Gateway

I ran across a very interesting puzzle type game on line that is very similar to the confusion page I have up. It's called Gateway and it is not for the novice puzzler. It starts out rather easy, but gets very thought provoking near the end. the site has cheats if you really must, but try it without first.

And then there's Gateway II

3210

This game is also called Gimme Friction Baby, but don't ask me why. I found it looking for an updated version of the Pocket PC game I have. It's also an online game. These games are safe. They are part of a game competition that the game geeks, (my term not theirs) participate. The site is called Casual Game Play and is run by a nice guy called Jay

This one is also has a calming stress busting effect. It's not as fast paced as other arcade style games. You shoot things (balls) but of course, not people. As you know you won't find any of those here. The online version is easier than the ppc version.

What you do is shoot a ball from a turret at the bottom of the screen. They bounce off the walls (see why I like it ) like a pool ball would and stop. When they stop they grow till they reach a wall or another ball. Each ball has a 3 on it. You continue shooting balls trying to hit the other balls without hitting the foul line in front of the turret. That ends the game.

As you hit the other balls the number on the ball is reduces by one until it hits zero. At that point it explodes and you get a point. Hence the name 3 2 1 0 .

Remaze

Just when I thought I was done adding games to this page, I discovered Remaze. I didn't try to make it all the way through the game or I would get nothing else done today. Here is what they say at Jay's Games

ReMaze is dark and deliberate It sucks you in with its spooky soundtrack, disorients you with its flickering mazes and cryptic messages, and roughs you up a bit with its fiendish sudden-death levels. Just when you thought you had seen the last of a maze, it comes back to haunt you in the next level. To persevere, you must be wily and thorough.

ReMaze starts off easily enough, with only one corridor down which to guide the white squares. Then there is another, and another, and soon you are caught up trying to navigate several mazes at once, not just to reach the goals, but to reach them simultaneously. Then comes the red death. One misstep and you're toast!

All of these games are at Jays Games and on some games they do offer what they call walk throughs. In other words. CHEATS. Try them first without cheating for more fun.

The games are also navigated through from a console or chooser. That's how I stumbled on Re maze. If you run your cursor up to the top of each game you see icons that change the level of the music let you restart or go up to the game console.. There is also a Mute option. The music drove me batty, but most of the folks on the forum found it realy made the game more interesting.
