Here's mine for the day: you need to wait for it to load -- use the mouse to control zoom in and out. How many little details can you find?

wow I wonder how they manage to pull this off? it's a nice trick.

I imagine each main image is a rectangle with a hole in the middle that shows the next image through it and they are both scaled with the same factor -- it's pretty straightforward.

This one will drive you completely bonkers:

CURSE YOU GAAAAAMBIIIIIIIIT *shakes fist*

i just wasted an hour of my life! an hour
but *twitch* i beat it *twitch* whahahaha

espeically with the last 'set of levels, and the occasional weird one (there were three buggers), i racked up 518 deaths! at 1379 seconds...hmm, that's only 30 minutres...whew, so i'm fiiiiine then *twitch*

My final stats for "ball" :
125 Levels
595 Seconds
113 Deaths
Grade : 100% :)

I could have used a pause as well !

PS : I enjoy simple things : http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pacman.html

Simple maybe, but I'm as bad at Pacman now as I was when it first came out! ;)

I didn't get anywhere with that ball game, about the 10 screen or something. My reactions are pretty slow!:(

above the arrow on the right hand side is a hatch...if you press it, it opens, then press the arrow, and a little guy comes up to the cannon

by Gambit37
That's the one I missed -- just kept clicking the arrow and the hatch just wiggled.... ok, getting somewhere now, thanks!

not a problem, my friend said he had the same problem : ) I clicked everywhere so was fine

I warn you, it's EVIL! You will need to use the reload bottom right alot!

Hmmmm... can't make much use of the bombs..... should they be disposed of or are they useful?

That damn razor fox thing is bugging me too...

I can see I'll be wasting hours on this!

It reminds me of Benefactor on the Amiga -- remember that?

the bombs may not be your friend : )

and nope, dont' remember it...

Damn you Beowuuf! I have things to do! I can't be playing this! *runs off for more*

Here's Benefactor -- kinda like Lode Runner too:

I've given up that one for now -- but found this:

A lot less complicated and a lot more beautiful.

Woot, solved Hapland -- bugged me for ages because I managed one thing that made it easy but then couldn't recreate it so didn't know what I was doing wrong -- turns out there are a couple of alternate ways to win. Infuriating, but fun.

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2005 5:01 pm
by beowuuf
alternate ways? groovy!

yeah, there was soemthign i thought i had tried, but i hadn't, so couldnt' see how to win for a while until my friend pointed it out, and i was like 'i tried that, it didn't work' then realised i hadn't : )

i got stuck at the goats on the other one...i thought he should jump down onto the next goat, but couldn't make him do it...ah well!

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2005 5:30 pm
by Gambit37
Goats -- oh, right. Have you investigated the fisherman?

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2005 5:53 pm
by beowuuf
ah, is there a door i was missing? i couldn't find anything clickable around the fishing pole, so assumed that came later...

This is the cutest of them all - and very entertaining. I know the ebaumsworld images. They are fantastic.

Here is a good one for you to try out. It's the old "How to get them to the other side" game. There are several of those.
You can play all those games for free that are under a small green bubble - the larger ones are not free. And if you want the solution, you will have to register first. :wink:

Have fun... http://www.plastelina.net/games/game1.html

I've played Samerost before, it wasn't too hard...As for that Hapland thing, I'm still trying...getting somewhere I think. At least it don't take too long to restart lol.

yeah, samerost i assume is a kids one...you know what got me?
the scrolling screen! I never saw the bottom of the pole!

by Gambit37
Yeah, it's not supposed to be difficult. It's beautifully executed though and the back ground music/sounds really set it off well. Best played with your browser full screen and no chrome clutter.

Here are some more games :

Castle : http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/castle/ (made me crazy, I was so good I never even finished playing it !)

Destructionism : http://www.haricot.to/mw/dstrct.swf (anybody here can read Japanese and tell me how to finish this game ? I always run out of time...)

I really don't get Hapland btw... It seems I've tried everything without result... Can't prevent the little idiot from jumping on the landmine for example... Can't get rid of the "razor fox"... Don't see the point of the window below the cannon... Don't understand what the light bulb is about either... HELP !!!!!! I'm going crazy here ! And I'm wasting precious Imprisonned Again time... :)

Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 5:18 pm

Hint regarding the lightbulb - what would you do if you had one in your face and it kept flashing over and over and over...?
Though I'm not sure what the point is of doing what needs to be done regarding said lightbulb /shrug. I finished it eventually anyway.

Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 5:42 pm
by beowuuf
lol, the lightbulb seems to be a red herring, unless there is another way to do it

and you need to do soemthing before you let the guy run over the landmine...gettign rid of the landmine

and the window beside the cannon has a use...but that may be for later...along wwith gettign rid of the evil guy : )
