Puppet Wars is a dueling puppet Time Waster

Filed under: Fun, Games, Time-Wasters

Puppet Wars is a simple game of one-on-one battles between deadly puppet-like robots. Your puppet is armed with two upgradeable swords and a body that you can upgrade for increased HP. You attack by holding a left or right arrow to spin and using the mouse to maneuver toward your opponent. The 9 enemy robots (plus three bosses) are progressively strong and provide progressively more gold.

Puppet control is a little slow and clunky, but the game isn't fantastically challenging on easy or normal difficulty, as long as you're buying the best weapons and chassis you can afford after each round. On hard, the final boss (the aptly-named Butcher) is a pain to defeat. Puppet Wars is good for a half-hour or so of fun, but the small number of levels and upgrades means it loses replay value quickly. If you're in a bad mood, though, that half-hour spent with blade-wielding puppets might be just the prescription you need.
