Dinglepop

iJustine turned me on to a new game on iminlikewithyou called dinglepop. The game is pretty self explanatory and extremely addicting. All you have to do is match 3 like-colored dinglepops to free them before they are pushed past the dotted line.

The best part about dinglepop is the team play. Much like blockles, there are items that you are able to use against your opponents to further your chances of winning. Popping and dropping dingles send new dingles onto your opponent’s screen.

If you pop dingles containing items, you can add them to your queue. You can use items on yourself or others by pressing the numbers on your keyboard. Unfortunately it took me 3 hours and about 50 games to realize this. I guess I should have read the instructions.

What’s cool is that I’ve played against people from all across the world. I’ve never really explored the iminlikewithyou site, but it seems to be a more interactive version of facebook.

I can not stop playing dinglepop.  After every game, I say that this is the last one and every time I play just one more. I can not have my last game be a loss, so I also have to keep playing and can’t stop until I win.

Last night I got stuck in a game with some kid from Germany that was like some kind of savant. I could not beat her and I wouldn’t quit until I did.  Around 2 am, she finally quit and I was able to win the next round and go to sleep.

Okay, now you must excuse me. I have some gaming to do.
