Not all Web games have to be fast paced to get your adrenaline flowing and your heart pumping to be good. Maybe there's a place for a slow-paced, relaxing, endorphin producing game. And maybe today's featured game is that game.
This is a very engaging game called High Wheels. In this game you jump between spinning wheels and try to collect as many red dots as possible. The background music is a slow tempo Gamelon bell that would make a nice screen-saver sound and it really suits the game. Even though you have five minutes to try to complete a level, don't think that this game will put you to sleep, in fact it is so engrossing that you'll be wondering where the time went.
To play you can move left or right on the floor or jump onto and to and from various spinning "sticky" wheels while trying to catch red dots on the way. An occasional blue bonus dot will appear and if you capture it, it will grant you temporary special powers such as "no gravity" or "stop the wheels." Just remember the object is to get as many red dots as possible.
We like this game because it is relaxing and engaging at the same time. And we love the concept and the simple and beautiful graphics and music.
