Doodle- Today's time-waster


In the game Doodle you play the part of a stick figure. Your goal is to get to the checkered flag at the end of the board without being erased or attacked by one of the stray spiked balls. The first few levels of the game are pretty simple with nothing attacking you and are designed primarily for you to get the hang of controlling the stick figure. As the the levels progress you have to fight more eraser and the game gets more difficult.

Pac-Xon - Today's time-waster


Pax-Xon is a new take on your traditional Pac-man game. In the game you're a Pac man like character, and your goal is to cover 80% of the board in blue without touching a ghost. You do that by traveling across the screen drawing lines. If you enclose an area with lines that doesn't contain a ghost then that entire area turns blue, if a ghost touches your line in progress then you lose a life.

There are a couple of power-ups that can occur. Cherries make you move faster, Bananas make ghosts move slower, and ice cream will make ghosts stop all together. You can also turn the tables on the ghosts by eating a blinking circle which, much like the power pills in the corners of the original Pac Man, give you the goods and make your little muncher able to eat the ghosts.

[Thanks E.J.!]

Ellipsis - Today's time-waster

Today's time-waster is similar in design to Dodge and Squares. In Ellipsis you are the center circle, and you are trying to defend yourself against the squares. You destroy the squares by clicking on them. If you don't get to a square in time and it hits your circle you lose power. The circles power starts at 100, giving you 100 times to get hit before the game is over. Occasionally smaller squares can get caught inside of your circle, which can take away from your power much more quickly.

As you progress through the levels sometimes larger squares split into smaller squares rather than disappear when you click on them. I played the game for about an hour this morning and managed to make it onto the high scores list in the very last position.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
