Loopty Loop

Scooted over to my friend Nancy White's blog to see what she's been  talking about lately and was thrilled to find this intriguing post called Work Avoidance? Loop, a Shockwave game.

While most people may dismiss this as child's play, this incredibly intriguing game is more than a simple creature capture game! Part puzzle, part fantasy, it's pure addiction! The butterflies are everywhere!" And people wonder why I don't get around to answering all my email!

Here's the link to the game.

On my first try I got to chapter 5. Just earned 230 points.  To put that in perspective Catra1955 scored 1,385 points.

Hope to increase my skill level significantly by the end of the day. Besides a lovely lunch meeting, I am hunkered down on a writing assignment all day, and anticipating that Loop will play a big role in this writing assignment.

On a serious note, the game requires that you break some Pavlovian habits like clicking.

It has visuals that you intuitively "click on" to get to the next level,  but clicking won't get you there. In this game, getting to the next level requires drawing a loop, not a click.

A great reminder  today to avoid assumptions, try new things and think outside of the loop. 

Have fun.
