Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled by a red-hooded princess, there lived a young wolf. Unlike the rest of his family, this wolf was neither very big nor particularly bad. His mother wasn't too pleased with this, but first morning he didn't hear her howl, the not-so-big, not-so-bad wolf knew something was wrong.

The graphic presentation is fairly simple, but this is a deceptively deep Dr. Mario-style puzzler with a unique color-matching mechanic. Whenever you make a match, you leave behind a ball of a new color, and your job is to work your way up to the top of the rainbow scale. This adds a lot more gameplay dimension than you'd expect, and once you get into it, you will be hooked, trying to make that last couple of levels. Definitely give Combine a chance.
Your job in Nosobow, the newest creation from Tonypa, is to eliminate the non-matching tiles from the screen, while clicking a member of a pair puts you in jeopardy of losing the game. Behind the brilliantly simple design lies a intricate psychological game of self-pacing and concentration that will have you groaning in anguish every time you have to start back at square one.
A sequel to Open Doors, one of the most interesting puzzle games of 2008, has arrived, with an arresting makeover and just the right amount of extra spice. Open Doors 2 features compact puzzles with just the right number of new doors and mechanical gizmos. With a sparkling presentation and superb level design, this is one of the best puzzlers we've seen so far this year.
Curse of the Pharaoh 2: Napoleon's Secret is a hidden-object game with added puzzle elements, such as spot-the-difference games. It's a direct sequel to Curse of the Pharaoh: Quest for Nefertiti and captures the same sense of adventure as the original, now in a new setting with all-new puzzles to solve.
What could be better than a game based on explosions? The goal is to get the yellow outlined cube to the bottom of the screen, and the only way to do it is by placing bombs in various locations and letting physics do the rest. The interesting part is how you can time the bombs to move blocks around the screen, one explosion after another.
Have you been wandering around in a haze since the first Perfect Balance, your heart crying out for the opportunity to wedge more things together? Do you miss the wedging like a starving shark misses bluefish? Then Perfect Balance: New Trials is here to offer you sweet, sweet, soul-crushing relief, in the form of 30 more levels of tough block stacking.
The vikings and the ice that trapped them have returned in an expansion on Nitrome's original physics-based puzzle game, Ice Breaker. Ice Breaker The Red Clan introduces lots of new obstacles to deal with strewn about an all-new set of levels. Vikings are trapped in the ice, walled-in by rock, or otherwise prevented from reaching the ship. Using your cursor as a cutting tool, it's your job to set them free. Manipulate each environment to provide a clear path from viking to ship and carve your way through 40 brand-new levels.
Another Room, by Japanese designer Mofuya, is a sweet, semi-short example of classic point-and-click that is executed with near-perfect competence. The game's puzzles are simple but well-crafted; while not wildly creative or different, they nonetheless offer a satisfying variety of problems to tackle. The room's neat, somewhat subdued appearance is pleasing to the eye and makes it simple to navigate the surroundings.
You remember Labyrinth, the board game where you turn knobs to roll a little steel ball to the exit, without hitting any holes along the way? Tilt is an example of the wooden labyrinth in 3D digital form, and an excellent one it is, too. Of course, one of the advantages of a digital version is the fact that the maze configuration does not have to stay static, and it certainly doesn't here. There are 66 different levels, many of them devilishly hard.
4 Elements combines classic puzzle matching gameplay with a hidden object game and just a dash of fairy tale fantasy for good measure. Help restore the power of the elements to protect the land from an evil power.
Back to the basics again with Kagi Nochi Tobira 2, the simple and original puzzle game sequel to the very well-received Kagi Nochi Tobira from September of last year. There's not much else to say other than the raw creativity and sense of discovery in these simple puzzle games create an exceptionally engaging and appealing experience. Another example of why simple ideas are often among the most fun!
50 Comedies asks you to identify the titles of fifty movies (of the comedic variety) based on visual puns. Despite some interface issues, we found ourselves addicted to the clever puzzles and the challenge to our cinemaphile sensibilites. Good for movie buffs, trivia toughs, and fans of fun, light-hearted stuffs.
If you celebrate Arbor Day and always thought a logic puzzle was just what the holiday needed, then Leaf Blight is for you. In this relaxing game, snip off the infected leaves in the correct order to keep your trees healthy and strong.
You're in a cell, seemingly with no chance of escape. But wait, what's this? A letter tucked into a chink in the wall. Apparently your captivity is due to one Simeon Meade, a member of the mysterious Talos Organization. He can't help you escape directly, but it is possible to unlock your door from inside the cell...
The player starts in the present day, but with a push of a button can be transported into the same room some indeterminable span of time into the past; press another button and the operation is reversed. Two separate, subtly different rooms to zoom between, each one affecting the other... interesting, no?
An engaging and easy new puzzle game from Joey Betz and the Super Flash Bros. Featuring 30 levels filled with blocks to push, switches to switch, creatures to avoid as you negotiate monkey to the goal for each level. Isometric perspective and a retro look give this little puzzler lots of charm and potential for fun.
The Serpent of Isis is a new hidden object game by Gamgo with some considerable mystery and adventure game elements added into the mix. Beneath the ever shifting sands of Egypt, untold treasures remain buried. These are the kinds of treasures that drive men mad, possessing the minds of the adventurous and luring explorers into catacombs that twist and writhe beneath ancient pyramids. The Serpent of Isis was just such a treasure, and your grandfather was just such an explorer.
A mash-up of casual gameplay from the match-3 and RPG genres, Knightfall plays like a cross between Mr. Driller, Same Game and Puzzle Quest. It's a well-balanced and well-executed game with a fun story mode and an unlimited purgatory mode to keep you coming back for more. Achievements add to the addictive quality that Knightfall will bestow upon you.
Planetarium is a story-puzzle in twelve weekly installments, into which is woven a fantastical fable and many marvelous puzzles. Follow the tale of the Mathemagician and a strange girl with no memory but perfect foresight, as they search for the source of a mysterious love letter sent from the future. Don't be surprised if this brilliant, unique and beautiful game soon becomes one of your favorites.
The idea, as always, is simple. Get the red ball (or square) to touch all the flags by drawing physical objects directly onto the screen with your crayon-like cursor. This sequel to Magic Pen features 32 more puzzling levels, all selectable from the moment you start the game, mostly set in various crayon-rendered versions of historical locations. The level designs feel a bit more intricate this time, with more on-screen obstacles and even a few moving contraptions to cope with. There are no major improvements to the formula, but such a childlike, pure idea doesn't need them. This is a heap more Magic Pen for everyone who loved it the first time. Enjoy.
Exploit is a tile-based puzzle game with a computer hacking theme from Gregory Weir, the creator of The Majesty of Colors and Bars of Black and White. Plot out your moves carefully and pay special attention to incoming emails, and not only will you help the oppressed people of Locha, but you might, just might, prevent a terrorist attack here on our own soil. Good luck, hacker, you're going to need it!
Enter the Kid's Room. You left your myPhone behind when visiting your friend's house, and he hid it in the kid's playroom. You go to get it, possibly to get away from your annoying myRobot for a while, but some prankster locks the door behind you when you enter. Of course. It is an excellent piece of work, with puzzles that make sense, fine 3D graphics, and just the right amount of satisfaction when you figure something out.
Tortuga Episode 2 is an escape-the-room game set on a pirate ship; the second installment of the Tortuga series. You have just escaped the locked room from episode 1 and the pirate is still sleeping off the sleepy spray you got him with prior to your escape, but you are still locked up on the pirate ship. You must look for items and clues to reveal a solution on how to get off the ship.
The writing's on the wall at The Glassworks Company for Kapowski, who just got fired for getting a little too creative at work. Now you've got to prove to your boss that you're capable of making it in the window-washing world with your new power gloves and a little high-flying daredeviling. Enter The Glassworks, the latest platforming experience from the talented crew at Nitrome.
The ray gun: time-honored weapon of choice for protection against baddies of all kinds. But if there's nothing to protect against, what good is it? Transmover, a puzzle platformer by Japanese game developers Polygon Gmen introduces a new function for your favorite hand-held emitter of energy: transmotion. In layman's terms, this simply means when you fire your gun at a block, you and the block switch places, a tactic that injects new life into the block-maneuvering platform genre.
In Ice Blast you take control of Skye, Luna, and Sun and destroy ice crystals to restore the world to its happy warm-like state. Using a fun puzzle/strategy layout reminiscent of The Lost Vikings, you must find the most efficient way to clear each field of ice to earn points and upgrade the girls' abilities.
Unwell Mel is a light-hearted and humorous match-3 puzzle game. In the grid comprised of Mel's organs (some of which are shaped like dogs and birds, which we'll assume is normal), click two adjacent pieces of food to swap them and form a line of three in a row to clear them. Thrown in with the food are medical packs, which can restore your power-ups, and bugs that, in some instances, actually help you clear away disease.
A short demo of a larger point-and-click adventure to be released in April, this is the latest by Gateway series creator Anders Gustafsson. It uses similar play mechanics to his previous games, and yet the graphical engine looks like it has received a complete makeover. A compelling teaser for the beautiful new world of adventure that Gustafsson has in store for us.
A game for anyone who loves tromping on bubble wrap, Popopop by Bad Viking offers you 42 puzzles of color combo popping action, plus a level editor and all the user-generated puzzles you could want. Just drag one of your starter bubbles into an empty space to burst all the adjacent bubbles of the same color, starting a chain reaction of popping that hopefully ends in obliterating all the bubbles on the screen. Special bubbles like needles and thunderclouds turn the game into a gauntlet of precision timing and mouse dexterity.
Spin-n-Match, by Jess Hansen, is a simple puzzle game that will torque your brain to its limits. On the left, you see a grid of jumbled up balls. On the right, you see your target formation. Your task is simple: Make the left look like the right by rotating 2x2 clusters, similar to Bejeweled Twist. You can try to simply beat all 40 levels, or you can go for the developer's target scores. Either way, Spin-n-Match is a nifty little puzzler that'll keep your head spinning. (Fifty bucks says you saw that coming.)
All room escape games have secrets. Some room escapes, however, keep their cards especially close to their chests, relinquishing their grasp bit by bit; these are sometimes the most frustrating, and often the most intriguing. Sagrario's Room is such a game, and a superb one at that.
Yoshio Ishii (Nekogames) has just released a sequel to his unique, if no frills, self-cooperative game, Cursor*10. The update, aptly named Cursor*10 2nd Session, offers a whole new set of levels with the premise and objective still the same: You're a cursor in a tower. You have to reach the 16th floor in 10 lives, but your lifespan is rather short. And not only that, all your previous lives are being replayed, in real time, at the same time as you play. You will have to think on your feet and use cunning and puzzle-solving prowess to get through all 16 levels before your lives (and time) run out.
Dreamsdwell Stories is a unique match-3 type puzzle game with some strategy game (as in the village building variety such as Totem Tribe or Westward III) elements that build into the experience. Wrapped in a package of crisp, sometimes beautiful, graphics and catchy theme music, the core of Dreamsdwell will have you enjoying the game for hours.
Boonka is a cute, kid-safe and surprisingly challenging puzzle game with unique gameplay that combines strategy, timing and satisfying explosions. A luscious green paradise has been invaded by Skours, nasty black clouds who cut down trees and turn the whole world grey, chasing away the adorable rainbow-coloured Boonkas and generally being total downers. The sage Bababoonka introduces you to each tree, and gently encourages you through the process of growing them from a stunted stump to a magnificent specimen of hardwood by doing what you do best: making color matches and blasting them skywards!
Exorbis 2, by Editundo, is a tile-based puzzle game about shunting orbs into targets. The clever thing is that your controls for doing so are tile blocks themselves. Arrow blocks come in pairs. By clicking on one, both move in that direction by one tile, taking any orbs between them along for the ride. 100 tricky levels and a level editor await you in this colorful and absorbing puzzle adventure.
An uncommonly lovely escape game that is also, for better and for worse, unusually difficult. We've come to expect great things from Place of Light; their previous games are both excellent and well-executed. With Room Marine, however, they have positively outdone themselves. While the difficulty of the game can be at times taxing, the reward is more than worth it; if you're a serious connoisseur of escape games, you're gonna love this one.
A uniquely engaging, captivating and relaxing puzzle game that will be both fresh and familiar every time you play since all levels and even the music for each level is randomly generated. Author Dan Russell-Pinson set out to create a game with wider appeal than the Tipping Point series of adventure games he is known for, and the game's redeeming qualities certainly don't end there.
A new addition to the Wonderland series, retro-themed isometric puzzle/adventure games that are of the best around. They retain the spirit of what makes the genre so enjoyable while adding new, more modern twists to the experience. Wonderland is threatened once again, only this time the quest to save the world goes terribly wrong. Shipwrecked and marooned on the shores of Fire Island, its your job to maneuver through sets of puzzle challenges and make your way to freedom.
Welcome to Mirror Image 101. We're going to start with the most basic of teleportation spells, the Mirror Jump. Everyone spread out, please. It's a very simple spell to use. Just stand up and use your scepter to draw a straight line perpendicular to your line of vision in the direction you want to warp, and at half the distance. Poof! You'll warp to the other side of that line! It's the latest from Nitrome; it's unique and it's sure to please.
Sentences is a word game by Pictogame that allows you to recreate famous sayings, combining familiar game elements into one fast-paced language-fest. Each of ten rounds tests your speed-typing, word-rearranging, or Hangman skills. There are 200 quotes to unlock, and each round has a bronze, silver, and gold medal score that require tremendous accuracy and speed. It's simple to play, tricky to master, and has a little bit of an educational edge. Give it a try.
Panda: Tactical Sniper 2 is a friendly-looking, cheery little sniping game where you're not actually expected to snipe people. You're going to have to think outside the box of bullets and shoot other objects in your environment to achieve your goals, and help Panda pull of a major fuzzy-wuzzy diamond heist. It's a quirky concept that will appeal more to fans of puzzle games than shooters, especially given the perky aesthetic, and it's definitely worth a look.

When I was a boy, I had a horse given to me by my father. And when I went away to school, I gave that horse to your father to care for. And, in three months, he let my horse die. (Long awkward pause) Louie, let me ask you something (holds up his middle finger as if giving Louie the finger) when man has intercourse with a prostitute, he covers his organ with protection (mimics the rolling on of a condom onto his middle finger) so the he won't catch her retchidness. He is acting in the interest of his family, so that he won't take it home to his wife. (Louie asks, "that's the question?") But, between a father and his son (mimics unrolling of condom off finger), there can be no separation. No boundary. A father calls, a son answers. A father beckons, a son comes! (still holding his middle finger in Louie's face) This is for life, Louie. For life!

Howdy and thank you for having me as a member of this very nice forum.
I am eagerly awaiting the birth of a litter of puppies in a nearby town and am hoping to bring home a nice little Sable boy around December. My husband was raised with German Shepherds throughout his childhood. I enjoy hearing his memories of the loyalty uniqueness of the GSD. I am the mommy to a young Sheltie named Bucky. Bucky wants a big brother and I can't wait to bring home his big bubby soon. I look forward to hanging out here, learning and asking questions. ~Sue |

Turned out my ex DF's new GF worked for my mum. That was fun. lol
I work with someone on here's mum. Perhaps that's not so much an Adelaide story, than an EB story. They don't know and I don't know who the mum is LOL - it was something they said like ' my mum works for that ....' And I work there too. #4Posted 20 December 2012 - 09:17 PM
My husband was adopted. I met him through his natural cousin.
Our dads worked at the same place when we were kids. When I met him my dad works with FILs close friend. Hubby used to compete in lifesaving. Coincidentally I spent my weekends watching them When my brother met his first wife she was the girl who looked after me (was a yr 7) when I first started primary school.

Mine's an "Australia is too small too" or more specifically, the Army.
My old neighbour, lived across the road on the RAAF Base in Darwin, now works/drinks with a guy that i was friends with in high school (Kempsey) and they are both now living in Townsville. #7Posted 21 December 2012 - 08:38 AM

This is an 'Australia is too small' story.
I met my husband through RSVP. We'd been dating a few months when we realised our his father and my mother worked at the same place during the same time period. Turns out they were buddy-buddy co-workers and knew each other well. Unfortunately for FIL, a bunch of lies he told ended up being exposed because of this. #9Posted 21 December 2012 - 08:59 AM QUOTE (mummasaurus @ 21/12/2012, 09:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine are Adelaide, EB and this thread are too small 'stories'!

This might lead to an EB is too small moment if my friend is also a member...
However, my friend had a 'world too small moment' recently when she figured out the guy who had recently started working with her husband, was a guy she had dated 12 years ago. Fair enough perhaps, except he was Canadian. She's from England. They dated (briefly) in the UK then soon after the relationship ended she met her Aussie now-DH and moved to Australia. At some point this other guy met his Aussie now-wife and moved to the same city in Australia. Extra weird bit - both couples have daughters with the same first name! #11Posted 21 December 2012 - 09:14 AM QUOTE (**Mel** @ 21/12/2012, 09:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh cool.

He was in the Stella room when he was attending in May/June. He loved it as well but we, uh, had some 'issues' so I discontinued his enrollment. It was a pity, his primary carer was awesome. #12Posted 21 December 2012 - 09:30 AM

When I was 9 (in 1981) I went to a very small country nsw steiner school, there were less than 30 students.
Last year I was at a family gathering of my husband's family in Melbourne. His cousin (one of 6 in that generation of the family), who lives in Melbourne was there with his fiancee. Who was one of the other students at that tiny school 30 years before. What are the odds that two boys out of six would end up with girls from that tiny group? #14Posted 21 December 2012 - 09:50 AM
Only "small" stories here are bumping in to FIL/SMIL not once, but twice, just running random errands. Once was at a Spotlight in Noarlunga. Once was at Myer on Rundle Mall. The thing is, we live in the rather far NE suburbs and they live in Kangarilla. So, really, chances are kinda slim we'd wind up at the same stores
I think husband runs into his various family members a lot, but they all work in public services of some sort (police, nursing homes, hospitals, water company, etc) and his job takes him to a lot of their workplaces hehe. But I've lived in towns where the post office was the size of a closet and the population was, in one place, me, dad, the landlords, and two neighbors. So this is NOT that small Nor is it that big. #15Posted 21 December 2012 - 10:46 AM
When we first moved here 2.5 years ago, we went to the Philippines when Xavier was only like 3 week old. He had been in the news for being the biggest baby born at the hospital. We were in a play room at Kuala Lumpur airport and a couple with a couple of kids recognized him and chatted to us for a while.
The same family 2 years later came up to us and said hi as they are now at the same little athletics club as us. My kids go to athletics 45 minutes away, so we don't live in the same area. I work 30 minutes from here, 2 doors down is one of the other 9 RNs who work at my work. One of the ENs children was in the same class as one of my children.

Adelaide, one giant country town. Its kinda scary at times lol
Most memorable was a a friend went out for new year, I had stayed home as I was already plasterd. Around 2am she calls me to say she put her friend in a taxi and sending her to ours. This chick had flipped out, was crying in my ex's lap (who was there and by chance ran into my friend, she attatched to him) Taxi pulls up and out she gets, we go sit down start chatting and realise that in highschool (other side of town to) we used to hang out, were rather close then to and some same classes together. She ended up dating my ex for almost 3 years after that night. #17Posted 21 December 2012 - 11:34 PM QUOTE (mummasaurus @ 21/12/2012, 09:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine are Adelaide, EB and this thread are too small 'stories'!

Despite being an Adelaide girl, mine is a "World too small" story.
In Year 9 my family went on a bus tour of the South Island of NZ. We pulled up to a random look out somewhere and in the car next to us was a girl in my year at school on a self-drive holiday with her family. She also did my wedding hair a few years later. #20Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:29 AM
After my boys were born prematurely, they had 100 days in WCH, during which time I was able to attend some multiple birth antenatal classes WCH offers.
IN the class of 7 couples, 3 of us females went to the same High School within a year of each other. The High School was a rural one, too, 2 hours from Adelaide. #21Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:40 AM
A work colleague (that I previously worked with from 1989-1992) said to me "Oh you'll never guess who I ran into!" and then named a guy we'd worked with at the same time. A week or so later he came into work and said to my colleague "Hey, I saw an ex-workmate of ours when I was dropping my daughter off to kindy" and then described me. Not not only are we all in the same area after originally working 4 or 5 suburbs away, he recognized me after seeing me for the last time 21 years ago.
I've also worked with a lady who I found out after a few months was a childhood playmate of a couple of my aunts and was also distantly related...this being said, if you're German Lutheran in SA and meet another German Lutheran, you will almost certainly be related in some way. It's why we're all a bit funny looking #22Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:46 AM
My BF in the UK is a teacher, she started work at a new school and the Deputy Head was her then fiances psycho ex-girlfriend! (psycho in that she tried to stab him when thy split up).
To their credit they worked together for about 5 years but it was pretty awkward, especially when my friend was planning her wedding! #23Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:50 AM
It's an all over thing. I met DH in Sydney through a mutual friend. When i met his family it turned out that his Grandpa and Grandma owned the butcher shop where my grandparents shopped and they used to give my dad frankfurts when he was a little boy. My Dad then went on to grafitti the side of their shop with 'Get out of Vietnam'. His grandmother remembered my dad and all of his siblings and it also turned out my grandmother tutored DH's uncle in English/History. Intertwined families.
My childhood 'boyfriend' ie we loved each other in kindy, and I eventually ended up in a real relationship (around age 20) that was discouraged by both sets of parents, we found out why when they told us that our great grandmothers were sisters.

Small world story. When I was a teenager we lived in a tiny coastal town in NSW and our parents took us to Disneyland. On one of our three days there we ran into our neighbors from over the back fence! We didn't know they were going and they didn't know we were going!

I live in Wollongong.
My boss used to surf with my uncle, possibly went out with my mum and my aunt dated the bosses brother in high school. And that's just one story. I have learnt early to be very careful what you say about people! And living in the suburb where your mum grew up can be very interesting. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Alternative energy pioneer Allan Giddy exhibited two works at SCANZ2015. The first was the night time projection of Night swimmer onto a small stream in Pukekura Park. The second, England Expects … (Aotearoa) 2014-15 was installed on the foreshore by the Huatoki outlet. The installation is solar powered, and uses three mics on the tips of fishing lines – which turns them into aeolian harps (which are blown by the wind). The audio created is mixed with the UK weather forecast, and a recorded response by violinist Alison Blunt of the London Improvisers Orchestra. A special implementation of England Expects … (Aotearoa) 2014-15 at SCANZ involved waiata sung by Jo Tito, connecting the specific location to the British influences in the work.

Further down the page is the schedule for Water and Peace workshops at Quirky Creative – for ages 5 to adult, which take place from Monday 26th to Friday 30th January. Projects made at the workshops will be displayed on the 31st.
Water, food and resources at SCANZ
As organisers of the SCANZ residency, we are working on ways to reduce our water footprint. We usually supply tea, coffee beans and a coffee grinder because our largely artist group loves coffee. However, for 2015 water*peace we are considering not supplying coffee on Fridays, and only providing locally grown herbal tea: lemon verbena. This is because the best way to reduce water footprint is to consume locally grown products.
In addition, rather than purchasing the coffee solely on the basis of taste, we will be purchasing Fair Trade Organic. We are also intent on getting food from local suppliers as much as possible. These are positive steps to take, in line with our determination to be involved in positive experiences in regard to the environment.
Call for water*peace presentations
As part of SCANZ2015:water*peace, Intercreate.org is seeking presentations based on water and/or peace along the following thematic threads: indigenous awareness, beyond the physical, states of flow, bodies of water, science and measurement, commentaries on peace. Presentations will be given in the open air along the Huatoki walkway on Sunday February 1st 2015.
