You are freakin' God! In the tower defense-esque game ZOMT, you take on the role of a primitive deity. Create worshipers to bow before you and provide you with mana. Use the mana to create warriors or send your godly powers hurtling down on the heads of your enemies, whose only goal is to crush the life from your worshipers and topple your idol. Don't let that happen. What are you waiting for? Get smiting!

 

Thanksgiving is at our doorstep and we'll soon be stuffing our faces. It only seems appropriate, then, to focus this week's Webgame Wednesday on the art of eating. The simple puzzle game Crumbs asks you to hold your mouse button down and take as big a bite as you can from a cookie. Sounds simple enough. But you've barely got a second or two to complete the task. Should you take a bigger bite, or sneak in a couple of smaller bites? How does the shape of the cookie affect your eating pattern? The objective, of course, is to chomp down as much of the cookie as possible in the time you're allotted. The game is super short, but you can cycle back through, trying to improve your eating ability--just the sort of training you'll need to survive the holidays.

 

Some days, you're just in the mood to take over the entire world and wipe out all of humanity. If this describes you, why not try your hand at Apocalipseed . In this real-time strategy game, you control a cactus-like alien who has crash-landed in a major metropolitan area. Your goal? Sends some of your toothy tendrils up through the ground, eat as many of those meat-based beings wandering around as possible and sprout an army to fight off those gun-toting police officers. Get growing!
