Through out march, I tried a good handful of games on Ludobox, and haven’t barely touched the water level of the flash games on the website, as they are representing around 2500 different games, all of them categorized, so it’s easy to find the type of game you are in the mood for.

I have chosen three different games, that I think many of you readers will enjoy to try out. Remember, my rating of the games doesn’t reflect what you are going to feel about the game, as people has different experiences and feelings with different games – but the ratings are reflecting what I prefer to play, and I have never really liked puzzles and strategy games, so I might have been a bit too hard on those games (I always am), so if you like these games, you might enjoy it a lot more than me. I really liked the feeling of Starlight 2, playing that game made me feel some kinda harmony, that only was disrupted by knowing that the score also was based on how fast you can make the pictures.

Shopping Cart Hero 2

Too simple, too repetitive and way too time-consuming if you want to gain enough points to buy all the available items. Fortunately, once you have bought an item, it stays with you. Though with a few tweaks. Like you can buy a groupie, and she stays with you, but if you fail your jump and crash the cart, she will die – but you can re-buy a groupie, so no harm done. You have to jump as long as possible, and items can multiply your score, or help you stay longer in the air. It’s a stickman game, so you won’t exactly enjoy the environment in the game, but it can easily kill off 10-15 dead-anyway minutes in your break, or while waiting on something.

Dice Wars

A short and simple game. I didn’t understand it at first, but I did catch up on the games rules and gameplay after a few minutes. Basically, you have to take over your enemies territories. On every territory you own, there’s one or more dices, and your enemies also has dices on their land. To take over a land, you and your enemy is throwing your dices from the two involved territories. The more dices you have, and the less dices your opponent has, the better chance you have to take over the land. You have to leave one dice on every piece of land, you own, and you can only attack a territory that’s next to the territory, you attack with. You can make as many moves as possible in one turn. I’m not much in for strategy games, but this is so simple that even I am able to think a wee bit forward to take advantage of it. The graphics are kept to a minimum, and haven’t been caressed for at all.

Time from start to end: 15-30 minutes

Starlight 2

I actually really did enjoy this game. Haven’t tried anything like this before. You really feel that it’s some 3d image you are turning around. With your mouse you have to twist and turn the connected stars to make a picture that makes sense. Two different categories, normal mode has 95 pictures to put together, I assume the hard mode has around the same numbers. I made 25 pictures in 10 minutes, and I didn’t get tired of it. Graphics and sounds are joy for the eyes and ears, and that’s what makes this game score high – with the uniqueness this game is showing.

Time from start to end: 1½-2 hours
