Wooden Path - a fiendishly addictive flash game


The most dangerously addictive flash games are those that are simple in concept. Wooden Path asks you to use the mouse to move blocks around to form a bridge connecting two points. Yellow blocks disappear when connected, blocking spaces are eliminated when similarly colored switches are connected by colored blocks, and "teleport spaces" exist on the simpler levels.

I'm warning you about the game because it's a time-eater. Solving even the low-level puzzles takes hundreds of moves. Creating the bridge A-07 took me over 1600 moves! And I was only able to solve the bridges up to level A-18. After that it would take the patience of Job or some remarkable logical insight.

I can't embed the game; the top image is a screencap. To access the game, go to THIS LINK, click on play, take the brief tutorial, and start with the Beginner's Map. (But don't do it, Brian. You have work you should be getting done.)
