Powder Game

When you're bored in class, you probably do one of a few things. 1. Play a game, 2. Draw on the tablet, or 3. [Fill in whatever else you do here]. Now, what would you do if I told you that you could do 1 and 2 at the same time? AND if you could make things explode?


I don't consider this a game by any means. The only goal is to do whatever you want. Absolute freedom. (Well, except it can't get you out of class) The controls are simple: Use the mouse, or styli us if you're using the touch-screen, to select an element. then click on the "play area" to drop that element. You can adjust the size of how much you drop at a time. Now HERE'S the fun part: Watch how the elements react with each other. Put a seed in some water and watch it grow into a tree. Drop a few superballs on the ground and watch them bounce back. And don't get me started on how many things there are to set up in flames.


Now, Powder Game is a game of exploration, so I won't ruin all the fun. Just get out there and start mixing things up. The best part is, it never gets old or boring. You'll always have a new idea to try out. A recent update added a whole nother dimension to the gameplay. Drop a "Player" onto the field and control him with the arrow keys. The possibilities are literally endless.

EDIT: Against my prediction, the site is blocked. Here's a copy version, although not as nice, that you can play with untill I find the real thing on an alternate server.
