Why everyone's naked, no one really knows, but you don't have time to sit and ponder.

Naked Melee Armageddon. You have roughly five seconds before the melee begins to load the screen with as many people as you can. When an alien and a human meet, they fight. They destroy each other with axes, explosions, ninja moves, electrocution, etc. No matter the outcome, both the winner and loser vanish. The only way to win is by outnumbering the enemy. [via]

It just seemed like there was a theme today.

So this is a game wherein the only mechanic is how many times you can click the mouse in a given period. Lame.

That was fun for approximately -3.19 seconds.

Which is to say I want my 157 clicks back.

It may have sucked, but it is the first time I have ever beaten a game on all levels.

I like it when the humans bite off the aliens' heads. It was worth spraining my clickin' finger for that alone.

Seriously, who is looking for nuanced skill in Flash games? I've got crap to do. Sometimes you just want to watch a bunch of creepy androgynes smack some space-keester then go have a snack.

Actually, this was pretty awesome.

So that's what happened to those Pya Labs people.

I'm with kyleg. This was cool. Simple in its design, elegant in its concept. And the only game I've ever seen where you can lick your opponent to death.

Great analogy camcgee.

Stupid. I laughed. I played three times. Stopped.

Thanks for the time waster.

yeah but what if . . . cartoons got saved?

I played it twice, enjoyed it twice. That's really about right for a Thursday afternoon. I mean, my boss is leaving for Italy tomorrow, if I'd started playing a highly addictive, multi-level video game just now... that might have been bad. Instead, I can play it twice, and then post comments about it.

I like simple games; this makes me happy. I enjoyed the animations the two times I played it, and now I'm done.

This was really stupid.

Or am I just sore I couldn't master it?

How do you not shoot the puppy?
posted by drezdn at 3:28 PM on April 13, 2006

drezdn, after you click the mouse once, don't move it.

Cheep IR mice have a hard time with the game (mine did, anyay).

This is like a graphics-rich version of a game I invented in junior high on my calculator.

Press +. Press 1. Press the = button as many times as you can in 10 seconds. Marvel at score. Repeat.

Junior high was boring.

I liked to see how fast I could start and stop the stop watch on my watch. I believe my best was about 0.10 seconds. The watch claimed to have 0.XX resolution, but I wonder if it really did....

On windows you can beat don't shoot the puppy by hitting alt+tab and going to another browser window

Shame to waste some nice design on such a weak mechanic. The tiniest shred of depth to the game would have been nice.

I totally rule at don't shoot the puppy with my laptop trackpad.

This game is much harder if you wait for the countdown to finish before you start to click.
