Family Rush Walkthrough
Family Rush is a short and sweet little flash game. Beat it in about 30 minutes, pretty straightforward. All you need do is focus your hard earned coins on getting 3 Health upgrades first then all on the damage. It will be an easy win without much struggle. I didn't even need to max all the characters to win. Upgrade Daddy, Mother, Grandpa, Sparky and Grandma accordingly first. The Daddy and Grandpa are the only two mouse controlled characters, the rest all controlled by computer. So during the gameplay, try to shoot the enemies that appear first with your mouse controlled characters. These enemies will tend to do damage to your characters if you don't kill them within a certain number of seconds. And during boss fight, the boss can summon his creatures. Always clear these enemies first as they will soon cluster and do damage to your characters fairly quickly with no mercy. You will not have enough time to response after they start to attack you.

Fatal Fighters Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Fatal Fighters
Fatal Fighters Logo

Play Online: Fatal Fighters
Developer: Deqaf Studio
Genre: Puzzle, Strategy

Game Review
Deqaf Studios latest flash game is called Fatal Fighters! It serves up as a belend of match-3 puzzle and turn-based fighting game. Simple, yet solid! You choose from seven heroes each with unique special abilities, then face your opponent across a board with different coloured stones. Clicking a stone causes it and any other adjacent matching stones to be added to the percentage chance of the corresponding coloured skill. You have four moves to match your stones, then you can try to use the skills your character has available. The chance of success is tied to how many matching coloured tiles you accrued during your turn. Unused abilities will roll their percentage over to the next round, so don't feel like you have to risk a ten percent chance of success.

You will fight back and forth like this, whittling away at each other's defenses and hit points. Winning and you'll move on to your next foe. Outwit and out-battle your foes in the most dangerous, mortal combat. Only the the strongest the luckiest will survive this fatal tournament! If you collect enough achievements, you can unlock a totally different character. In my opinion the gameplay is really fun, although so far it hasn't been very challenging. I still enjoy it a lot!

I've noticed a lot of games coming up in the recent year with the concept of matching gemstones but Fatal Fighters took to a new levels with the option to keep your collected gemstones for the next round. This added a new level of strategy and I was really impressed! Keep up to good work! Very creative. Other games like this tend to be overly complicated, trying to do too much, but this only took a few minutes to understand. The sprite work is really nice and the music is cool.

Fatal Fighters Walkthrough
Keitaro
When playing Keitaro, you should try to end the match as quick as possible because he can be taken down within rounds. He is one of the best full attacking fighter however has no defending skills. He can do a raw damage of 48 damage per round which is the highest among all the fighters, and weakest fighter giving 11 armor His first ability is damage enemy 10-22 damage randomly and the second ability is destroy enemy's armor. Try go for attack and ability stones first then armor. His second ability is very good skill, but use only when the enemy has casted armor onto himself. Or else you are still wasting this ability potential. Good player will take good advantage of this skill.

Misty
Misty has quite a number of disables. His first ability deal 16 damage and remove 100% of enemy's attack. Second skill is disable enemy from attacking for one round. Both skills are very powerful. If you pull this combination correctly, you can almost disable your enemy from attacking you for almost 2 rounds, then you slowly charge up your combos again and repeat. This ability combo is good but take note that is if the fighter has ability that can do damage or reduce your skill points, you will need to stack armor first. Once you stack enough armor, you can slowly perform this overpower disable again and again.

Mythril
Mythril is not the best but is an average fighter in my opinion. He has pretty decent stats of 24 attack and 13 armor. His ability is kinda strong as removes enemy's armor by 100% and deal 16 damage when casted. Simply stack matching stones for the first ability and your attack to full 100%, then cast ability first and attack. It can hurt quite a bit especially those fighters with high armor such as potent. When you are low on health, cast your second ability to heal 11 HP. The heal is not a lot but it can sustain you on the match longer when the combos is right.

Potent
Some may debate this as the worst fighter, but i think this fighter is quite impressive and my favorite to be honest. His damage is only 19 and armor 18, second lowest damage but second highest armor. His abilities has synergy to its active attack and armor. His first ability deals damage to your armor, meaning the more armor you stack the stronger this ability is going to hurt. Normally, there are rounds where enemies don't attack, use this window to stack your armor. Then his second ability is increase chance of attack to 100%! This is equal to a free attack without fail. If you already successfully performed an attack earlier on, you can use this ability then attack enemy again. He can attack a total of 3 times in one turn! The damage is good but a little hard to use when your stones are not really good.

Hammer
Hammer is the only fighter which has the ability to gain two additional moves next round. This two moves is very beneficial if you aren't very good at matching stones. The two moves can significantly increase your chances of performing the skills later on. The stats of this fighter is above average, attack 20 armor 17. The first ability is the similar to Mythril's first ability but weaker; dealing 11 damage and reduce 50% armor only. Still, it is good to have!

Muzzle
Muzzle is kind of weak for his ability in my opinion. His first ability damage 8 to enemy and heal 8 to himself. This is very weak compared to the rest that do more damage or has better ability. Then his second ability remove one move from enemy next round, which means instead of 4 enemies now only have 3 moves to play with. I don't really love this skill as you have no control over what enemies is doing. Sometimes the enemies still can match the stones and combos you well enough to defeat you. I have the hardest time killing enemy using my attack and first ability.

Cutter
Cutter is a not bad if you want to unlock him. He has pretty standard stats 23 attack damage and 14 armor. The first ability bypass enemy armor and do 16 damage. Very good when enemies is stacking armor and the damage is decent. The second ability is randomly reduce enemy's skills points by a total of 150%. This is one awesome ability to have but there is one drawback... Enemies do not always have 150% skill points to let you reduce. Most of the time, I only get to reduce 40-60%. It is very hard to be in that situation where you get to reduce all 150%, this is one of the trouble i face using this fighter.

Tokimac
Tokimac is the last fighter in the Fatal Fighters. His stats is really low on the scale; 18 damage and 19 armor. The only fighter with better armor than attack. His abilities are pretty decent. The first one deal 7 damage and enemy cannot use armor in the next turn. This is one good ability to have to stop any fighter from gaining armor. Then the second ability is double your current attack; Double of 18 is 36! You will deal 36 raw damage to enemy. Not a bad ability to have but it is best to have your attack chances to at 100% before using this ability. Or you will rage if it fails to attack.

Help Fund My Computer And Expenses

Help Fund My Computer And Expenses Logo

Guys!

I need your help! Anyone who knows me knows I do a majority of my work on the computer and my laptop has already begun to show its age and struggles to work with me. I used them in Photoshop, Video Rendering & Gaming; These applications are very CPU & GPU consuming. Between random shutdowns, overheating and BSOD, my graphics card suddenly died on me as much as I wish it didn't. Without a computer now, it is going to be difficult to update and keep track my website. Replacement is my only option, and I need them badly.

I don't come from a very wealthy family, and I'm still serving my National Service in Singapore. Every month, I'm given an allowance of $480. This undeniably tight allowance is just enough to settle my monthly phone bills, transportation and food expenses. I do not have enough savings to get a new desktop which I need. If I could get a new computer, I am looking forward to do more than what I could do previously. Like I could start playing a wider range of games, which I can produce even newer and fresher contents & articles for the website. I can even try out streaming to reach a greater audience and build a community! I've done my research and planning. The money I raise will go towards my new computer which is going to cost about $1900. This new computer is expected to last me 3-4 years effectively and I pledge it will. The other $100 is to maintain my website's domain and subscription for Imageshack. Full breakdown is below:

Computer
- CPU & MOBO: $480
- Fan: $100
- GPU: $500
- RAM: $120
- HDD: $120

Doodle Brigade Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Doodle Brigade
Doodle Brigade Logo

Play Online: Doodle Brigade
Developer: Aleksander Suvak
Genre: Defense, Strategy

Game Review
Oh no! The Doodle Domain is under siege from hordes of the undead and other creatures. Repel the approaching zombies and monsters with a stick-army of your own, soldiers, full of snipers, bombers, mines and more. It's up to you to save the day in this fun tower defense game. As you progress through the levels, you will unlock newer and stronger units to aid you along the way. This is Aleksander Suvak's Doodle Brigade.

Certainly not the best tower defense game but one of the better ones on the internet. This flash game reminds me a lot of the legendary Plants vs. Zombie on first impression. If you're a fan of it, then you will love this version too. The lane-based tower defense is very familiar while still putting things in its own spin. One interesting feature is its degree of flexibility in customizing your field especially upgrades and enhancements for your units. Every offensive unit you place starts out on the field as a simple, basic soldier, with a slow rate of fire and a low damage output. As you progress, earning more "inks", you get to upgrade these units into one of four different paths, each with varying levels of power; Gunner, Shotgunner, Sniper, Bomber. You have to make choices and decide on their specialized roles as soon as things start getting messy. There is a few times where Sniper is better and effective than Gunner, and I restarted that level a few times. Once you chose the right strategy, you can bring out their full potential, which makes the individual units feel more valuable and encourages you to protect them better.

While Doodle Brigade is a rather short with 10 stages with endless mode, it is consider well done for such simple and addictive flash game. Slick graphics, easy control, great gameplay! I did enjoyed it right up until the 'final' stage. The game then brings in a whole new mechanic, the invincible eraser monster, that will quickly whittle down your defenses. Then the squid boss comes up, it's gameover every single time. Seems unfair but possible! Check out my guide below.

Vectagon Game Review

Vectagon
Vectagon Logo

Play Online: Vectagon
Developer: Ataxkt
Genre: Distance

Game Review
Vectagon is a fast paced twitch-heavy runner game crafted for the hardcore audience. This is one of those kind of games that makes your eyeballs feel like they're being forcibly twisted against your will while still in their sockets. According to its developer, been inspired by Rez, Dyad and F-Zero. Vectagon is a simple, engaging game. You'll go in thinking you'll play a short game, but soon find yourself repeating the same level at least a couple of dozen times, quickly jabbing at the screen to restart after cursing loudly from the ridiculous mistake you just made.

Vectagon is one of a rare breed of games, and what makes Vectagon such an addictive experience is its simplicity and incredibly difficulty. If you've played Super Hexagon, you understand the sort of game. You’re driving through a tunnel, and you have to move to the left and right to dodge walls that it throws up. As you go, more edges to the tunnel are added, and it gets much more difficult to manoeuvre the ship you’re in. The overall goal is to last as long as possible without getting crushed between two walls while you're zig-zagging your way through the endless tunnel. The controls are surprisingly responsive and silky smooth, but not my reaction time.

It can be frustrating and punishing for those who are not good enough, while rewarding those who master it with a supreme sense of satisfaction. But each playthrough is worth it though, as just breaking your own personal record by a second! It will test your reflexes, patience and endurance just to survive 20 seconds in the gentlest of its modes and possibly hours of training before you can go for a 30 seconds maybe? If you’re a fan of hard runner games, I recommend putting this on a watch list.

Castle Knight Walkthrough
Castle Knight is a mix of brawler flash game where you are running (on feet or horse), swing your sword or shoot arrows, take powerups from the princess, collect items from the flying pig and also you can hire helpers on the towers. The game progress quite slowly. But once you start upgrading your sword and other statistics, you are more badass than ever. For me, the first 7 waves were manageable, then I start buying Mage Helpers at wave 8 onwards. Comparing Archer and Mage Helper, I will almost go for Mage as it is designed to hit multiple enemies while Archer is stronger at attacking single monster. It's an investment needed to clear waves faster before they cluster into one. These monsters clustering together can comes in one pack and can hit you real hard; You can dying really fast within seconds. My strategy is change to bow and weaken a few of them first before finishing them off with sword. Use your horse to move from one side to another side. Some may find it useless but the extra movement speed helps me quite a bit. Good luck!

Air War 1941 Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Air War 1941
Air War 1941 Logo

Play Online: Air War 1941
Developer: Daniil Naletov
Genre: Shooter

Game Review
The open skies are your battlefield in this scrolling shooter game. Pilot your fighter plane in Air War 1941 as you engage enemy aircraft in thrilling dog fights, and do everything to control your jet plane. This is a real war, so you must be very attentive and careful; One mistake, and you are dead! Collect coins and medals which you can use to upgrade your plane with new weapons and abilities. win the battle for air superiority.

Air War 1941 is pretty challenging game featuring 10 increasingly challenging levels, I have to admit. This was pretty good for the most part. The controls were smooth and the artwork was good for what it was trying to go for. My only real complaint is the amount of enemies. If this was trying to be a bullet hell game, then I would suggest redoing the coin system, so that they are dropped most by enemies and not the other way around. Or at least add a survival feature and more upgrades. Currently, you spend more time dodging bullets than killing planes because your attack isn't sufficient enough. Other than that, a good game you can complete in less than half hour.

Air War 1941 Guide
List of Upgrades in Air War 1941
Weapon - Increase the number of bullets at the shot.
Cost: 0 / 70 / 450 / 800
Life - Adds a unit of health.
Cost: 0 / 120 / 300 / 450
Regeneration - Health restores faster.
Cost: 0 / 20 / 80 / 120
Explosion - Bullets scatter around the unit.
Cost: 0 / 100 / 250 / 500
Rocket - Shooting missiles at enemies.
Cost: 0 / 100 / 250 / 500

Recommended Build for Air War 1941
1. Regeneration
2. Weapon
3. Explosion
4. Rocket
5. Life
6. Repeat! :D

Air War 1941 Walkthrough
Air War 1941 is mostly about dodging enemy's bullets and then finish off the planes with your bullets. It can be quite challenging at times until you get some upgrades, especially once you've gotten Explosion and Rocket upgrades! The game should start feeling a little manageable and easier to complete. Try to spam your explosions as frequent as possible because it has low cooldown. For rockets, I will save it when there is a cluster of planes you can't handle. It's important that you pick up all the powerups, but do not be over excited and soak up too much damage. It is not worth it and die! It just wasting your effort. Slowly and steady, keep a good lookout for bullets then pick up the powerups.

Attack of the Elemental Walkthrough
In Attack of the Elemental, tower and monster have elements; Neutral, Fire, Water, and Earth. Each element has weakness against other element. Any element against neutral will deal 100% daamge. Fire against Earth is 150%, but Earth against Fire is 50%. Earth against Water is 150%, but Water against Earth is 50%. Earth against Fire is 150%, but Fire against Water is 50%. Same element will deal 75% damage. It's better to build a tower that is elementally stronger than the monster element. This is the best way to complete this online flash game. Once you reached stage 6 and above, it is best to build one Brightwick Tower to buff all your towers, as it gives 30% attack speed and damage. It may not seems like a lot of stats added, but it's super effective if all towers received the buff.

Don't Escape 2: The Outbreak Guide
Don't Escape 2: The Outbreak Walkthrough
The Base
1. Travel to the far left of the base to grab the shovel.
2. Exit the house and grab both the house keys and the wire from the dumpster.
3. Head into the alley beside the house in order to grab the bullet wedged into the wall and the wire cutters stuck into the ground.
4. Exit the base by exiting through the broken fence into the woods. In order to be most efficient with time spending, start by heading to the bottom-right location (-10 minutes).

The Church
1. Grab the axe stuck in the stump on the bottom right.
2. Take the bullet lying on the ground. The little bastard can be found on the ground left of the third fence post from the church. Because it is barely noticeable, it is best to use the description that appears on the bottom-left of the screen to properly locate it.
3. With no other use for the church, now exit and head to the top-right location (-10 minutes).

The Gas Station
1. Take the bullet and the bullet and empty fuel canister from the front of the gas station.
2. Enter the gas station, and loot the cash register and the medical kit for a coin and painkillers.
3. From the shelf, take some batteries and a water bottle.
4. Enter the backroom of the gas station using the axe from the church.
5. Take the room's bullet and rubber hose.
6. Exit the gas station and walk over to the top-left location (-10 minutes).

The Shop
1. Insert your coin from the gas station into the shopping cart. Now you can carry heavy items!
2. Using the shopping cart, grab the reel of metal by the fence.
3. Talk to Jeremy, the blonde man on the right side of the screen. He will provide you information about his lost glasses. You can trust him about his repayment.
4. Enter the shop, take both the bottle of alcohol and the battery-less camera form the store's shelves.
5. Notice the hole in the shop with the growling noises? Upon clicking on it, you'll find a trapped zombie and Jeremy's glasses. You have a bullet saved for him.
6. Power the camera using the batteries from the gas station. Then, take a picture of the child's drawing outside the shop. There is a man who may want this...
6. Now exit the shop to head over to the last unidentified location, the crash site (-10 minutes).

The Crash Site
1. Grab the 9mm handheld gun form the ground near the police car for our zombie buddies.
2. Attach the rubber hose from the gas station onto the police car's fuel tank and collect it using the empty fuel cannister. Now its full!
3. Do not bother with the sticks from the bush, they will only hinder you. Now, make the return to the shop (-10 minutes).

The Shop Revisited
1. Head into the shop to your trapped zombie friend and load your gun with your four bullets.
2. Deal him quick justice (+5 zombies) and grab Jeremy's glasses.
3. Head outside the shop and hand Jeremy his glasses. Now you have his willing support (+1 friend).
4. Make the final visit to the church (-20 mins).

The Church Revisited
1. Using the trolley from the shop, fill it up with the bag of cement and the pile of bricks. Now you can barricade your base's windows!
2. Head inside the church, to find a lonely, depressed man on the left. Remedy this with your photo from the shops. Now Father Bernard has joined your ranks (+1 friend).
3. Now with all support and supplies collected, time has come to defend your base. Head "home" (-10 mins).

The Base Revisited
1. Before starting any preparations, enslave our old accomplice Bill using the painkillers you grabbed from the shop. Do not hand him anything else for now.
2. Head out to the gate, and repair it by joining it up with the reel of metal from the shops. With help from your three friends, it should take 1 hour and 45 minutes (-1 hour and 45 minutes). Now you have your first line of defense (-15 zombies)!
3. Improve this by powering the generator with the fuel canister you collected from the police car at the crash site. Then, turn on and connect the generator to the fence with the pair of wires from the dumpster to electrify the fence (-5 zombies)!
4. Heading out to the front yard of the house, dig a pit trap with the shovel from the base for the zombies. With the help of your three friends, it will take 1 hour and 30 minutes (-1 hour and 30 mins). Now you have your second line of defense (-15 zombies)!
5. Head inside the house, and lock the door with the keys from the dumpster. Now you have your primary third line of defense (-10 zombies)!
6. Head into the room with Bill and add both the bottle of water from the gas station and the bag of cement from the church into the sand bucket.
7. Mix this to create mortar, and use the bricks form the church on the window, using it and the mortar to barricade it. With the help your your three friends, it will take 45 minutes (-45 minutes). Now you have your secondary third line defense built (-10 zombies). Now you have created all of the defenses, which in all will fend off 55 zombies in all!
8. Fulfil Bill's wish to have the bottle of alcohol, which will leave in intoxicated and unconscious. Now, slaughter him with the axe from the church (otherwise, he will prove his disloyalty during the attack). He was a zombie after all.
9. Head over to the far left of the base, where the locked hatch it located. Put the metal cutter from the base's alleyway to use, removing the stubborn padlock (can also be shot away, but will attract 5 more zombies).
10. Climb inside the hatch, with only Father Bernard, Jeremy, a shovel, a wire cutter, a full fuel canister, an axe, a shopping cart, a gun with three bullets, a pair of wires, and a key.
11. Shut the hatch, and start the attack, having 2 hours and 40 minutes left on the clock, by clicking on the clock in the inventory.

The Attack
The attack should end perfectly, with nobody harmed, and no zombies within the base. If the base were to be breached though, the hatch would fend off 5 zombies, the axe 1 zombie, and 1 zombie per bullet. All three of you will escape unharmed and the game will end.

Killing zombies could not have been more entertaining than this. They will approach you from all directions and will increase in numbers if you don't kill them with the first shot. With 24 levels you can collect a lot of experience points which you can use to increase damage, health, chance to critical hit, shooting speed and movement speed. To win this game, you just have to dodge and avoid getting chase by the zombies. Circle around randomly and bewares of clustering, do not be over zealous to collect the drops. From what I know, Plasma Guns and Plasma Rifle have pretty simple stats, but I prefer using Plasma Guns then Plasma Rifle. Plasma Guns seems to shoot more bullets than Plasma Rifle, that's how I feel, but you still can win with Plasma Rifle. Definitely no problem!

Pirates vs Undead Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Pirates vs Undead
Pirates vs Undead Logo

Play Online: Pirates vs Undead
Developer: Deqaf Studio
Genre: Action, Defense

Game Review
Pirates found a treasure map! Dangerous, scary island inhabited by strange creatures - Frankenstein, skeleton, a grandmother with a hatchet, a malicious clown, and many others! Break through hordes of undead to find the treasure! Basically, Pirates vs Undead is a row defense type of flash game. The game uses a lane-system where only certain enemies can walk on. You need to deploy your pirates on the same lane as enemy's. The objective is to survive 15 stages from the wave of undead and monsters. There are multiple rows in which the enemies will be coming from. You need to put a pirate or two in those lanes to fend off the invading enemies. You start off with 100 HP in every stage and there are a specific number of enemies that you need to fight per stage. Your goal is to make sure that your HP doesn’t drop to 0. If you fail to defend, you need to start the stage all over again.

You can choose from a plethora of pirates that you can unlock for a fee. The payment will come in the form of coins that you get depending on how well you did on a previous stage. Make sure to unlock all the pirates so that you can have diversity in your ranks. In order to use a pirate in a stage, they require some money to use. You can get money once you defeat every enemy you encounter. Your money will also rise every second that passes by, sending out each pirate has a different cost. The more expensive ones usually have stronger attacks and have sturdier builds. The enemies themselves are no push-overs especially the last 3 stages. The game does get harder as the stages gets farther which is just appropriate, so be prepared! The game is well-balanced and took me an hour or so to complete it. I enjoyed it!

Pirates vs Undead Walkthrough
Most levels were too easy, but the last three were pretty fun and challenging. You've pretty much gotta complete the game with what you got from the start to the end, meeting harder and harder enemies with the same weak characters. It doesn't matter if your pirates reach the end, you're not taking health from the other side. You have to kill the enemies to get the opposite side to zero. The proper tactic on how to win this game is best to have 1 or 2 ranged troops (depending on how good the opponent is) and 1 melee to tank the fight. If your tanker dies, replace him otherwise your ranged troops will die. Mostly because, ranged units can dish out tons of damage as long they dont get close to enemies. Otherwise, you are wasting your hard earned gold summoning all those pirates and then lose 10 health which is not worth it. During battle, try to spam your bottle as much as possible on harder enemies and boss. Bombs on clusters to make use of the AOE.

Break the Limits! Game Review

Break the Limits!
Break the Limits Logo

Play Online: Break the Limits!
Developer: Storm Alligator
Genre: Adventure

Game Review
You are trapped in a room and the only thing you can do is think. But what will you think about? Storm Alligator brings us Break the Limits! which is a short clicker game made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 31, theme on Entire Game on One Screen. In the beginning of this experimental incremental game all you can do is think, which is done by clicking, and which nets you thoughts. As you gather more thoughts, you can open up to more possibilities and a whole range of human emotions by spending these thoughts to gain memories, or find loneliness and many other ideas and feelings. A weird game, somehow sucks you in and makes you want to finish it like a hypnotising thing... Some of the noises were pretty alarming and creepy during the anger phase, and the feeling of building excitement and increasing happiness toward the end was palpable.

Normally I would feel wrong for loving a game like this, but he thought of controlling your own dreams is an amazing concept for a game. Everything is so charming and quirky! The mechanics work well to make it feel like I was progressing at my own pace. Break the Limits! isn't really an idle incremental game. Where most idle games take days of just being left up on your screen, this one can be finished in 10 minutes, give or take a few. I'm gonna say that this was about a person trying to wake someone else up from a coma. The person in green is someone talking beside the main character who is stuck inside his own head. The green person says "You squeezed my hand" at one point surprisingly and the ending line is "I can't believe it" implying the person in the coma woke up.

With a minimum artistic resources this game creates very powerful aesthetic effect. I think the idea - of a incremental idle game centred around managing personal thoughts and emotions deserves further elaboration in a bigger game. For what it is though, this game rightfully deserves praise and attention. I highly recommend playing it once!

Hacker's Escape Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Hacker's Escape
Hacker's Escape Logo

Play Online: Hacker's Escape
Developer: Pine Studio
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle

Game Review
Hacker's Escape is, as the title would imply, is an point and click escape game made by Pine Studio. I really enjoyed it. One of the better escape games. There are codes hidden around the room, but you'll find a lot of electronic equipment you'll need to put to good use if you ever want to find your way out. It took me trials and errors to figure out how to get a fingerprint to switch on a computer with a broken screen, which required a bit of logical thinking. I was also a little worried, because everyone complained about the math, but the hexadecimal is actually not too difficult if you just look at the example on the paper and follow that exact same pattern. This one make you think, and everything makes sense. Then, the last puzzle equation was surprisingly simple yet a little daunting at first. Once I figured out how it moved and using the objects I enjoyed it and finished without any help. No random clicks to find abstract objects in this one, you actually have to find objects that must be used together in a realistic way. And the text gives you some idea of what needs to be done with various things. Overall, I will say it is pretty challenging for those who seldom play this type of escape games. Smooth graphics and progression! A must try, it's free for iOS and Android, download the game if you are using a smart phone now.

In drmzzz Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

In drmzzz
In drmzzz Logo

Play Online: In drmzzz
Developer: Bart Bonte
Genre: Puzzle

Game Review
In drmzzz is a point-and-click game created by Bart Bonte for the Nitrome Jam, under the theme "dreams". The game takes place in two areas and was created as a much shorter and simpler online flash game. One in a bedroom, and another in outer space. In drmzzz's gameplay is presented as one continuous flow, without the division of levels. The player uses their mouse to click on different objects, which can affect their behaviour on screen. The mouse cursor's movement can also have an influence on certain objects such as the alarm clock.

The game was easy to live with, it didn't give me frustration and it was simple. Loved the music and simplicity, quickly introducing new 'mechanics' or tasks without telling the player, but remaining simple and not challenging. This game is incredibly and adorably imaginative, a guy who falls asleep and dreams about colourful worms poking themselves out planets, what's not to love? Easily one of my favourite 5-minutes flash game.

In drmzzz Guide
Solutions to In drmzzz
- Click on a humanoid egg-shaped child's eyes to make him fall asleep.
- Click the z's peering out on the far left sides of the screen.
- Then once a small creature identical to the child climbs into the alarm clock, the player must click the alarm clock three times.
- The child temporarily opens its eyes and the player must click its eye to close it again.
- Keep their cursor over the alarm clock to make it rise into the air.
- The scenery will then change to that of space with one asteroid partly seen in the foreground and another in the background. A worm-like creature will pop out of one of the holes in the asteroid and the player is required to click it to make it move to the asteroid in the foreground.
- Once the player clicks the worm-like creature in the foreground, it will pop back up and cause several other identical creatures of different colours to appear in the holes of the asteroid in the background. Click the worm in the background asteroid till they turn yellow like the worms in the foreground.
- Once this is done, the worms will disappear and instead the worm in the foreground will begin to fly in the air. The player can make the worms change directions by a click of the mouse and should direct the creature into the various stars that appear.
- Once all stars are collected, several different coloured stars will appear as well as several other worms along with them. By clicking again, the player should direct all of the worms into the stars that match their colour. It is easier to focus on one worm at a time then all of them at once.
- Upon all stars being collected, the game will end with the child awakening.

How To Be a Gamer: Playing Flash Games

Playing Flash Games
Flash games are interactive media created for online and mobile applications using the Adobe-owned, Macromedia-developed Flash software. Originally developed as an animation program, programmers and artists began using Flash to create interactive games using its proprietary ActionScript code. Flash games range from action/adventure, role-playing, simulations, 2D side-scrollers, and puzzle games, to 3D first-person shooters and massive multiplayer (MMOs). There are tens of thousands of games available across the web, and the applications are boundless for developers. With free online Flash games and even online casino gaming, players are able to enjoy a plethora of unique titles, many with professional production values; solid graphics and sound, engaging storylines and gameplay, simple interfaces, and high replay value. Many of the Flash games are based on popular existing titles as well, and are as addictive as their console, arcade, and PC counterparts.

These days, as more consumers are spending more time online, Flash games are easily accessible online and well integrated on mobile peripherals too. With many of the games being available for free downloads and/or instant play, which do not require any client software to be installed apart from a web browser or browser plug-in. In some cases a game may be free, but charge for extra in-game features. Multiplayer browser games have an additional focus on social interaction, either between several players or on a massive scale. Due to the accessibility of flash games, they are often played in more frequent, shorter sessions compared to traditional computer games.

Don't you just hate it when you find a game that looks so interesting but you can't play it unless you download it first?Since flash games run isolated from hardware in a web browser, they can run on many different operating systems without having to be ported to each platform. Most flash games are less graphically intensive and thus have lower system requirements because they are designed to be played on a wider range of systems and devices. There are thousands of flash games available today; many are completely new and waiting to be played, while others are classic games re-made as browser games; Pac-Man is an example of a classic game and now available as a browser game.

Flash games are worth playing and exploring for those gamers interested in shorter and satisfying gameplay. You will be surprised by how much these games can offer once you tried it; one example is Candy Crush. You can play it on Facebook running Flash software and it is a success with 100 million players now. There are more on the list which I will skip... The list is almost endless. Trust me, you won't regret trying out a few flash games!

Mad Burger 3 Walkthrough
The best in Mad Burger 3 is you get to build a better burger, yet the worst is actually building the burger itself. Here is the burger cooking order: Tobasco, Chilli, Lettuce, Meat Patty, Pepper, Ketchup, Cheese, Mayonaise, Tomato, Gherkins, Mushrooms, Mustard, Onions, Red Peppers and Wasabi. When you're making the burger, place it close to the middle and wait and line it up with the line on the saloon doors. You'll get around 90% every drop when you get used to it. Also, pay close attention to where the "center" of the bottles are when you pour. If you mess up, press the refresh button in the top left to redo without fully making the burger. I also discover during mid-game. The best way to make money is to ride the bottom of the screen (not bouncing, hovering with short bursts of sauce) and mow people down. You get $30 per hit.

Pro-Tip: Want to make the perfect burger? No movement, no problem. Right click and then double click where you think the middle should be.

Mad Burger 2 Walkthrough
Mad Burger 2 is very similar to Mad Burger, it gets progressively easier each round as you start to purchase more and more upgrades. I use almost the same technique as the previous to win the game; basically, keep your burger low to the ground. A lot of the powerups give you more speed, but I'm spending most of my time near the campers. I feel like it's a lot harder to get vertical this time round, especially since the launch is also pretty low. The clowns sometimes they barely help at all, while other times they are "okay". The challenge is there, even after I had bought all of the upgrades, I still had to rely way too much on luck to reach the end. However, I believe you guys can make it pretty easily with this guide. :D

Pre-Civilization: Bronze Age Walkthrough
Notes
- You can ignore risk for at least most of the first age which means have no guards if you have population space, growth is much more important.
- When someone attack you, the color decides what you should do. If it is Green, choose that option. Red is low odds of success. Yellow is half way. Enemy Army Strength; If it is green and you choose to fight and get 10% bonus to Strength. Enemy Leader Cunning; If it is green and you choose to cheat. There is no bonus or loss most of the time. Lastly, choose Flee if both are red and you can't afford to lose people.
- At the start you actually want to be attacked. That way you get to fight and get the +10% strength from battle experience over and over while you're still in the first age. That added strength lets you keep people off guard duty in the later ages so winning becomes much easier.
- Cheat dumb enemies when you can, as it results in no loss, which is quite precious in the later dynasty.
- Despite the above tip, its actually pretty safe to have risk up to around 25-35%.
- The strength of your guards has nothing to do with neither the stats of enemies, nor your odds of winning a fight against enemies.
- Don't bother getting fishing. I'm not sure if it gets better than farming for a per worker rate, but you can grow fast enough without fishing. However especially useful until after you've beaten the game.
- Other than that, victory rides heavily on luck, so one of the only ways to get victory is keep trying and hope for better luck.

Strategy
The first tech you should get is the Primitive Animal Breeding. After some experimentation, focusing exclusively on animal farming seems to work best. I suggest you best is to gnore the fishing and farming routes. Farming is only useful when you need to earn extra food and to unlock the pyramid upgrade & the city planning upgrade. While fishing gives the most food per person, focusing on it gives you a slow start, and its max workers increases too slowly.

The next most important thing to population growth is cultural growth for technology, but you don't unlock the Monotheism, so you'll have to make due with getting Mudbrick Construction next for a higher population cap. Continue to focus on breeding, put all your man onto animal breeding. Build Mudbrick houses as soon as possible. Once you going to hit around 4000 years B.C., unlock Advance Stone Tools and Mining quickly! This will allow you have a smooth transition to the next dynasty, becuase you will need Brickstone Construction to increase your population. Wisely investing your points into Bread and Trade whenever you can.

Trade adds 20% to culture and production growth and the ability to build marketplace. Marketplace also add another 20% to culture and production growth which is absolutely helping because you will soon going to focus on production growth. Starting production early can be the difference between victory and failure, but do not overdo it. By the time you reach the final age, you have enough population to start mega-focusing on production. Switch your massive population into production and whip out the pyramid in a matter of turns.

How To Be a Gamer: Securing Your Accounts

Securing Your Accounts
The reality is that, on the whole, security for gamers and gaming isn’t all that different than best practices for normal online, social networking activities. You need to maintain strong passwords and be careful about the where you place your information.

Like anyone else online, gamers are the victims of data breaches, account takeovers, and various social engineering and phishing scams, but they also have the added anxiety of protecting game-specific characters and profiles, which can be occasionally wiped out by bugs, external applications and other malicious actions. Gamers should be very careful about people who claim to be moderators or enforcers asking for login credentials and claiming that an account has had complaints filed against it and is being locked out. Finally gamers should be skeptical of anyone or thing offering free prizes or credits that are often the parts of a larger scam.

GOOD SECURITY PRACTICES
CHOOSE A SECURE PASSWORD!
- Your password should not contain words from any dictionary; this includes words spelled backwards. Dictionaries are often used to generate a list of possible passwords from common words and terms.
- Use a combination of letters, numbers, special characters, spaces and capitalization but keep in mind that their distribution is also very important. For example, "qwerty123" is not very secure, but "t0n1htXp3c1al" is extremely difficult to guess.
- The longer the password, the less the chances that someone may be able to guess it. We recommend that you create a password that uses as many characters as possible.
- Many programs can detect common number/letter replacements (e.g. 5 for an S, 3 for an E, 1 for an I etc.) so try and avoid these when creating your password. Also try to avoid using keyboard sequences (e.g. 1234, qwert, zxasqw, asdasd, etc.) as these are commonly used to create passwords and are therefore often used by “Brute Force” programs.
- We recommend that you do not use your account name or summoner name in your password, as if it is followed by numbers, special characters or other words it will make it easier to guess. Finally try to use a unique password that is different from any of your other passwords (email account, social media websites, online bank account, other online game accounts, etc).

KEEP YOUR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE ACTIVE AND UPDATED!
- Antivirus software helps you fight against viruses and other malicious third party programs (i.e. key-loggers and Trojans).
- Computer viruses are software programs that are deliberately designed to interfere with computer operation; record, corrupt, or delete data; or spread themselves to other computers and throughout the Internet.
- You must update your antivirus software regularly, to help prevent the most current viruses. You can set up most types of antivirus software to update automatically.
- Protection from spam. Spam is incredibly annoying when you're bombarded with emails and ads that you have no interest in whatsoever. What many people do not realize is that if you're bombarded with spam that seems to come from nowhere every time you log in, that spam is most likely the result of a virus stored on your computer.
- Live your Antivirus software run 24/7.

UNCHECK REMEMBER PASSWORD AND CLEAR DATA
- Turn off the checkbox "Remember Me" when accessing a game or websites. When using a shared computer, anyone who has access to the same desktop session also will be able to automatically log in using your credentials.
- There is also risk that if somebody can steal a browser cookie, they can gain access to the site. And even that depends on what is being checked.
- Clear your data and wipe out all cookies and caches every time, you end your gaming session. This will protect your account to the fullest.

BAD SECURITY PRACTICES
DO NOT SHARE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION!
- You should not share your account with anyone, not even a friend or a family member.
- Some players might try to con you to believe they are the moderator of the game, and start asking for your account username and password. Absolutely do not give them! A moderator have no rights to ask the players for their account information.
- Account trading should be avoided as you will have no way to reverse the transaction if the deal goes bad. Also, since the original account owner will have knowledge of creation details, it is possible that they might even be able to recover the account via Player Support! Do not be tempted by dubious offers.
