So I was browsing around on a lazy sunday when I came across this website, created by Tomas Eriksson. It absolutely provides you with something to do on a boring day, or even when hanging out with friends.
When you visit http://www.onemotion.com, you can opt to play with the following eight games:
Scary Spider
This part of the website makes you alter a lean, mean, spider to an almost cute and small adorable one. If that at all is possible. I personally do not like spiders BUT given the tricks provided here, it was interesting enough for me to edit the spider. You can choose amongst the settings: spider speed, spider scale, body height, body scale, walk bounce, leg thickness, leg reach, raise height, view angle, and shadow angle. Controlling the walk bounce most definitely sets the borderline from cute to just eerie! Double-click the screen to put insects on the floor to be eaten by the spider. It moves alone or can be controlled by the user. If you feel like scaring your little baby sibling, just hit full screen and force them to sit in front of the computer for a very long time, haha!
Snake Trouble
Okay, rules were simple: Eat mice to grow and get points under a given time. Tips are also included, of course. When the snake head hits any part of the body as it tries to turn, the game is over. I guess it is just irritating enough to be borderline fun when you have nothing to do on a boring Sunday. Plus the fact that hitting the body with the head is just something you want to keep trying not to do so you want to stay in the game.
Asteroids Game
Controls are easy: use the arrows to steer and thrust, space bar to shoot, and P to pause. Very simple, felt like I was a kid again playing those games we loved back in the 80's. If you are good enough to stay in the game, more life and multiple shots just for you! Needs a bit of getting used to with the controls, tho. Simple is fun, and if that is what you are looking for then here's one to try!
Tetris Game
Oh, I just miss playing this game! With the android and iOS phones coming out, I have been searching for a free game that I can download from the app stores, but could not find one! Finally, tetris! It's almost nostalgic!
Sketch and Paint
This is pretty much your basic drawing board where you can save, edit, and modify what you draw. Brush is very artistic, though. Not the typical circles where you choose just the right sizes you want to use. Very elegant strokes, and definitely free!
Drum Machine
One would defnitely explore the rhythm on this one, as it says under the name when you hit the page. If you want to create your beats online the easiest way without haveing the trouble of installing anything, this is the page to go to. Drum parts are Kick 2, Snare 2, Hihat 1, Hihat 2, and Stick. Adjustable controls are volume, fx, tempo, shuffle (if you want the beats shuffled throughout the sequence). Echo fx are also controllable: factor, delay, and bounce. There is a button on the lower right side for solo playing, whichever of the drum parts you selected. There are also 3 demos on the lower left side of the drum machine so you can play them and later edit the beats through the boxes. Red means they are playing (upon click). When you click the box again and it becomes black, then it is switched off. Try out the experience of the drum machine!
DJ Turntable
If you thought the Drum Machine was fun, wait until you are able to load your own mp3 into this DJ Turntable and hit it like it is real! Controls are volume, speed, effects, cutoff, echo, and distance. You can reset all the settings and of course, start and stop the song whenever you want to.
Breakdance
Make this boy break his dance! You can control his jumps by pressing "G" to remove and put his gravity back on, and make his arms move left or right with the controls! Beat is definitely edgy and catchy. Compete with your friends on who can make this dancer make the hippest moves!
