Asleep Walking - The Game you should not play while you're "SLEEPY"

Asleep Walking is another full-of-thrill puzzle game at Hallpass.com

Here, in this game, it is truly said by the developers "Timing and Patience are the keys to success." This is a simple game which you'll love to play. The game concept is that you are in control of a person who is "Sleep-Walking". Control in the sense is that you can just hold him stand still by pressing spacebar or left mouse button or else he'll keep walking.

Now you have to manage his walking in such logical ways so that he is able to pass the hurdles coming in front of him otherwise he'll die. Make him stop or make him walk, the result should be that he should be able to pass the hurdles.

The game play is made interactive by adding many stages to the game. There are in all 26 stages in the game all with different types of hurdles. These challenging hurdles makes it hard to go through. So it needs concentration and patience to pass the stages.

Have a look at the screen shots and play this game at least once.

Real Fun Game - "The I of It"

Yesterday night I played a game called "The I of It" at Arcade Canvas and I loved it.

The story is that once upon a time, "t" in "It" was in lowercase, and "I" was in uppercase so "t" runs away. Now "I" starts its journey to search for "t" and has to pass many hurdles to get through to "t".

Hurdles include uneven earth surfaces, undecided gravity in some stages, chin-ups, chin-ups and chin-downs, etc. The "T" can enlarge and shrink in order to pass these hurdles. Finally after passing approximately 20 stages, "I" gets through and is able to transform itself into lowercase and meets "t". Surprising part in the end was that "t" had ate a bit more and had transformed into "T". That was the real fun part of it.

The game play experience was awesome considering that I am a puzzle game player. You must try out this game once.

The Image displayed here is the stage where the gravity is nil and "I" is floating above the ground. And a bomb is roaming around to destroy the "I".

1942, Game of the 80s

Here's the link to another nice and interactive game from the 80s, called 1942.

It is the game based on the CLASSIC IDEA of fighting with the enemy aeroplanes.

Interactivity: This game is very interactive and involving. It holds the user's attention in different ways. At times you have to deal with many smaller aeroplanes and at some stage you may also have to deal with bigger aeroplanes. This game only uses five keys i.e. four movement keys and one fire key which is "Z" key.

The spatial arena displays a area where one plane will be yours and there will be many other planes coming from different sides to destroy you with their bullets.

Concept: 1942 is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up made by Capcom that was released for the arcade in 1984. It was the first game in the 19XX series.

Goal: The goal of the game is to keep moving further while destroying the enemies and protecting yourself from them and their bullets if you can't destroy them.

Challenge: There are some challenging factors in the game which makes it hard and interesting to play the game. While playing you will notice that some of the planes are small and some are big. The big ones are comparatively hard to destroy than the smaller ones. You also get some powers through the game when you accomplish some specific task ( for example, destroy ALL the planes of same colour coming in a queue).

Story: I haven't noticed any story element behind this game.

This game is very challenging...!! Here is the snapshot of the game...!!


Game of the 80s, Frogger

Frogger is a nice game Classic Games Arcade of the 80s where a player has to help the frogs to cross the obstacles and reach on the other side.

Interactivity: While talking about interactivity, it just depends on the accurate use of four keys to move left, right, up and down. The whole game depends on this 4 keys only and nothing else.

Concept: The concept of the game is to help a frog traverse from bottom to top by passing through some of the obstacles such as vehicles on road and turtles and wood logs in the river.

Goal: However I was not able to fulfill the goal but it seems that the goal of the game is to fill up all the five places on the top with the frogs i.e. to help 5 frogs to reach on top safely.

Challenge:  I would like to say that for the first time when I played this game, I was not able to understand the full scenario of the game which consists of roads and vehicles as the first obstacle and river and turtles and wood logs as second obstacle. The second obstacle is not so obvious which adds the interactivity to the game for some persons and adds the irritation to some persons like me. However later I found the way out and then I enjoyed the game actually.

Overall, game is worth playing....!!!


Here's a screenshot of the game.

Game of the 70s, Asteroids

Asteroids:

I played a game "ASTEROIDS" at Game of the 70s, Asteroids

Asteroids is one of the popular game of the 1970's which was very interactive according to the technology prevailed at that time.

Lets have a look on how is the game and what are its features...

Interactivity: The game is very interactive considering it as a 70s game. It is a one player game where the player will be destroying enemies' elements on the computer screen.

If you constantly keep hitting the lasers then you will not be able to fire it for a specific amount of time i.e. 3-5 seconds.

You also get bonus stars if you destroy some specific type of Asteroids and you have to collect them before they are disappeared or taken back by the enemies.

Concept: The concept of the game is to destroy all the Asteroids floating here and there in the universe.

The stage consists of a universe like area having one destroyer that is you and some stars and asteroids progressing from different directions.

Goal: The overall goal of the game is to protect yourself and while scoring and keep destroying all the asteroids till you are alive.

Challenge: The main challenge of this game is that it is hard to understand the movement of your spaceship and for the first time you might not be able to control it as me. But for the subsequent times you will slowly and gradually be able to understand how it moves. (Will be self explanatory if you will play it by following the link provided above)

Story: There is no story element depicted in the game but still it proves to be a very enjoyable game with its interactivity.


Overall, the game play was very enjoyable...!!!
