Casual Game Friday: Magic Pen

A few weeks ago Peter wanted me to do a game called Crayon Physics. It looked really cool, but unfortunately it was only downloadable, so I didn't want to use it on Casual Game Friday because that's not very accessible. But then I found a similar game but playable in a browser. And that's our game today: Magic Pen.

Magic Pen is a physics based game where you draw shapes with your mouse. Those shapes manipulate the ball in order to move it to the goal, a flag. You can draw circles by holding down the left mouse button, or other shapes by just drawing them. There's also a couple special things you can use: hinges and pins. They make whatever shape you draw stick to where you originally drew it. It's a little more involved than some of the other games I've posted, so I'd recommend doing the little tutorial they have.

The look of the game is so fun, though. It looks like a team of third graders helped design the game. It makes for a lighthearted mood while playing. So get out your kid mentality that likes crayons, and keep your adult smarts on hand to...

Play Magic Pen!

Hmm, it won't load for me. I'll have to try it tonight.

The powder game is similar and awesome.

Odd. It's just Adobe Flash 9...

I've played that powder game before! It is indeed very fun.
