Ninja Rampage - Time Waster

by Jason Clarke Mar 18th 2008

You'd think it would be hard to do an online time-waster type game about being a ninja. Surprisingly, Ninja Rampage does just that.

The game is incredibly simple; your ninja character really only has a few moves: jump, crouch, walk, and stab with your sword. But for all that, the game still manages to move quickly and is fun. Ninja Rampage plays sort of like a side-scroller, except that each level is one static screen. Your goal is to move from the left side of the screen through the right side without getting killed by guards or booby-traps.

There is no apparent limit to the number of times you can die and try again, which is the right decision for a time waster. It makes it that much harder to stop playing when you know that you can try just one more time to solve a particularly frustrating level.

For a little ninja fun on your lunch break, you could do worse than Ninja Rampage.

This game is a rip-off of my mates original at:

http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/ninja_rinseout

They decompiled the flash file, stole the actionscript and updated the graphics slightly. It's quite clear if you have a look, he got paid for the original on onemorelevel..hasn't received a penny for this rip-off which has spread around a few sites.

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.
