Paths 2 - Today's Time Waster

I'm just a sucker for these drawing games. Paths 2, a sequel (as you might have guessed) to Paths, is a fun Flash action-puzzler in which you must guide a ball through a maze by drawing its path with a pencil. Once you've drawn a path, you press the space bar to set the ball in motion. Of course, it's not that simple: There are obstacles which you must move out of the way with your mouse, which as the levels progress quickly becomes a juggling routine. Paths 2 also adds another challenge on to the original paradigm: keys. Rather than just getting your ball to the goal, in most levels you have to pick up a key first to unlock it. Paths 2 can be a little frustrating at times, but overall it's a fun and addictive time-waster.[Via Jay is Games]
