Time Wasters - 2012

I forgot to start a new thread for 2012 for the last game I posted about. Here's that one:

Mega Mash - I'm apologizing in advance for ruining your productivity for the rest of the day. This is one of the most imaginative games I've played in a while now. Not only is it a great gameplay idea, but I love the way it's presented, as a broken 8-bit multi-game cartridge. Basically, the idea is that the cartridge is producing read errors, and as a result all the games are glitching into each other. This becomes the basis for some great gameplay. Plus, they really hit some very familiar genres with only occasional and slight copyright infringement

And here's a new one:

Tripod Attack - Clearly someone watched the recent War of the Worlds too many times (though IMO, one time is too many). It's the typical "now you're the bad guy" kind of switcheroo, and there's only one gameplay element, but it's a nice distraction. I found it pretty tough to play straight through, and had to replay old levels several times to upgrade my equipment.

MMMMMM - A gravity puzzle game. It gets somewhat challenging pretty darn fast, though that might just be because I'm not usually that good at these kinds of games...

Johnny Upgrade - There's nothing new to the gameplay here, but I love the premise of the game. When you start out, you literally last about .5 seconds before exploding. From there you have to steadily, bit-by-bit, collect more coins in order to upgrade yourself enough to last long enough to get to the end of the game. Yes, there's a great deal of repetition, but I still found it to be a lot of fun.

I Saw Her Standing There - A very simple "puzzle" game about love. The guitar track is catchy but gets repetitive. The game is enjoyable and over very quickly. All in all, a good Friday distraction

Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now - I apologize. It's weird, easy, and has almost no gameplay value... but I'm a sucker for Perfect Strangers...

Epic Combo Redux - Another upgrading game, where there's pretty much just one button you hit only once and watch everything go from there. I'm still not sure if it's fun...I suspect not

Medieval Golf - Fairly simple gameplay with rudimentary mechanics, but still kind of fun. I've played twice now and I'm already down to a 36 (46 is par). I've found that I only need the driver, 9-iron, and putter for the whole course.

Burrito Bison - I debated posting this. I got sucked into it because I love games where you upgrade to get further and further, but there are definite problems with it. Still, it might appeal to some folks here, and I like the art style...
