Tower Bloxx - Time Waster
by Jason Clarke Jan 9th 2008
Tower Bloxx is a game of precision, timing, and stacking. It allows you to take that skill that you learned as a baby (stacking blocks), and use it in a quick and mildly entertaining little flash game on your computer. The concept is that you are building an apartment tower out of identical blocks. Each block swings from a crane above, and your job is to pick the exact right moment to click and release the block so that it lands on top of the previous block a squarely as possible. The more square your block lands, the more people fly in from the sides using umbrellas as wings and take up residence in the block you just dropped. Stacking them exactly on top of one another will generate bonus points.
As the tower gets taller, it starts to sway, meaning you have a swinging block that you have to time to land on a moving target. In one quick game we were able to stack up 67 blocks in the quick game, but knowing our readers we're sure you'll be able to annihilate that score in short order. Post your tallest number of blocks stacked, and your high scores here for bragging rights or so that the rest of us can point and laugh at you.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
