Rock Lighter

by Jason Clarke Sep 5th 2007

Ahh, the days before cell phones. It used to be that when your favorite rock band broke into their heart-wrenching power ballads, everyone would pull out their lighters and wave them above their heads. These days, the beautiful warm glow of actual fire has been replaced by the cold, hard glow of cell phone screens.

Well it's time to stand up and fight fire using fire. Or, something like that. If waving your cell phone over your head just doesn't feel as good as burning your fingers by holding your lighter's flame on for a 6 minute song, consider navigating your phone's browser to Rock Lighter. There you will find the last flickering flame of yester-year, immortalized in all of its digital glory.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
