Warp Forest - Today's Time Waster

by Jordan Running May 26th 2006

To say the amount of time I killed yesterday playing Warp Forest is embarrassing would be an understatement. This action puzzler is, I think, the best Flash-based specimen of the genre I have ever played. In Warp Forest you drive a little car around a forest, and the goal of each level is to collect all of the keys on the screen and then return to the exit. Of course, it's not nearly as simple as that, because you have obstacles, locked gates, and hostile baddies to contend with, which make some of the levels mind-bogglingly difficult. As expected, most of the levels require you to do things in a very specific sequence, but what set this apart is the more action-y parts that demand quick, precise movements. On top of the rock-solid gameplay, nice graphis, and original puzzles, the game has a few nice touches rare among Flash games, including five game save slots and the ability to turn off the music or sound independently. Now, can anybody tell me how to beat level 24?

Reminds me of the Adventures of Lolo for NES.

To beat level 24, you want to pick up the first chest, then go to the top right. Pick up the second chest. You should have two shields at this point.

Lure the spider to the right and cover the central two monsters. Then cross back over to the exit. That may be enough help to get you through the level.

To continue...

Lure the spider over to cover the left monster. Go to bottom left, pick up two shots. Cross the barrier, pick up 1 shot. You should have 3 shots and 2 shields.

Hint: kill one monster, then run for it.

To continue...

Use the shots to kill the left monster. Go to bottom right corner, pick up key and both chests. Cross to bottom center. Lure the spider to block the bottom monster, then make a run for it.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
