The Journey to Elysium - Level 1

First things first. In order to better understand the game and, hopefully, my pointers as well, I am going to start with level one of The Journey to Elysium.

At the beginning of the level you are given the level password. It is at the top right corner of the main illustration:

This is obviously not significant for the very first level, but it can be handy because it allows you to continue the game at a later point.
Note that if you are going for a maximum score you'll probably have to play the game through, level 1 to level 50 - in one go! But, don't attempt to do so before first getting through all the levels at whatever speed. In other words, don't pay attention to the score for now.

I had to do my own difference markers so the Journey to Elysium walkthroughs will show screenshots of the game, featuring my custom-made glowing Xs. Heh.

Level 1 is easy, but anyway... here are the 5 differences between the two images on the first level, called DEPARTURE. Note that level passwords are always all uppercase.

Tomb Trapper - Addictive little game

Action games are not my favorite genre. I can get carried away at times, but then the game has to offer something very special.
When it comes to this game I have no idea what it is, but it is definitely one of my favorites. Mind you, the game has been around for years! It may have been "the latest thing" when it was first published, but it certainly doesn't demonstrate any outstanding achievement at this point, and yet... it is still one of my favorites!
I may not play it for months, only to then try it again and get hooked - once again. It happens every single time.
Scary stuff actually!

The game has multiple levels, and each is more difficult than the last. This is how a level could look:

Your "mission" is to trap the freaky mummies (you'll see...) on each level by pushing boxes. When a mummy is surrounded with boxes and cannot move at all it is considered "trapped". The problem is that you can move in 4 directions and the mummies can move in 8! Each new level has more mummies for you to trap. If they get to you before you trap them, well, then you have failed and it's game over.

The concept is simple enough, the game play is very addictive...
Tomb Trapper is a fast-paced game, the background music is exciting and very fitting and did I mention that the mummies are freaky?

Have fun!

The Journey to Elysium - Game Introduction

My first post shall be dedicated to the game called The Journey to Elysium.
It's more than a game really, because it's actually quite an elaborate story as well, but on the surface it is a "spot the differences" game. You know... you are shown two images which look identical, but a few (five) details are different in the two pictures.
Each piece of the story begins with an illustration, which is a done in a nice and detailed (possibly 3d) style.

Read a short paragraph (a piece of the story), and then click to continue.
Then you'll see the two variations of the graphic and you have to find the differences in order to get to the next level.

The faster you find them the more you will score. After the counter (positioned between the graphics) runs down you can still continue. The only difference is that you won't score any points for any additional differences found on that level. So speed matters, but if you want to take it easy and just enjoy the ride, you can do that as well.
As soon as you solve the level and find all the differences you are taken to the next level, feat. a new illustration and a new piece of the story.
There is a total of 50 levels and judging by the highscores table on the site only a few have made it all the way.
The Journey to Elysium is one of newer GamezArena games, and I admit I haven't completed all 50 levels yet, but I am working on it.
Many of the levels are fairly easy, but a few of them are a major pain, so as I solve them, I'll report back here.
