So CP's Brian Howard sent this game my way a week or so ago, and it's his fault I can't stop playing. Chain Factor is like Connect Four, Tetris, and Plinko had a baby. In the game, you drop discs, numbered one through seven, onto the board, one by one. The point of the game is to line the discs up in horizontal and vertical rows, thus making them disappear. It's a little confusing at first, and if you just start clicking away, it won't make any sense. The discs will only disappear when the number of discs in its row matches the number on it. For instance, if you have a four, a four, a six, and then drop a two into the row, the two fours will disappear. You'll also be given blank grey discs to drop, and they'll start to crack and eventually reveal a numbered disc that comes into play.
The real fun of this game begins when you start linking chains of disappearing discs together, hence the name of the game. They're pretty hard to plan at first, but you'll eventually start to get the hang of it. It's an oddly satisfying feeling to watch the chains unfold, kind of like when you'd clear a round of Tetris after that well was nearly full.
Go play Chain Factor here.
Don't blame me! Blame CP's Carolyn Huckabay. She gave me my first free fix. I've been p(l)aying every since.
Don't blame me! Blame my friend Diane, who got it from her sister, Ellen, who got it from her boyfriend. It's like an STD without any cure!
