Dodge: Today's time-waster

by Ryan Sullivan Feb 11th 2007

Today's time-waster is very similar to Squares, with the main difference being the little red circles. In Dodge, you are the blue circle and need to touch the blue square. Every time you touch the blue square an new one will appear. The catch is that for every square you touch a new little red circle appears as well, and this is what you want to avoid. And these red circles can be tricky as well, for every new red circle moves in a different direction and speed, making for a very interesting game once you are playing for a while.

Dodge is played with the mouse only. Where ever you move the mouse is where your blue circle will go. For every blue square you touch you score goes up by five. The bottom of the page holds your current score as well as your high score for that session. Enjoy!

Not to brag too much, but I clocked in at 185. Repeated to 150 several times, but my average was probably 120.

So simple, yet so good.

I am thinking that this must be the perfect mental exercise for some activity.

Seems like the first person shooter version of mine sweeper. No thought, just reaction.

Tip: be patient, avoid and wait for an opening, but always now your exit.

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.
