Bored?

It's got pages and pages of games. And you can look by category for the types of games you like to play. I'll be honest, I haven't played many of them, but there are some that look pretty good. Going last this week, I had to come up with something that hasn't already been mentioned, but I do have one or two specific ones still up my sleeve.

Boomshine
It's additictively simple - you only click once on each level! Then, you just watch as your colored circles explode and try to catch as many bystanders in the color blob explosion - each level has a different number you have to collect, so trust me, it's addictive. When you start out, you'll feel overly confident, but once you get up there, it does get more challenging. And, thus, more addictive to get your one click right. It's so simple, you just can't walk away until you've beaten it. Which, it says only like 4% do, but I'm not sure. . I think there's some fuzzy math. Maybe on the first try, but you get to keep trying each level until you pass it, so it's not like you have to start all the way over (which I have done no less that 30 times already while typing this post to try to beat level 12. Damn this game!) Seems like I read a Georgia Tech email address on it when I used to play before, so I think the guy that created it went to GT?

Mahjongg
I'm still a fan, even though it's been around a while and has multiple versions now.

Alchemy
It took me a while to find it, but I used to play this game a lot and enjoy it. You have to match each tile either by color or symbol and try to fill out rows and columns until they disappear. Be careful putting colors next to each other, because if you have 3 around one square you can't play anything there, unless two symbols are the same. It's hard to explain, but it's fun and challenging. It's nice, because it will highlight tiles that will accept the symbol showing, but if you can't play it, you have to discard and your lava level rises until you can play again.

So, have fun not working this week!

Boomshine's all pretty! Should one play it while drinking moonshine?
