Link Dump Friday
December 5, 2008
(The following paragraph was created using a random paragraph generator. Seriously!) Link Dump Friday noses throughout a physic electron. A carrot reflects Link Dump Friday under the wound. Link Dump Friday sweeps behind the obnoxious comedy. The tax courses an encouraged pot within this joke. How can games caution within Link Dump Friday?
Squiggle Squid - A simple but charming arcade-style game where you play a squid dashing around under the ocean collecting plankton. The squid follows your cursor and can dash with a quick click of the mouse button. Each time he dashes he lets loose a cloud of ink that collects plankton caught in the fog. The farther away the cursor, the bigger the cloud.
Super Amazing Tiger Boy - Well, looks like aliens are invading earth. As a really rather amazing tiger boy that can fly, it's obviously your job to take care of the situation. This somewhat slow-paced shooter has a great cartoonish look and feel, and the power-ups you collect and unleash are fun to watch.
Draw My Thing - Multiplayer online pictionary! Gather in a chat room with a group of people and you all take turns drawing and guessing what's being drawn. Get two points for right answers, one point for drawing and having someone guess your picture.
JigCircle - Like a jigsaw puzzle, only with circular pieces instead of the usual cut-out shapes. This takes away piece hunting and a lot of trial-and-error and allows you to focus on completing the picture at hand.
Aqua Turret - Waves of enemy ships attack a lone turret in the middle of the sea. Using a dual-barreled attack along with a surprisingly fun charge shot, help the turret defend itself against the baddies and upgrade to more/better weapons between waves.
SX150X002 - A non-interactive movie (of sorts) created by Yoshio Ishii of Nekogames, author of the Hoshi Saga series. Sit and stare at the undulating bubbles, rolling colors, and constantly throbbing background ambience. Is this what it's like to drink soda and eat pop rocks at the same time?!
Draw my Thing is fun, but some people post inappropriate things. I just experienced someone who consistently said the "f" word whenever he didn't get it right, and said it at the others when he did.
I can't even confirm who got my picture right for the picto game. All the others are superb.:)
I like jig circle. The perfect casual game :)
Aqua Turret doesn't save your progress if you close the window. Just a warning, because I like the game but not starting over from the beginning when I was halfway through it.
LOL! I want this random paragraph generator! That's just too brilliant to not waste a whole weekend writing a whole book with it! :P
I really like " Draw my Thing". It is sometimes a bit hard excepecially when english is not your first language ( I had to draw a "peg" and I spend 10 secondes to look it up first).
Otherwise, when people are nice and polite it is very enjoyable !
JigCircle is awesome! The only one I had trouble with was the orange - and I was startled when the pieces merged because I didn't realize I had it! Much fun.
I really enjoyed Draw My Thing! I actually played with, like, a cartoonist. His drawings were way too good.
I don't think I have done enough drugs to fully appreciate SX150X002. ever. I kept waiting for something more. It would be interesting if this was something like a visualization of the results from the LHC or something.
Draw My Thing is ridiculously similar to "iSketch" which was out years ago; I remember playing it in high school.
Personally, I find iSketch to be a more developed, mature and polished game (especially re: the cursor behaviour).
Try it out if you like Draw My Thing.
SX150X002 would make an awesome media player visualization.
Aqua Turret is a pretty good game. I was a little disappointed to find a death set you back all the way to the beginning. With a few refinements Aqua Turret could easily go from good to great.
draw my thing reminds me of inklink, which i used to play back in the days when shockwave.com was the only site with decent online games :)
Is anyone missing the resizing tool in Draw My Thing? I have undo/redo/clear and the color choices, but no resizer. Wha?
I'm addicted to Draw my Thing, but there are lots of trolls on it. Someone did, in fact, Draw his Thing and then drew a girl labeled with my name doing something very inappropriate to it.
Dylan, I don't know if it's just my computer but I tried iSketch and it was absolutely horrible. For some reason the playing area kept disappearing and text entry was so slow that if I even typed at normal speed it would only catch half the word. Very frustrating.
