Improve Mouse Control With Twiddle Stix

Everyone Can Enjoy Twiddle Stix

Twiddle Stix is the kind of game that all the family can enjoy. it is a cute concept. With Twiddle Stix you are the stick that is in the water. Perhaps the game emerged out of the concept of Poohsticks or something because it sure did remind me of the days of old when I was a kid and played Poohsticks with my family. You know, the game in which you each take a stick (usually a broken tree branch), throw it on one side of the river and then watch to see it come through to the other side. Well, with Twiddle Stix, you have a stick (also that looks like a broken tree branch) and you have to try and move it through the river, using your up, down, right and left cursor keys. The only problem is, there are so many blocks, and the stick rotates so fast on its own, that it is pretty difficult to try and get it through the narrow spots.

Be Patient With Twiddle Stix

But the game is very much about learning and developing patience. I found that the more I waited in place when I found myself (the stick!) in a potential bind, the better off I was. I only ran into trouble and got knocked out of a level when I was in too much of a rush. Given this lesson, I found that I also - at the same time - learned something important for life. Sometimes one needs to really move, full steam ahead, in life. But at other times, it is just as important to sit back and wait. Let other things move along so that you can just sit back and smell the coffee. And when you do that, everything will fall in place and your time will come, eventually, at just the right moment in the grander scheme of things.

Bloomin' Gardens

Sort Out Your Garden Here

If you have ever enjoyed a spot of gardening, or seen yourself as the green fingered sort, or just enjoy fun puzzle games using great flash software, you will love Bloomin' Gardens.  In the game, you will find a whole load of plants growing. The objective of Bloomin' Gardens is to pick them, but you have to do this pretty quickly otherwise you will run out of space and that is frowned upon in this game. the way you do that is by lining them up in groups of 5 (or more; the more the better and you will be rewarded more points for more too).

To move the plants you click them, move them to where you want them and click again to release them to their new homes.  But remember to always ensure that there is a clear path in the garden.  If the garden gets overgrown, you lose!

Not As Easy as it Looks!

What makes Bloomin' Gardens so frustrating (but equally entertaining as you get more and more determined each time you play to win!) is that you have no idea initially where the problem areas are.  For example, when I first played, I kept trying to move plants into areas where it was not allowed.  I saw it say "No Clear Path" and then I was stuck.  So you have far few areas than you think to move things around.  So there is a sort of strategy that has to be developed with Bloomin' Gardens.  And the more you play it, the easier it becomes.  But it is still no pushover!
