Zwingo - Today's Time Waster
Today's Time Waster is one of those very simple looking games that features some key mechanics that make it quite, shall we say, addictive? Zwingo is a game that revolves around some basic physics of balls or spheres and how they bounce off of each other.Essentially the game is like playing billiards except your cue is a rubber band tied to a white ball that you use to protect a larger white ball from small black balls trying to attack it. Okay, it's not like playing billiards, but the ball-to-ball dynamics are similar. The rubber band is practically tied to your mouse cursor, so as you move it around it causes tension to which your ball reacts. You then maneuver your ball so as to interfere with the black balls that are trying to ring out the ball you are protecting. Or something like that - it makes much more sense once you try it.
As you progress through the levels, you can get upgrades such as extra speed or size, which affect the way the balls bounce off of each other. You can also expand the zone that your main ball is in as to make it easier to defend. Naturally, as the levels progress, the numbers of enemies increase, including occasional boss rounds. All in all, Zwingo is just what the doctor ordered for when you need some time removed from your day.
