I just wondered what happened to the weekly “What are you playing”-thread and it seems it went on a long summer break. Outdoors. Without electronics. Or Internet.

So, as fall/autumn is around the corner, it’s time to get back in front of your consoles, gaming PCs, smartphones, tablets.

What are you playing this week?

    I’ve been on Pokopia all summer, really since it came our. Baby has been going through sleep regression this week, so I’ve only been playing this game from the F-droid app store…

    Its called BIM! You’re a silly little prince boy and you have to drop a bomb on the other silly prince boys in the yard. Simple mechanics, alpha stage, not too many powerups. But there’s a barrel that you can wear so that you can get bombed once. I don’t think it was the creators intent, but there’s a short time after you lose your barrel where youre fully immune. It feels exploitive of the rules, but its really fun, because you can infinitely drop exploding bombs, allowing you to blitz your opponent by blasting your way through the board or even hunting them down and blowing them up.

    I hope the creator embraces the exploit and introduces a foil/counter to it. Because its a blast!
