Crayon Physics - Awesomely Addictive

It's been a while since I have reviewed/suggested a game of some sort. You need to beware though that should you continue to read through this post and then try out this game you will become seriously addicted and any productivity levels you may be achieving currently will diminish significantly.

Crayon Physics is a simple game that is very cleverly orchestrated. You mouse is a crayon, and you need to build shapes to to assist or propel a little red 2D ball to a star. Simple, but it's the physics that make this such a brilliant game. Gravity comes into play and your drawn objects behave as they would 'in the real world.'

The full game is still to be released but has already won an award at the Independent Games Festival late last month.

The amazing thing is, the current version was written in just 5 days. Petri Purho is from Helsinki, Finland currently studying computer science. Game development is simply a hobby!

Download the game here. And keep an eye out for the full version here.


Below is preview of what is to come in the Deluxe Version

Now you can Moer a taxi - Seriaas!

Everyone has a beef with taxi drivers. There are so many times when you just want to get out the car and let him (or her) 'have it,' whatever your version of 'have it' may be. But you know that it's probably not a very wise thing to do.

Now you can. Go to http://www.ilogic.co.za/taxi-wars.html and you can hoot your vuvuzela, smash the taxi with a golf club and use spray paint on the taxi along with a few other ways to vent your frustration.
I had to chuckle when I heard the response of the chairman of one of the Cape Town taxi associations on the radio yesterday. He was 'appalled' that such a violent game could be played online and was concerned that this could lead to real violence being perpetrated against taxi drivers. Please buddy,how do think a viral marketing company came up with the idea? I'm pretty sure that if all your drivers stuck to the speed limit (how fast you are allowed to go on the road and remain within the law), indicated when stopping and/or turning (using the little stick that used to be on the side of the steering wheel to activate the little orange lights that warn motorist of the impending action) and kept to the correct lanes (left of a yellow line is not actually the taxi lane), their brainstorming session would have led to a whole different creation. Furthermore, trust me, if we could we would have done this to your taxis a long time ago. Playing this game will not suddenly make us stupid enough risk our lives and trying to do something similar in the real world.

Eish!!

Note : The game is actually meant as a viral marketing campaign, but hey, maybe it's going to land up providing an important public service.

Update : Mzala @ Township vibe posted the following re: Taxi Wars : Website incite violence against the taxi men . Tried to leave the following comment unsuccessfully (the site was misbehaving)
Hey Mzala, you serious?
The moment I see someone blowing a vuvuzela at their unfriendly taxi driver, I will repeal both this comment & what I posted about the site a few days ago.

Hopefully they get to read this somehow.
