MazeFrenzy- Today's Time Waster

by Todd Ritter Feb 26th 2008

MazeFrenzy is a mouse-pointer game where you must direct a red dot from "start" to "finish" on a light-colored path without touching the dark-colored boundaries. It's very similar to the board game Operation. To play simply click your mouse on the red dot, let go of the mouse button, and drag your mouse (and the red dot) through the maze to your goal.

You'll encounter obstacles, shortcuts, and frustrating readjustments of your hand and mouse which will inevitably bump the dot into the boundaries causing you to have to start all over again.

While it took us an embarrassing number of tries to complete the maze, we know you'll do better. And when you do, try the even harder version, Maze Frenzy 2.

It didn't make me want to waste much time on it since it's impossible.

This looks like one of those times when having an ultra-accurate gaming mouse would come in handy. Meanwhile, the POS mouse I'm using at work is making me realize what it must be like to run the Indy 500 in a Hyundai.

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.
