P.I.C.O. is 3-on-3 Worms style warfare in your browser - Time Waster


If you're a NewGrounds user, you've no doubt seen the Pico franchise before - it's been around for ages. Some of the games in the series might be just a tad politically incorrect, but don't let your sensitive side stop you from trying out P.I.C.O.

P.I.C.O. was created by Bomtoons for Pico Day 2006, and it's still a great way to kill some free time. Choose your team of three characters from the series and dust off your trajectory-based combat skills. Aim your selected weapon (grenade, rocket launcher, fist, etc.) carefully with the arrow keys, press and hold the space bar to power up and release it to unleash your attack.

Want to test your skills against a friend or co-worker? Take them on in a two-player match and prove your superiority! It's a great way to make your whole team blow that important deadline.

P.I.C.O. is a stylish, fun take on the Worms series, and I shudder to think how much time I've blown over the years playing them.

What am I doing blogging? I've got three grenades left!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
