\"Ellipsis\"\"Ellipsis\"<\/a>“Point\u00e2\u20ac\u2122n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Click” lovers, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t miss this one! Ellipsis is the latest game released by John Cooney<\/a>. Available on his personal website, this new “defend your base” is another fast paced and original game from the author of the famous Four Second series.<\/p>\n

The object here is to defend your base from all the “evil” bricks that surround you and destroy them before they hit your base. To do so, you will have to use a very unusual weapon: your mouse! Just click once any moving brick to make it explode in an incredible number of particles.<\/p>\n

Bricks enter the screen wave after wave and the game is programmed to “become harder and harder”, said John. 10 different types of enemies will appear throughout the game, from the slow and “easy-to-click” ones to the nasty speedy half-invisible ones.<\/p>\n

If your base is hit by a brick, its health decreases gradually (you start with 100 points), depending on the speed of this brick; the game ends only once your base is destroyed.<\/p>\n

On the downside, I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t able to find a button to turn the – excellent – music off; a pause function would have been nice too, especially after 10 minutes spent clicking frantically everywhere, even if it is of course a part of the gameplay.<\/p>\n

Overall, Ellipsis is another very simple and delightful game from John Cooney, perfect for a short break.<\/p>\n

Have fun!<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: use the “Toggle Debris” function if the game runs slow on your computer.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
