Dangerous Dave & Brutal Bob - Time Waster
Sometimes the best time waster is an extremely brief time waster. We like games that we can click to, have fun playing for five minutes, then leave with no regrets. Dangerous Dave & Brutal Bob fits the bill perfectly. This is yet another in a long line of catapult-style games where the object is to launch something as far as you can get it to go. In this case, Dangerous Dave is a guy riding a bike towards a cliff, and his "friend" Brutal Bob is standing near the edge of the cliff with a bat. The object of the game is to time Bob's swing to blast Dave off of his bike into the air, and see how far he can go.
During Dave's flight, he will bounce, possibly numerous times. There are small mounds on the ground and if Dave hits one, it will launch him back up into the air, extending his flight. There are also pads of dirt that will slow him to a stop almost instantly. So there's definitely a big luck factor in this game to see just how far you can get Dave to go.
Since the controls consist of clicking the mouse button once to get Dave riding, and another to initiate Bob's swing, this is a game you can play while eating lunch at your desk, or listening in on a boring conference call. Our best score so far is 674.5 meters - can you do better? Post your results in the comments!

First time, I got lucky and it went 904.1.
Then lots of 325-340.
Then I hit the jackpot and got all the way to 1125.3.
Couldn't beat that after that.

My highscore is so far 919,5. I really like the simplicity of this game, and oh so darn brutal ;)

The game is totally based on the luck of hitting those gopher guys. They may as well have just made a random number generator where you just click a button and your number pops up; the higher the number the better.
It's still fun for 5-10 minutes. Must be the animation.
