Five Fun Games for the Weekend
Here’s your selection of games from Mac Games and More that will take you into the weekend. The picks include a platformer where you’ll happily rescue your girlfriend from aliens, a fast-blasting, cannonball shooting pirate game and a sim where you take on the role of an all powerful deity.
 Bud Redhead – Bud Redhead will pluck at the heart strings of retrogamers and gamers in general, who love jump and run, Mario-like games. Although Bud has been around for some time now, it remains to be a popular choice in the world of casual gaming. With attentive and devoted development, the game progresses beautifully and naturally for players, taking them through four worlds in the space-time continuum. It gets gamers to want more so they can play through all the absolutely huge levels. It’s one of those games that you HAVE to finish. Bud Redhead took four years to produce and the dedicated work shows. It’s one of our all time favorite games that concludes with a twist (spoiler!): a showdown shoot ‘em up style ending against the Big Boss. Download it

| Pirate Poppers – Yo Scallywags! Skillfully aim and shoot same color balls from your cannon moving side to side at the bottom of the game board. As you create chain explosions, catch power ups, bonuses, precious pearls, gems, gold, goblets and other booty to fill your coveted treasure trove. In Pirate Poppers, which is a variation of Zuma and Luxor, start off as a lowly Landlubber collecting valuable trickets and jewels, then work your way up the pirate ranks to become a proud Scurvy Dog. Perhaps being called a Powder Monkey is more incentive. Is a pirate’s life for you? While the game play incorporates some luck on your side, you’ll require some skill as well. Shoot for combo chain explosions, work fast and you won’t be sent to walk the plank. Download it

 Tasty Planet – Tasty Planet is another one of our favorites, and will remind some gamers of Katamari Damacy, which involves a mission to rebuild the universe by pushing around a sticky ball accumulating everything it rolls on. In Tasty Planet, however, the tale involves a science experiment gone very, very wrong. Instead of rebuilding the universe, you try to destroy it by eating it. You begin as a teeny tiny, unstoppable blob that gobbles up everything in its path, starting with amoebas and germs. The more you eat the more you grow in size but you can never eat anything bigger than your head. Isn’t that what your mother used to tell you? The next edibles you’ll want to devour and digest might involve golf balls, cars, trees, houses. What’s next, planets? Yes! The bigger you grow the larger the meal possibilities. Yum! Download it

 Air Assault – This is a classic, action-arcade helicopter shooter with you leading a mission to fight terrorist forces to save the world. Fly your helicopter above enemy lines to destroy as many opponents and strategic peripheral elements (barracks, bridges, antennas) as possible. Use your skills, guns, missiles, rockets and whatever you can get your hands on to fight for the cause. As you progress, the game’s difficulty level increases. The game features 10 different power ups, over 30 types of enemies and 30 levels. Download itDON'T MISS |
 Sprouts Adventure – If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to play God, here’s your chance. In this sim game for Mac, a devastating storm nearly wipes out an entire population of sprouts, which are cute, squeaky little beings. The few survivors remaining need help. This is where you step in. As ruler you must guide the sprouts back to their original prosperous life. How will you do that? The sprouts are counting on you to put them back on track and to return them to the lifestyle they once loved. Keep them fed, assist them in rebuilding their homes and land, help them invent wonderful toys to play with, and ultimately keep them happy and productive. Try to earn as many Karma points as you can and do remember to remove the weeds! Download it |
