Sep. 19th, 2007 02:17 pmGames which I am not, under any circumstances, allowed to play while writing an essay or story:
The Ladybirds on a Log Game
Pretty much the definition of kawaii (this is definitely a game to play with the sound on for its full effect), it's blessedly simple: there's ladybirds spinning in place on a log. You click your mouse, they move forward for as long as the button is pressed. Two bugs meet, they merge. One bug left, next level. A bug falls off the log, game over. There's about twelve levels, and it is ridiculously cheerful and addictive.
Desktop Tower Defense
There's a desk. From one side, these little critters enter. On the other side, they leave. Your goal, if you choose to accept it, is to build a maze of towers to attack the critters and stop them from reaching the other side. They travel the most direct path, so this should be easy, right? Right?
(D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!...Yip-pee!. Dammit!)
Flash Circle Tower Defense
The beasties enter from two sides, and then they go round and round and round until your towers have killed them all. There's no way to actually win - each wave of beasties is stronger than the last, and the game ends when more than 100 of them are in the field at one time. Kind of soul-sucking, really.
Onslaught
Another one where each wave gets stronger, this time until ten have made it past your defenses. But the towers have cool combination effects, and, and, zappy lightning and cluster-bombs and stuff. And you're defending Area 51, and being attacked by squid and photocopiers. As I frequently mention, I am easily amused.
