If there’s any game that I probably shouldn’t have spent money on, it’s Trixel. It’s not that it’s a bad game – far from it. It’s actually a very nice implementation of a good idea. The trouble is, I am terrible at it. It requires planning several steps in advance, something my poor, dim brain just isn’t cut out for.


I play a few levels, then my brain shuts down and decides that I’m not allowed to, you know, think and I get annoyed and turn the game off and go and play something that requires no thought while my brain lies back on a chaise lounge and fans itself for a while.
