to use your keyboard and your mouse, too, but after a few minutes there was no problem with it. Of course I must to say, that I”m no casual player. It’s possible, that many player, that are used to control games only with their mouse are going to have problems. But it would be really pity and I’m sure that they’ll be able to get through it.
And of course I could go on, but I must left some more surprises for you. For now, you just need to know, that Multiwinia is a great and easy to understand strategy game, where you’ll need to think pretty fast. And even if you don’t have much experience with other strategy games, don’t be afraid of this one. It’s so unique that it’s no problem in here.
I am big fan of reading and I spend a lot of time with books. I also like bibliographic book and this is one of the best book of this genre I ever read.
Book cover two Johns who create Doom and also Quake or Commander Keen: John Carmack and John Romero. It starts in their childhood where Carmack tried to burgle a school to stole Apple II and Romero spent all his time playing games in arcades around the town.
Story continues with their first games (both of them makes a lot of games alone (maybe 30 - 60 of them)) and then they finally get together while working in Softdisc publishing company writing games together. Later they created Commander Keen and they create ID software and then is all well known story.
Book is great and author must spent enormous time of researching the topics. I do not see much biographic books which have this depth and also still funny and pleasure to read it. And it also cost as low as $10 on Amazon
Today I’ve got something really unusual for you. I think we’re the first game server writing about this, actually. What’s your definition of a game? Do you need to have a hero? Animations and some score to achieve? Do you need some goal? Or is game just something at least a little interactive that entertains you for a while?
I think that the last think definition is closest to me. But what do I want to talk about? A site called The age project. The thing you can do there is pretty simple. You can upload your actual photo and set your age. The others then guess how old you are. And of course you can do the same with their photos.
Sometimes it’s pretty funny if you think, that some Asian girl must be at least 25 years old and after submitting you find out she’s 14. Of course sometimes it’s pretty easy ( 15 years old sad emo girls are pretty easy;oD) but you can find older people there and I can say, the older they are, the harder to guess their age is!
So, if you want to try something unusual, try this and tell us about funny incidents you find there:o)
