Many individuals find it tough to maintain a harmonious cosmic equilibrium, but for me, it's a breeze. My penchant for dishing out sage advice through these essays is proof of my altruistic ways – you can thank me later! I aim to coax you, mortals, into embracing benevolence with eight maps infused with pure altruism and selflessness. Isn't there an adage about overwhelming adversaries with goodwill?
BENEVOLENT SPIRIT
by Flamingosaurus, SwishierTuna, & MichaelMana
During my younger years, late-night vigils were a habit my mother would deter by swooping down and giving me a nip, alerting me to the advancing night. An unorthodox technique, yet surprisingly functional. Hence, my belief that phantoms are merely misjudged. Indeed, no other entity shows as much concern for our sleep habits. In this mini-game, phantoms go above and beyond to be positively... exceptional. Enter the dreamscapes of players to banish their dark visions and possibly rack up a top score while at it. Being benevolent may be rewarding in itself, but tangible prizes aren't too shabby either, so why not aim for both and dethrone Mother Teresa on the scoreboard?
PRESSURED
When you're cornered and escape options are scant, pleasantries aren't a priority. In this strategy game (mirroring life at times?), the smart strategy is to place a block diagonally adjacent to one of your previously placed blocks. Why? Because failing to do so breaks this mini-games rules! If there's space for block placement, there's an opportunity for growth, and it's imperative to strive for excellence to outrival our opponents. Be sure to tip your AI after; even small acts of kindness can be a way to assert your edge over those beneath you.
TURTLE TOY RUMBLE
by Flamingosaurus, Frenderman, & MCFilms
In this karmic tutorial, we're taught to advance goodness! Through "spontaneous acts of goodwill?" Not quite! Here, mechanized turtles opt for intense combat instead. Well, the adage "you reap what you sow" still serves as a potent life lesson, so engage in the fray to the extent of your desire.
