And I want the name of the idiot that couldn't pull himself away from a game that makes "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" look like eight player Halo.

Level 10. Anyone know how to cheat and make it slow down?

Gah! Must ... stop ... playing. Fwiw, Mavis would kick the shit out of most Halo players. I bet she's got insane moves.

I'd just gotten into the work groove, too.

I'd just gotten into the work groove, too. And yet you were reading Metafilter...

Busted. *sigh*

Actually, there's flat out time wasting. Then there's flat out working. Then there's a liminal zone inbetween, which consists of a mixture of the two, which can tip either way. So I was kind of there and thinking about contemplating the possibility of leaning towards perhaps working a bit. That's what I was referring to.

I don't get it why do you want to squash the cute little alien eye guys? If you just leave them alone, they are totally non-threatening. And then to move on to another level, you crush their cute little treehouse ball thing. That's not nice. Also, there seems to be about as much skill and reflex involved as for Ms. Pac Man Apple II+ home edition.

The thing that gets me is how much life you use when your hammer's not good enough to squish the bigger guys.

YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING SICK. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BEAT TO DEATH THOSE POOR DEFENSELESS EYEBALLS?

Here's a larger version.

Actually, having allowed for a couple hours of further study, I concede that this game has its good points.

Feisty, that large version is buggy. The number-pupils show as blanks, so you don't know which square to bop.

Just make your first purchase the silver hammer, and the game is so easy it gets boring. I eventually lost on level 13 because, not knowing what else to do, I bought the cheap hammer that I had skipped over in the beginning. Then I was too slow. After level 10 it's all pretty much the same anyway.
