If you are going to spend some time in front of you computer with a browser open without being terribly busy, be sure to check out “Breaking the Tower”, a nice little strategy game. It only consists of one level, but it’s actually fun enough to go back and play it over and over again.

Why don’t you start playing the game ? – come back when the game is running…

Surprisingly, it’s a Java Applet. I kind of expected it to be Flash when I opened the page.

One nice aspect of the game is that you don’t need to be actively playing all the time. What I did was I started the game and then went back to browsing other sites and then came back and see my resources in the hundrets. Yes, it is pretty much a very simple clone of “Die Siedler” or “The Settlers”, but it hit the spot. I think it is a good example of what casual games can be. Simple does not have to mean stupid.
