I got to level four on Ragdoll Invaders.

So far I've defeated 24/52 on Ragdoll Invaders (not sure what level that is) for a rank of "Cryptic Necromancer"... but mothership #25 has this circling laser beam thing that I wasn't up to adapting to.

That got me, too.

I find it helps to do 'dodging practice' - Just dodge, don't shoot back.

Yes, an interesting thing about the game, which fits the rag doll theme, is that the action follows what the player does, rather than the player driving the action directly. The player doesn't so much directly aim and blow away the enemy, as the body reacts to the player's movements, and so do the aliens react to the player's movements, and that is a path that can lead to easier success - you can not only predict but lead the opponent to leave room for your survival and their eventual defeat.

The rotating laser is just a different kind of pattern to incorporate, but having trained for one dance, I failed to shift to consistently deal with the new kind as well. Interesting though. When I want some more trance and flow therapy, I'll go back to it.

I had a few suspicions that they reacted to you, but only suspicions. Mostly, I use it to zone-out and zen.

Dino Run is pretty good, quite impressive within its limited genre. I like the mechanics of running and scrambling around. And I like that it is like a fantasy Intellivision game.

My current all-time favorite flash game: Chronotron. It's on AddictingGames.com. It's one of the most creative game ideas I've seen in a long time.

I'm afraid to look as I'm on a roll on my current project, but I will look when I want a distraction. Thanks.

Oh Chronotron! I have played it on Kongregate - they had it as a weekly challenge. Nice interesting and very clever game, though I'm not much into puzzle types, and I got frustrated getting interrupted. All writers for Doctor Who should be forced to play this.

Hehe...

I went and tried it because it was recommended here. It does force you to think. Coordinating your selves is the big challenge, although on some levels I couldn't even figure out what to do for a while. At level 11 I gave up because I just didn't want to try to figure out how to use the see-saw thing.
