Just a Little Game to Busy Your Mind

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I'm just sitting there bored, waiting for a book or movie to download, waiting for a webpage to load, or just waiting for a phone call. I hate just sitting there, but really don't want to do anything sometimes...so I play a little game called Finger Panic.

This game is free and so very simple. It doesn't have any instructions, so you have to either do trial and error or...well, read my post about it, because I'm going to give you a few hints about the game.

First of all, you are placed at random in a five by five square grid. You are trying to find the orbs (I call them orbs, they are just a sound, really. The creators call them crackerjacks). Every time you get an orb, the timer speeds up. It doesn't tell you how long you have left, which means you can't panic at the last second, so just play every second as if it is your last!

Now, a hint. When you run into a wall, it gives you a boom sound. Find a corner, where the boom sound is on two sides when you try to go in those directions. From there, scan the rows back and forth by hitting an arrow key four times one way, over the next way, and on. For example, I might start in the bottom left corner. I go up four times, right once, down four times, right once, up four times, etc. until I get to the far side. Then I like to switch it up, left four times, down once, right four times, etc. You have to be very fast to get many. My high score of yet is 700 (you get 50 points for each orb you collect, so that's 14 orbs).

The game can be found at BSC Games.

enjoy!
