LadyCrimson Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Since my ability to spend long hours gaming has been at least temporarily prevented, I've been more into the mini-game/puzzles that don't take long to play/you can play on a browser. Hard to find good ones tho, so I thought when I come across one I'd share/discuss it here. Feel free to add your own links if you find a one! ---------------------------- More of a simulation than game but still fun. http://www.globalspec.com/Trebuchet/]The Treb Challenge - gain points for making your trebuchet toss a rock, based on real physics (supposedly). I'm essentially a physics dunce, so my first attempt at figuring out how to even make the trebuchet toss a stone further than it's original setting was pretty much a dud. But I still found it kinda fun. The site also has a 'Build Your Own Rocket-Launcher' mini-game in the same vein. http://www.globalspec.com/BrainStrainer/ Edited February 20, 2007 by LadyCrimson Didn't want to make another thread. :) “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 So far I've only gotten a max distance of 486, accuracy and power around 650, for a total paltry score of around 1790. “Things are as they are.

Tale Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Projectile mass works against you. Lower is better. Counterweight works for you. Higher is better. Leave the rest default.

Deraldin Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I managed to get a distance of 649. I've yet to get 650 on the dot. I managed 750 in the accuracy. I missed the 250 twice by a pixel or two. I failed to knock down the wall in my first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 I haven't knocked down the wall in one shot either. Just points for hitting it. What I really want to know is: how did that one person get a score of 100,000? “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Noticed the name, didn't think about it. But... Maybe the first 3-5 come from the maker of the game. “Things are as they are.

I looked at that one; it'a neat, but too much for my tiny brain. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Friends showed me this one: Roadblocks - a simple game of about 22 short lvls of getting a ball to move into a 'goal.' It's not too hard, but there's a few tricky puzzler levels that may stump some a bit. “Things are as they are.
