Little Wheel

[truepenny]

OneClickDog Games has come out with a flash game called Little Wheel. It's a very short game, and very simple (I'd guess it took me about five minutes), but as with Mateusz Skutnik's Submachine games, what delights me is the art and the world-building--and, for Little Wheel, the animation.

It was a lovely palate cleanser before I run errands this afternoon, and I commend it to your attention.

Thank you. I may show this to my class tomorrow.

I must be too old. I clicked on the binoculars and looked, and clicked on the alarm, but I couldn't make any progress.....

You're welcome!

Just out of vulgar curiosity, what do you teach?

I have to admit that I looked at the first few lines of the walk through because I just could not get started, but after that, with a bit of trial and error I got the little chap safely to the main generator.

I got so involved I nearly cheered when all the lights came back on and the little robots came alive again. :)

Also, it's unlikely to be that you're "too old" and more likely that you just aren't familiar with the way this type of game works.

It's all about knowing the reading protocols. :)

Tomorrow, a course for other teachers about using games in the classroom.

So this fits very well.

Me too. It's just too darned cute.

But, see, I think after a certain age you lose intuition about new protocols. Our parents can't program their vcrs, etc...

See, now I can't even find the walkthrough.

Thanks for this; I tried it; maybe my keyboard isn't hooked up right...

I'm going through the game thinking "Train? Big Automatons? Mechanical puzzle/ritual to restart the generator? This seems... familiar..."

Only superficially, probably associated by following your link.

I also like the font.
