Ellipsis


Ellipsis
: great fun for a few minutes. Not anything too surprising, but this is a nice point-click-destroy game that will entertain you for your lunchbreak. Here's a tip - whenever you clear the field, click a few extra times, because the new enemies tend to spawn right under your mouse, and if you can get rid of them before they scatter it makes things much easier.

As far as these types of games go, this one is pretty well done. I really like the shrapnel effects, although they're a little processor heavy. I'm not sure I'm such a fan of the overall genre - I mean, basically, the difficulty here is that the little squares are kind of small and mouses suck as fine motion instruments - but it amused me enough to load up my screenshot taker and write up a blog entry, so it's worth a play at least.

Drag The Dot



This game has very simple controls: it's all in the name, you drag the dot to the goal. You just have to make sure you don't touch anything along the way. It gets hard pretty quickly.

I'm generally somewhat opposed to games that rely on precise machinations of the mouse pointer, but this one is pretty well done. It's more about planning a course than following a single pixel wide path, and that's a good thing. There are some pretty interesting level designs, check it out.
