Warp Forest - Today's Time Waster
by Jordan Running May 26th 2006 at 11:25AM
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?[Via Jay is Games]

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

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.
