I've never been very good with that fine tune mouse control. You can tell from the drawing at the top of my YouTube page, which I drew myself using just the mouse in Windows Paint application. I gotta say... it's pretty freaking hard. Sure it starts off easy, but around level 6, the thing just gets ridiculous. As you progress from one stage to another, you're constantly challenged with progressively more difficult levels. I know that's how most games go, but this game manages to bring new levels of insane with each step forward you take. Now granted, I didn't understand the control fully until level 9. Up until then I thought you couldn't touch the walls without dying. It turns out, it's just the red stuff you have to avoid. After I ditched that handicap, I figured it was smooth sailing... and it was... until level 15. Just look at this level! There is no place at all to just rest the mouse while you plan your next move.
What are those things? Darth Maul's butter knives?
If you're looking for a unique and challenging game, that will up your skill with your mouse, this is it. Check it out. If you get stuck, you can also watch my walkthrough video on my YouTube Channel or below.
I like playing flash puzzle games. It's like taking a short IQ test. I just made a walk through for this fun flash game by bontegames. I'd recommend giving this short puzzler game a try.
This start screen and music is nothing short of iconic.
Not the best grammar, but the story is clear enough. Gannon is the bad guy... Something about a Triforce... Zelda was kidnapped... Something else about a Triforce... Link has to save her.
I think this is the best technique for taking this guy out. Seriously, I bet you've never thought of it.
On each level, you find a piece of the Triforce.
Link and Zelda with the Triforces of wisdom and power.
Not a lot of franchises have held up to the test of time like the Zelda series. With the exception of Adventures of Link and the CD-I's Zelda: Wand of Gamelon (Angry Video Game Nerd did reviews on both of them), just about every Zelda game has been an iconic and innovative game.
In honor of the series, I replayed the game, recording the locations of the levels and the boss fights. If I need to spoiler alert you of the ending for The Legend of Zelda, you're reading the wrong blog.
The game is challenging, but not ridiculous. I used to remember the blue knights being the most difficult enemy in the game, but after the replay, I realized it's damn blue wizards. They phase all over the place, they're movement is erratic, and if you're unlucky enough to line up straight up on one while you're shooting at him, they just start firing that spell wave at you like it's going out of style. One of the only times in the game I needed to have the old lady's potion was level 6... just for these douche bags.
"Asswhopicus!"
I'd really like to bring your attention to my cool tactic for the level 3 boss. I'm pretty sure it's a good tactic that not a lot of you thought of. Just to set me straight though, I'd like to know if I was able to discover a new trick on an old game.
Triple Town is a match three puzzle game, where you place game pieces down that combine into more complex pieces. The goal is to make the biggest city you can before you run out of space on the board. While the description of the game is accurate in it's simplicity, I've got a game play video that should give you a better idea of how fun this game is. This is one of those games that "you'll need a strong support group of friends to get you to stop playing". I wish you the best of luck in life if you attempt to play this game and think you can stop.
This cute little game has addictive game play, the weirdest sound effects, and the cutest antagonists... da bears. If you can't get enough of these cute little board hogs, check out the Triple Town t-shirts zazzle has for sale.
Pixel Defenders Puzzle, I'm not gonna lie to you is straight up ripped off from Triple Town, just like Candy Crush Saga is taken from Bejeweled Blitz. They are the same puzzle game, but so much more dynamic.Candy Crush added some walls and shit, but this game added a whole other game that could not have been possible without the Triple Town puzzle style. Both of these guys, Spry Fox and these other like nobodies - just this group thrown together,
Who?
No like production team name, just two dudes and a chick who make games while Dare to Oppress has band practice. Oh, by the way, while we were hanging out we only made like one of the most challenging and rewarding puzzle games you'll ever play. These guys even have a support page, but like no programming team name. Like... who am I suppose to call if I'm in trouble.
So it's like this, the enemy gets your guys, you're defeated. You mess up on the puzzle, you're defeated. You walk out that door without eating a bologna sandwich you're done. There is like no way to keep it together on the later levels. You are going to lose, and when you do, you'll learn, and you'll go right back at it. You're gonna hit it so hard its insides burst. You are better now than you ever could have been without this game.
Basically, I'm saying the game provides a rewarding challenge in a volume that few games achieve.
So you should enjoy these games. Triple Town will make a nice "waiting in line" game on your phone, and Pixel Defenders Puzzle is more likely going to sear itself onto the inside of your head.
This addictive puzzle game gives you a series of colored dots you connect to complete consecutively more difficult boards. to make it a little more challenging, you have to use all the space on the board too.
This game is a little like the Lightcycle game from Tron crossed with any other Tetris style game. With tons of maps, even in the free version, this game will keep you occupied for a long time.
Also, since the levels are short, you can use it as a momentary diversion just about anywhere: in line at the bank, DMV, traffic jam, or during sex... Pretty much anytime you have a couple minutes you're not doing anything important.
Apparently, I can post from my phone... Let's give this a shot.
Speaking of shots, I've been playing Death Rally for the iPhone lately. This game is madly addictive.
This game has a basic story line, you're a street racer who gets caught by the cops. Rather than put you in jail, you have to join the Death Rally in order to bring in "The Adversary". He's not an easy target though, you have to race your way through multiple tracks, upgrading your cars and weapons as you go.
Not only is the story mode for this game engaging, but it's full of mini games like a free for all kill fest featuring none other than, Duke Nukem.
It's a free download, so there really isn't any reason to miss out on this game.
