That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Your levels were good, and it turns out that I played one of them already (back in Jan 09)!  In terms of design/aesthetics/creativity, they are among some of the best levels I've played.  In terms of difficulty though, I suck.

I personally prefer to play simple/fun levels like the ones I published, which are also dumb and ugly.


Well, hell, FP, thanks. How far along did you get? Shit gets cooler deeper in the levels. If you want to see the whole thing, I can run through them with one day if you want.

Agreed.  Pentago and Bannanagrams are my two favorites, currently.  Also I've been getting craftier recently.  Bone, brass, and steel have more readily come to hand than a controler.

Go is always good, too, for a board game. II also like the Zombie!!! series. I've also just recently got into MTGO, which has an near endless selection of cards,and therefore a near endless number of strats you can use to dimown your opponents.

Pentago is <3. Did you know that there exists a computerized pentago-by-mail thing?

I never played Pentago but when I read the rules I wanted to code it into an online javascript multiplaya game.

But then I got distrax0red.,

I also implemented a (broken) pentago.

Wish I had the game this thread is about.  Sounds cool.

As far as "video games can be good for you", I would say that statistically speaking, these kind of games are outliers.  Most of the games I like are brain poison, and I wouldn't love them any other way.

Except Armored Core, which oddly is brain poison during missions and requires intelligence in between.  YKWIM if you've played it.

Zelda is totally good for brain development! I am not even joking.

I hope you're not! I grew up on Zelda. I've been playing since the first game.

The thing with this game, is that you only really get an exercise out of it if you use the building tools. It's a simple thing to pop in and fuck around, but to actually make things that do exactly what you want them to do is another story, sometimes you have to be really creative in using the available tools to make it happen.

Dimo, you made me realize I don't play video games much anymore.  I'm either on the internet, or working on things.

"I should make more tiem in my life for that, I still want to play that other Castelvania game."

Weird.

Richter, games are good for the head. Not only for fun. Unique problems call for creative problem solving skills, and you can exercise that with many, if not all, games. All work and no play makes Richter a grey face. GO PLAY!

A game I used to enjoy a lot was Animal Crossingbut the zen-like purposelessness of that game was anything but mind-stimulating. More and more I think about it, the town you find yourself living in is like some sort of strange purgatory.

Tell me you're not stuck at the third jump at the beginning.  There is much more to see. Unfortunately for you, it gets tougher...
