Yahooligan Games for Kids

Bubble Bug

• Bug-catching is fun for some kids, particularly in the spring after a long winter spent indoors. With Bubble Bug, kids can have fun trying to catch bugs any time of year. The player starts out at level one and works his way up. The mouse controls the bubble wand on screen. The player blows a bubble by using the left mouse button and moving the bubble around a bug in order to catch the bug. The player needs to blow the bubble and release it with the bug inside, otherwise the bubble just floats away. If the player catches a bug or multiple bugs, he earns points that build toward a score at the end of each level. The game starts out fairly easy with single bugs that move slowly, but progressively gets harder with clusters of bugs that move at a faster pace.

Marble Lines

• This colorful game requires a quick eye and strategy. The object of the game is to throw a marble at the string of marbles moving along a gutter. The balls are randomly put together and the player must throw the random marble he receives at the string to create a group of three or more like colors. If he is successful, the row of colors will disappear, making the string of marbles shorter. As the string of marbles moves along, it heads for the hole on the screen. If the player isn't fast enough, he loses his marbles down the hole, lowering his score. With some strategy and quick thinking, players can make the entire string disappear, at which point the player moves on to the next level, The game starts out with one string of marbles, but at higher levels players have to handle multiple strings that increase in length.

Tower Blocks

• Most kids know what happens when they build too high of a block tower or don't line the blocks up right: the blocks come crashing down. In Tower Blocks, the results are no different. However, blocks randomly drop down from a crane, and the player must attempt to stack blocks directly on top of each other for a better chance at keeping the tower. With the click of the mouse, blocks will fall on top of each other nicely--earning points--or they'll barely stay stacked on the edge of the previous block which lets player progress in the game but not earn points. If the player isn't careful, he'll miss the tower and the block will fall past the other blocks already stacked. The player can lose only three blocks before the turn ends.
