Play This: Fault Line

Remember those old Mad magazine fold-ins where you fold the sections on the page together to reveal a hidden image? Nitrome’s puzzle platformer Fault Line uses that folding technique at the core of its fun gameplay.

You play as a little robot who needs to reach the the exit of each level. In between you and the purple teleportation pad is a series of obstacles, which can be overcome by folding parts of the level together. You do this by joining nodes together with your awesome detachable arms.

It’s fun, puzzling, and totally beats working on Monday mornings. Play Fault Line.

Magneboy and the Laws of Attraction

The only reason I would stop playing today’s timewaster is this one – to tell you about it ;-) Created by UK-based game house Nitrome, Magneboy is an sliding-block puzzler where you play as an uber-cute clockwork robot who uses its powers of magnetism to cross chasms, create bridges, and shuffle past various obstacles, ultimately to get to the end of each level.

I don’t think it was designed to be difficult – I managed to get to level 26 without too much trouble. Considering that a dead flea has a better sense of direction than I do, it’s safe to say that the learning curve here isn’t too steep. Great music and a retro pixel art design complete the really cool package that Magneboy is.

Play the 50 levels of awesomeness at Nitrome and let us know how you got along.
