ANOTHER NEW ONLINE GAME, GUYS!

Thanks to my husband, I’ve got yet another fun game to add to my repertoire of time-wasting, soul-sucking free games… just don’t ask me to pronounce it!  Coign of Vantage is an addictive online Flash game.  Per their description:  “Put your spatial perception into perspective with this 3-D puzzle game. Assemble as many images from an abstract cloud as you can before time runs out.”

I’m really enjoying this online game, especially since there’s no element of luck [as Boomshine had].  Also, my husband has seen fit to tell me more than a few times that I lack spatial intelligence, so it’s easy to rationalize this game as a mental exercise.  [And I'm particularly thrilled when I score higher on my games than he does!]

Check out Coign of Vantage and let me know how you do.  I don’t think I’ve ever gotten past 195k… I always get hung up on that palm tree one!

PS – Check out bobblebrook.com for more free online games - they are all Flash-based and pretty :)

hypnotized, mesmerized by boomshine

EDIT:

So I wasn’t kidding about my new addiction to boomshine… I have to play a game or two every day.

This morning, I made a personal high score of 320!  I submitted it proudly, only to find that I ranked at #4 on the Daily List.  And actually, as I was typing up the previous sentence, I saw that my score had just fallen to #5.  And it’s not even noon yet!  There are some REALLY good people out there I guess…

Has anyone done better than 320?  Feel free to post your scores in the comments and brag about them!

Disclaimer for commenter Laura: I’m not working today :D

So many ways to kill time at work, but today’s was an easy choice… boomshine is my poison this lovely Friday morning.

I must have replayed that twelfth level 20+ times before passing. Mindless games rock.
