Two timesucks today

First one's called One Level.  It's a simple enough game that forces you to replay the same level over and over again (thirty times in all) with a different wrinkle each time.  Pay attention to the title of each level as it'll give you some pretty strong hints as to what's going on each time.

I'll admit to having used the walkthrough to get through level fifteen.  The rest I did on my own.  Took me nearly ten minutes to get all thirty done.

The other timesuck is called Flabby Physics.  It's a series of levels - about ten in all - that have the same simple goal - bounce the ball into the star.  There's only one command - the space bar - which causes the figure on the screen to bulge in some way.  You have to figure out how to make that bulge move the ball the way you want it.

Today's timesucks are incredibly simple but catchy.

In other words, they're pretty much perfect.
