It's crack I tell you. Legal, virtual crack. I'm so doomed.

It's all NPR's fault. Really. I heard an "All Tech Considered" segment driving home last night which piqued my curiosity, so I decided to check it out.

I'll tell you what it is below the whitespace, but don't you dare tell me that I never warned you.


























You ready?






















You sure? No turning back now....




























OK, here it is: Crayon Physics Deluxe (Watch the videos for examples of the 'gameplay')

My wife, who in the last 9 years has never, EVER played a computer game played this from 7:30pm to Midnight last night. I played it from 8:30 to 2 freaking AM this morning.

I hate it I hate it I hate it, and I'm never playing it ever again.

As soon as I beat just one more puzzle. :banghead:

The demo is free, and the full game is $20. With infinite replay value. I am so freaking hooked.

1. I heard that segment too.

Glad you brought it up because I forgot to go check it out. My hubby will love it.

3. This is scary

We keep showing up at the same places at the same time. I posted and didn't even realize you had posted also. Makes me think I should come visit... LOL! It's a SIGN!

[Nevilledog]

4. LOL

That is too funny. Looks like after all these years we still have the same way of thinking. Which is kinda scary all by itself.

Come visit! You're always welcome, you know that.

2. Well that is just WAY more fun

than anyone should be allowed to have! Thanks for sharing! I shall now get NO work, housework, etc. done ever again!

6. I dreamed crayons last night

That's just wrong.

[vard28]

14. I was right

I haven't moved from my recliner at this laptop since I downloaded the silly thing. Good thing RD jr knows how to reheat something for dinner. :rofl:

And now it's hard to tell WHEN I'll make it to my 1000th post here.

[Greyskye]

15. i WARNED you!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It's crayon crack! I'm going to have to set myself an alarm tonight so I go to bed at a decent hour. I've discovered that there's an iTouch app. If I download it, I may never do anything productive again! :scared:

5. I heard that segment and I'm afraid to try it for exactly the reason you describe.

I'm debating whether to tell my husband about it.

[Greyskye]

7. Do it.

But not until after he's taken out the garbage. :rofl:

[grace0418]

12. Oh, well, I just read it's pc only.

That leaves me out.

[Greyskye]

13. His blog says he plans to port it to Mac - iPhone/iTouch available now

Bookmark it and check back later. :D

And it's available in the iPhone aps store now as well, for $4.99.

8. that looks cool but I don't have a stylus

does it work without one?

[Greyskye]

9. Mouse works fine.

I'm sure that a stylus would allow greater ease of drawing, but a mouse works great.

A touchpad on the other hand, really bites for this, although it does work after a fashion.

Prepare to set aside some time. :hi:

[helderheid]

10. TOO COOL!!!

[gmoney]

11. Sadly, PC only...

oh well
