Bell Hop

The casual game that is breaking me away from WASD’ing at the moment: Winterbells.

You play as a bunny, who jumps on bells until the end of time - or at least until you fail in the bunny’s quest to climb eternity because of your inability to maintain a sufficient level of hand-eye coordination. And why would you ever make such slips? Do you not like bunnies? Do you think you are above bunny kind? Shame shame.

Winterbells is a great 5-10 minute distraction. Bang bang:

a) Angle of slouchiness - There are a couple of factors that incline me to recline to the point of me half under the desk as I play this game. After the initial click to bunny jump, there’s no need to left-click anymore. The game is all about moving the mouse so the bunny can hop-hippity bell to bell. This also frees up my other hand so I can complete the image of my lazied posture by resting head on said hand.
b) Aesthetics - I could say Winerbells’ use of dark colors is easier on me eyes, but that would be lying and being a liar is not what I’m about most of the time. If I’m going to play a game, my eyes need candy.
3) Bunny - Yeah, smashie them bells!

And there you have it. Apparently, the gun was only a 3-shooter.
