A Gaming Diary
Slingo Supreme (iPhone)
Rubbish, random cross between bingo and fruit machines – with power ups and incredibly shit mini games. Really, it’s a great big sack of crap.
So why do I keep playing it? And enjoying it? And wanting to play more?
If I could work that out, I think I’d probably be able to rule the world. Maybe it’s that there are just enough choices to make, despite the randomness. Maybe it’s that it keeps pumping new powers, slots and stars at you. Maybe it’s that I want to work out how it’s possible to beat the million point score that’s top of the default leaderboard. (My best is just over 100,000.) Maybe it’s just that it’s brainless enough to amuse without needing any real concentration (except during the shell game).
I just don’t know.
