Sheesh, Twitter & Facebook have been monopolizing my online attention lately.
But hey, it’s Friday, the sun is shining here on the Right Coast, let’s have some Flash Fun with Bubble Spinner.
In what looks like an 80% “repurposing” of Crayon Physics, Magic Pen is a puzzle game that allows you to draw your own freeform physical objects in order to manipulate existing objects — namely, nudging the red ball to the flag. But in a unique twist, you can create pins & hinges (which, in practice, is more fun than it sounds) to generate moving parts that are essential in later levels.
Anyone who’s seen the demo on my iPhone, iPhysics (another demo inspired by C.P.), may recognize this as well. Sans the very cool turning-the-phone-to-change-gravity effect.
Raise your hand if you remember the game Marble Madness. Uh huh… 1, 2… ok. Well, today’s Flash Friday should help you get your nostalgia on…
Contour takes the Madness and gives it a great twist. Instead of moving the orbital sphere itself to the destination, you must raise the ground beneath, and let gravity nudge it to the goal.
On this special Leap Day edition of Flash Friday, you’re invited to play Shift. At first glance, it’s a straightforward “get your guy to the exit” game. However, to get anywhere, you’ll have to shift your thinking.
