Level 26: Hammer Heads
Hammer Heads is a whole lot like a computerized Whack-A-Mole.
the idea is to whack the gnomes that are trying to take over your garden. The guy takes one hit, but the girl, Wacky, takes two.
The idea is simple enough, but you get extra points for having perfect accuracy.
This game requires you to download the trial […]

Level 25: Avatar Four Nation Tournament
My confession: I watch cartoons. One cartoon, really, and I’ve only been watching it a short time. The show is Avatar: The Last Airbender, which (long story short) is about this kid who has to master the elements to save the world. Even worse? It’s “American anime”, whatever that means.
I love the show, so I […]

Level 24: Aloha Tripeaks
Here’s why I like card games: I know what I’m in for, I there are almost never wacky rules or strange glitches in the games, and they load and play quickly. This is why Aloha Tripeaks is good for me.
It’s your basic tripeaks card game but with a more attractive layout. Plus, it’s lucky. I […]

Level 23: Stinkoman 20X6
I’ve spent an embarrassingly large amount of time at Homestarrunner in the last five years or so, since I discovered it at Smith, but I’ve never before seen this game.
StinkoMan is a character from one of the Stronbad emails and after “puncha-puncha-puncha-ing” a tall robot, he decides to go home.
Sounds like an easy task, but […]

Level 22: The Bar
The Bar is another one of those escape games we know I love so well. Here’s the twist: I had no effing idea what I was doing while I played. Which means, I guess, that the complexity was up there?
The first thing you see is an explanation of the bar, and of the bar owner’s […]
Level 21: Centipede
Now, to say that I remember playing Centipede would be a lie. I know it was an arcade game in te 70s (I think?) but the only time I remember playing it was on our first computer. It was part of a retro game pack my mom bought to relive her arcade days, I suppose.
This […]

Level 20: Hamunaptra
I had high hopes for Hamunaptra. I’ve seen The Mummy series. I loved egyptology in elementary school. Heck, I could even appreciate the simple run-and-jump formula.
Alas, Hamunaptra did not measure up.
Like I said, I’m fine with running and jumping - some of the other games I’ve really enjoyed, like Zed, are simple formulas; run and […]
Level 19: Table Tennis
Table Tennis is and online version of the classic table tennis that my family used to play in our garage.
I wasn’t any good at the real-life one, and I’m not any good at this one, either. However, if you like the real life version, you’ll probably like this one.
Complexity:
Graphics:
Overall Effect: […]
The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
