I did some more ‘research’ for my game this weekend. I’m still trying to think of a good theme for game (story and characters) so I went online to see if I could get any good inspiration.
Sugar Crash
This game is really fun. The game itself is a pretty simple Breakout-style thing, but the fact that they made it a sugar cube bouncing a baby around makes it freakin’ hilarious! The special modes (a brownie to make you bigger, gum to make you sticky) are great too. I was actually laughing out loud while I was playing this.
Play Sugar Crash at Shockwave.com
Rocket Mania
I got hooked on this one for a couple weeks this summer. You have to spin these fuses around until they line up to launch fireworks. The puzzle aspect is good, but I think the thing about it that’s so satisfying is the sound of the rockets launching, especially if you trigger multiple launches at once.
They seem to have added a ridiculous talking dragon since the last time I played. Not sure what that’s about.
