In what has felt like the longest week ever (not helped by a school night visit to Brixton Academy), it's time to end the week with a nice game to melt your brain.
This week's game features everything we love here at Kerb: robots, time travel and logistical puzzles that truly test your grey matter. Well, two of those are true. We hate time travel.
Have you ever wondered how much you'd get done in a day if you had multiple versions of yourself? You could go and buy some milk while the other you puts the kettle on, you could go to the pub and get the drinks in while the other you is shutting down your PC at work. You could even be playing games while the other you is writing a weekly column about them. With that idea in mind, this week's game is Chronotron.
In Chronotron you take part in the ultimate team exercise, except you control the entire team, one turn at a time. Get your robot to stand on a switch to open a door while you get your other robot to walk through it and collect the circuit that powers your time machine to the next level. It doesn't sound simple, and once you practice timing your robots to do certain actions with enough time to control another robot to collect the circuit, your brain will hurt
With cutesy graphics that hide the brain melting brutalness of Chronotron, you'll very quickly get addicted and frustrated in equal measures. Definitely one to keep the brain cells ticking over for that last long hour of Friday afternoon.
