A good sense of direction is needed to succeed
in this mind-boggling brainteaser of a minigame.
Navigate your way out of the center of a circle
while multiple concentric tracks lead you in con-
fl icting directions. New elements are introduced
as you advance through 17 levels, and exploring
the outcome of these obstacles is half the fun.
What may start out as a seemingly simple task
can turn into a hair-ripping, keyboard-smashing,
mouse-jamming escapade—in other words, jolly
good fun! http://tinyurl.com/6hkugnIn this 2D RTS minigame, you build up your de-
fenses and train units to push into the enemy’s
base. For every unit slaughtered you receive
money and experience. After enough expe-
rience is gained, you can evolve, acquiring
tougher and more powerful units. The constant
need to balance between defense and offense
makes this game fun for more than a few plays.
http://tinyurl.com/2cbkcwDo other dimensions exist? Will a wormhole lead us there? This
game won’t exactly answer these questions, but it will make
pondering the possibilities loads of fun. This fl ash-based mind ex-
erciser can be seen as a parallel to the popular Valve game Portal.
A portal-physics game, Epsilon thrusts you into the space-time
continuum with the ability to stop and reverse time as well as ma-
nipulate gravity. Successfully arranging the wormholes will yield
you tokens and entry into new and increasingly challenging levels.
Think quickly, though, as one missed portal could leave your shiny
orb stranded in a timeless abyss. Complex time fi elds, gravity
tricks, and advanced mechanics will keep you on your toes. Play
through the fi ve diff erent stages to reach the end and you just
might discover something new. http://tinyurl.com/5rlo6yTwizzle
