Geddon It!
Block the Laser – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace – Trailer
[singlepic id=6608 w=320 h=240 float=center]
Block the Laser is a puzzle game. The aim is to reach the exit by disabling lasers which block your path. You do this by stepping on the floor buttons to turn the lasers off or on. The lasers block your immediate path so you must plan ahead and turn lasers on or off in order to proceed. Later levels have mirrors and doorways to reflect or block the lasers, adding to the challenge. A nicely put together game with decent graphics. This game should keep you busy for a while and at 80 :MSPoints: you should check it out.
Pixelbit Helicopter Challenge – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace – Trailer
[singlepic id=6619 w=320 h=240 float=center]
I am possibly the worlds worst aircraft pilot which is why the game footage in the video is very quick, but do not let that put you off a fun game. The aim is to fly the toy helicopter around the room to complete the objectives which includes collecting stars, shooting targets and activating touch pads. This game was not for me, but if you like flying helicopters you should definitely give this a go as it seems to be good fun!
Them Blockz – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace – Trailer
[singlepic id=6623 w=320 h=240 float=center]
Them Blockz is a puzzle game where the aim is to push blocks into a zone to complete the level. You move the blocks by them sticking to your block and they remain stuck until you get them into their zone. Sticking the block on the wrong side or you block can mean you are unable to move past walls or blocks so careful planning is required to ensure you get the right side. There are 42 levels so this should keep you busy for a while, nice game!
