Think fast, but click faster! In Preloaded's fast-paced arcade action game Axon, you've got to grow your brain from the ground up by making neural connections. As a foetal neural cell, your goal is to stretch your neuron to as many protein targets as possible by clicking any of the available targets above your cell. Your neuron can only reach a certain distance to make a new connection, and that distance diminishes quickly, so you've got to act quickly to stay alive. Along the way, you'll find colored protein targets that boost your neuron's reach or even send you flying along your path, but be wary of competing neurons that can cut off your path. The longer you can grow your neuron, the higher you will score. Axon only takes a few minutes to play, but once you reach out and make some connections, you'll be hooked.
Review
Game of the week
I like the feel of this game, the twangy technorganic sounds, and the way the screen moves. But like most games that require fast, precision mousing, playing with a a trackpad is horrible.
Then play it with a mouse!
