The Long Weekend Cure: Red Remover [Browser]
November 28, 2009 | Erik Johnson
If you’re finding that originally great ‘four day weekend’ feeling melting into a puddle of confusion on what to do with the extra 48 hours, may I suggest a little flash gaming? I was directed to the browser-based puzzler Red Remover from a Reddit post I came across yesterday, though I’ve been informed from a couple friends that the game has been out for a little while now, so if you’ve played before consider this a classic callback.
In Red Remover the goal is to get rid of the red while keeping the green shapes on screen. As you make your way through, new obstacles and challenges are introduced, and while there’s a par score for amount of clicks it takes to solve the puzzle there appears to be multiple options to solve at least some of the levels. It holds the standard of an enjoyable puzzle game as when you complete a level your left with a sense of satisfaction, and when you fail a few times in a row you’ll want to head butt your monitor.
The game really isn’t too difficult, but its challenging enough with its simple, yet progressive gameplay. Definitely a great way to eat up a portion of that long-winded weekend. Have a go-round with it here.
