I built a spaceport for the grid-snapped city

by Nick Montfort · , 12:21 am

Er, I just spent way too much time playing gameLab’s puzzler WorldBuilder, available on the Lego site. I did stop doing the bonus goals after a while, at least, and managed to forego playing past world one…

I guess my excuse is that, since I don’t have my Atari Lynx handy, I can’t play Crystal Mines II or Chip’s Challenge. WorldBuilder isn’t too shabby, though.

I can see why—it’s actually pretty addictive! I thought I’d just take a quick look, but an hour later I was still hunched over my iBook muttering “Quick! Take apart! Avoid the crab!” to myself. Uh… maybe I need to get out a little more…. ;-)
