Here's another game that I've become hooked to. I started playing thinking it'll be over by level 30...it didn't...i thought it'll end at 50...it didn't...now i'm at level 91 and apparently stuck! I'm doing everything right, but my keyboard isn't sensitive enough to move the character quickly enough from the about-to-explode bomb...sigh!
I found out there are 100 levels in all. So close yet so far! try it out

Got the game from a friend. The moment i started playing, i got hooked.

I haven't done much work at office, the last 2 days.




But now i am at peace with the game and myself. The software Industry will soon show a teeny weeny spurt in employee productivity.. he he
