This universe (2) is full of wondrous and tremendously different things. One thing that the average person has difficulty imaging is the vast difference in size between various items in the universe, from the smallest atom to the largest of galaxies. This disparity of scale is captured brilliantly in the “game” The Scale of the Universe.

Simulation games vary in difficulty depending on their audience. Some business simulators are exactingly realistic while others are designed more for lighthearted fun.

Demonrift TD takes its inspiration from the classic Tower Defense genre, in which players strategically purchase towers to place along a winding road. The goal is to keep monsters and other enemies from reaching the end of the road. The money used to purchase these towers is acquired by killing monsters. Typical strategies consist of placing towers near choke points, around "hairpin" turns, or in other locations where they can deal the most damage while enemies pass. Enemies come in waves; after the final wave, a particular map is finished, and the player progresses to the next map.

Stealing the Diamond - A review!
Sneak in? Or bust in? I chose to sneak in, revealing even more options to choose from. I chose the anti-gravity cap, and failed by flying out into space. The game reassures me that, "You're lucky! I've always wanted to go to space!" I try the pick, granting me access to the inside of the museum. Then there are more options on how I should finish out my ingenious heist. Every path leads to new and/or exciting failures and victories. There are 3 ways to finish (that I know of), and the first time you play, you just want to finish. Any time after that, you just want to watch how many creative ways you can fail.

SpeedRunner: Sprinting Toward Bombs

There have been many games made where you have to drive a car, fly a plane, or control a robot that moves incredibly quickly. Still other games have been made involving animals. Not that many games have been made that involve human superheroes, however, and SpeedRunner steps in nicely to fill the void. In
SpeedRunner, you will need to be as fast as you possibly can in order to win, whether that means outrunning the enemy or sprinting toward bombs.
