Easy and Addictive


I'm still figuring out how best to do this blog. I started by writing individual, daily posts on my favorite games. Lately, I've been thinking that's not the best strategy, and so now I'm going to try to write longer, themed posts.

Today's a rainy, cold, lazy day, so the theme of the day is easy and addictive games. These games are easy to learn, easy to control, and super addictive. They're pretty mindless, but it's a challenge to stay alive, so you don't get bored after a few minutes.

Epic Coaster


In Epic Coaster, you control a roller coaster car, jumping from track to track. It's all about timing, but there are fun bonuses to get, and, with the fun graphics and music, it's entertaining just trying to beat your own score.


Tangerine Panic



Those are some giant tangerines! It's all about avoidance, and as time goes on, there are more and more tangerines to dodge. Again, the controls are super easy, but it's tough to last very long--see how long you can survive.


Fishy



Fishy is one of my favorite games ever. It's super easy to play, but pretty hard to win (yes, you can win this one). You start as a tiny fish, and eat your way up. Watch out for the bigger fish, who will chomp you in a second.

Play Fishy.
