More MadPea Madness!

This week I'll be letting you in a couple more games from MadPea.
 
"Escape The Room" is something that just blew me away. I'm a sucker for those browser-based "escape this" flash games. I'm sure most of you know about the series of these kind of games made by Toshimitsu Takagi: Crimson Room, Viridian Room, White Chamber, and most recently, Blue Chamber. I'll put a link at the bottom of this post if you've never played them before so you know what I'm talking about. They are definitely frustrating at times, but you feel so proud when you figure things out. And, if you do get stuck, there are tons of walkthroughs online that can help you out. "Escape The Room" by Mad Pea is exactly like those flash games. You get a free HUD and explore this small room, finding clues and items to help you get out. It's cleverly created and left me as proud and excited to have finished it as I would playing the flash games. The best part is, it's in Second Life so you can explore so much better than in the restricted confines of a flash animation. OH, and there is another version of "Escape The Room" too. It's based in the 70s!

"Reaction" is a fun little minigame where you get to be a laboratory technician, which is cool for people who are intrigued by science and how things are made. It may seem a tad boring for other people though, I'm sure. You get a free HUD and go from station to station around the room, slowly adding to your ingredient list. Some things you need are scattered around the lab as well. In the end you have a fun finale to watch. It had me giggling happily in eagerness when I figured out what I was making. So, if you're into science at all and feel like pretending to be a super smart laboratory technician, give "Reaction" a try.

There's also the frustrating challenge that is Chroma Sphere, which is similar to that awesome 80s game called "Simon". It is a sphere that has 8 buttons on it. Each level has you make the buttons all one specific color by clicking the each button until you get the right color. The levels get progressively harder by giving you less time AND the blasted sphere starts moving in weird ways to make it harder to click the buttons. The game itself is only $199L and you never have to pay to play it. It even has a handy high score script in it, showing the top 5 scores.
