Game Review: Robot Wants Kitty

Hey, everyone. It's coolish, here at the green retreat, and the leaves are getting serious about turning color. The dull red of dogwood, the bright red of sourwoods, yellow of poplar and the faint orange of birch are making the woods bright. The high for today was in the 64 degree range and it will be cool tonight.
    It's hard to know where to start, since I haven't talked to you for a week. I am certainly getting more work done on my books but I miss the blog.
   Let's talk games for a bit. Recently I downloaded a freebie for I-Pad called Robot Wants Kitty. Is this a cool title or what? It seems that a lonely robot is in need of something warm and fuzzy in his cold metallic world. He wants a kitten to hold and pet. So, he sets out through a maze in search of tactile satisfaction. At times he can see the cute little kitten, just inches away, but there is a wall preventing him from holding his new friend. To be honest, there are times when the game can be a bit frustrating as you go up, down, in and out of levels. It's a bit like a pac-man maze but the game is much cooler. You find ray guns to blow up walls and kill these blue blobs.There are these other one-eyed creatures who resemble boogers that hang from the ceiling. You have to leap up and fire your gun at the same time to blast them.
     You have to leap across holes at times. Some of them are pools of acid, which is harmful to your health. This is one of those games which you find yourself playing 'just a little more'. I would categorize it not as great, but pretty darn good. I got it for free but it won't be free for long. You should snag it, before the kittens are all gone. If you had to pay 99 cents for it, the game is easily worth it.
     Hey, I think I'll take a break and blog again this evening. I will tell you all about the new game I bought called Shadowgun. Check back in a few hours if you are not out on the town, getting wild and crazy.
    Speaking of wild and crazy, I just put another ebook on Smashwords and Amazon. The title is Notch 3 and it is the latest story about the gunman Cedric Gant. It's a good read and should be available on these two venues within hours. For the rest of the on-line stores it will probably be a week.
   Remember, a review of the latest hit shooter Shadowgun, tonight on the author's green retreat.
     I'm CE Wills.
PS: That's a raccoon track in the creek. It is under several inches of water.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
