Way of an Idea
“Way of an Idea” is an entertaining game that presents quite the conundrum – how do you hit Newton’s head with an apple and hopefully, give him a novel idea?
By drawing and erasing lines then playing back the resulting animation in real time, you can guide the apple to Newton’s head with the game’s cool gravity physics engine.
What makes this game challenging are the various obstacles and the limited pencil and eraser turns you have.
Hitting Newton’s head with an apple is trickier than you think!
Duck: Think Outside the Flock
This game puts all the ducks in a row and challenges you with mini-games of increasing difficulty.
There are hand-eye coordination tests, tricky “turn all the ducks” puzzles, “follow the duck” tracking games and more.
If you want a quacking challenge that can ruffle your feathers, try this game out!
Weigh the Wangdoodles
Weigh the Wangdoodles is a mathematical puzzler that will test your logical skills. In this game, you are asked to infer the weight of each “Wangdoodle” based on the mathematical equations it provides.
Although guessing the right weight of each Wangdoodle based on the limited information is difficult in itself, try not using a calculator for the ultimate challenge!
