A “palate-cleanser” game?

I was playing Military Madness today, and couldn’t get past the Galios stage after a few tries. So as a break, I played Bonk’s Adventure, since it’s an easy play.

Anybody else ever do this? Just to take a break and get the vibe of winning back?

Now that I type it out, it sounds kind of lame…LOL

Yeah devils crush and alien crush were both great games that you could play for a quick refresh... or waste hours on.

Vigilante's good for a quick replay, too.

I used to come home from school every day and, back-to-back, beat Ninja Spirit and Bonk's Adventure. It was a quick hour or so and it was a nice reset after a day of school. Getting an easy win is refreshing and fun.

Also played Devil's Crush as a pick me up quite a bit.

Alien’s Crush

First game I ever played when the system came out (I was 14). The detail of the graphics blew my mind because I thought it looked so realistic.

I do this often. Particularly after a shooter.

Ninja Spirit is a palate-cleanser.

Blazing Lazers for me. It always helps me reset and get ready to play something else. Its just a good, fun all-rounder.
