Grow, damn you, GROW!

I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite time-wasting websites, eyezmaze. It's a collection of Flash games made by this Japanese guy, which of course means it's going to be bizarre. He tries to make each game easy to understand without any written instruction, which is a good thing, since it's obvious English is not his first language. The best games are the Grow games. You just drag various objects onto the ball in the center, and watch as they grow and interact. That's all there is to it--though it takes a while to find the best order to put them in in order to get a perfect score. There's four different Grow games, so they'll keep you busy for a while.

A less cerebral game is Tontie, which is essentially just whack-a-mole to the EXTREME. On the other side of the intellectual spectrum is chronon, which just got released, and I'm still nowhere near beating it. It sort of reminds me of Majora's Mask, in the sense that what you do at one time of day affects things at later times. Like, put the clock on the wall, and the time will change. Get the hands to point the right way and woohoo, you got the key! That's all I'm gonna tell you, because, hey, figuring it out is all the fun.
