RecordTripping - Abstract Mouse Wheel Fun and Games





Record tripping is an extremely well designed and original game by the Bell Brothers who have a penchant for picture frames. It is also a very deserving winner of both a Webby Award and an FWA Site of the Day.

The idea of the game is to use your mouse wheel to manipulate a variety of devices including a safe, a clock and a windmill in order to affect displayed scene.

To make this cleaer, take a look at the following:

Here you spin the windmill clockwise or anti-clockwise to affect the air current so as to blast a falling seed with the object of landing it into a receptacle of earth, whence forth a lovely flower sprouts.

Also:

On this level you must spin the dial on the safe in the correct direction until it clicks into place. When you complete the relevant number of clicks, the safe pops open.

This is all accompanied to either the default Alice in Wonderland track or to another track that you can download, the sound being scratched by your mouse wheel jiggery.

I know it all sounds a little strange, but it is quite good fun for ten minutes or so.
