>> "bouncing around within the walls"
>> "The object of the game is to build new walls to decrease the size of the active field."
KLines is a simple but highly addictive, one player game for KDE. KLines has been inspired by well known game of Color Lines, written by Olga Demina, Igor Ivkin and Gennady Denisov back in 1992.

KMines is the classic Minesweeper game.

KNetWalk is a small game where you have to build up a computer-network by putting the rigth wires into the right order.
>> "computer network"

KBlackbox is a game of hide and seek played on a grid of boxes where the computer has hidden several balls.
>> + "The position of the hidden balls can be deduced by shooting beams into the box."
KGoldrunner is jump and run/puzzle/logic game.

In KSpaceDuel each of two possible players controls a satellite spaceship orbiting the sun. As the game progresses players have to eliminate opponent's spacecraft.

"KSquares is a game modeled after the well known pen and paper based game of Dots and Boxes."
>> Doesn't tell me much.. + "Each player takes it in turns to draw a line between two adjacent dots on the board. The objective is to complete more squares than your opponents."
>> Does this one really belong to games? (Not toys?)
You must go through the levels escaping ghosts in a maze. You lose a life when a ghost eats you, but you can eat the ghosts for a few seconds when eating an energizer. You win points when eating pills, energizers, and bonus, and you win one life for each 10,000 points. When you have eaten all the pills and energizers of a level, you go to the next level, and the player and ghost speeds increase. The game ends when you have lost all your lives.
>> A bit too wordy. "You must run through the maze to eat all pills without being captured by a ghost. By eating an energizer, Kapman gets the ability to eat ghosts for a few seconds. When a stage is cleared of pills and energizers, the player is taken to the next stage with slightly increased game speed."
