iDemolished

Do you love Angry Birds?  iDemolished puts a unique twist on Angry Birds.  Are you tired of trying to aim the slingshot perfectly?  iDemolished is all about placing sticks of explosives in the right spots, and clicking the boom button.  The game offers over fifty levels, but also lets you create your own, and upload them online for other players to enjoy.

I love playing this game on my phone, and tablet.  Another little twist they added is you can influence the way the blocks fall by tilting your phone in the direction you want them to fall.  It makes the game quite addicting, and fun.

You never run out of content with all the player made content.  I have seen some pretty amazing levels made by players.  The best part is the game is not just about playing, but if you are the one who likes crafting in games than you will really love being able to make your own levels for other players to play.

Refraction

Do you love Portal?  Do you love the challenge of solving puzzles in games?  Refraction reminds me of Portal where you have to use your brain to figure out how to solve the puzzle, and complete the level. There are over 120 puzzles to solve in Refraction.

It is the free Amazon app of the day today, but if you miss it the best part is it is normally only about a $1.  It will be a dollar very well spent when you spend hours, and hours playing the game on your smartphone, or tablet.

The game is pretty simple to understand.  You basically have static colored lasers that have to be reflected by a selected amount of mirrors, and prisms to the same colored circle.  It sounds easy, but the puzzles can get really complicated to solve.

The mirrors are simple.  They simply reflect the same color laser.  You can move the mirrors anywhere, and rotate the degree of the mirror to change the angle of the reflection.  The prism works so that it takes the color, and splits it into its primary colors.  For example it will take am orange laser, and than sprout a yellow, and red laser out the other sides.

The exciting part also about Refraction is there are several different solutions to each puzzle level.  The game tracks your best record of the shortest distance, the least amount of mirrors, and prisms used to solve the puzzle.  It also lets you take screenshots that saves to your SD card.  How cool is that?

Gaming Inspiration

The last few weeks I have been laying low when it comes to gaming.  I needed a break, and needed to rejuvenate my mind a little.  I think it worked.  Yesterday after looking in a Lego store it gave me all these ideas for building stuff in Minecraft.

I also bought Star Wars Force Unleashed II.  I loved the game last year at PAX, and I finally just bought the game.  You can't beat swinging light sabers around.  We will see how long the fun lasts, but for now it should give me hours of enjoyment.

I also decided to see what all the hype is about with Android Games.  I see how such simple games can become very addicting.  I have been playing a bowling game, pop a shot, Angry Birds, and I just downloaded Plants vs. Zombies yesterday.

I am really trying to broaden my gaming instead of being infatuated with one MMORPG, or game.
